The most common action to take in combat is the [[Attack]] action, whether you are swinging a sword, firing an arrow from a bow, or brawling with your fists. With this action, you make one [Melee] or [Ranged Attack]. See the [[Making an Attack]] section for the rules that govern attacks. Certain features, such as the [[Fighter#Extra Attack|Extra Attack]] feature of the [[Fighter]], allow you to make more than one attack with this action.
