Fighter Extra Attack overrides Devouring Blade's higher attack count

[hauwauibrahimumar0-arch]

Bug Report:
Warlock 12 (Thirsting Blade + Devouring Blade) / Fighter 5 multiclass
Per 5.5e core rules, multiple Extra Attack effects do not stack, and we are supposed to use the maximum attack count available from all sources.
Currently, the Fighter's Extra Attack (2 attacks) is overriding the higher attack value from Devouring Blade (3 attacks), resulting in only 2 attacks total with the pact weapon.
The module is incorrectly prioritizing the lower attack number instead of taking the maximum value, which is a logic error in the priority handling of Extra Attack effects.

Thanks for the report.

This combination — Warlock 12 + Fighter 5 — is a character level 17 build, which is only reachable with a mod that raises the vanilla level cap of 12.

This mod is built and tested against the vanilla 12-level progression, and compatibility with level 13-20 mods is out of scope. Extra Attack interactions past level 12 aren't something we account for, so behavior in that range isn't something we can support or fix.

Within the supported range, Warlock 12 with Thirsting Blade + Devouring Blade grants 3 attacks as intended.

Closing as out of scope, but thanks for taking the time to write it up.

Separately — a request about your titles.

Both of your posts are titled just "bug report" (see #1065). A title like that carries zero information: it doesn't say which class, subclass, spell, or feature is involved, so it's useless for search, for linking related reports, and for anyone else hitting the same problem later.

Please use a title that names the actual subject. For this one, something like "Fighter Extra Attack overrides Devouring Blade's higher attack count" would have been fine.

Future posts with a generic title will be closed without investigation. Thanks.

I've retitled this from "bug report" to "Fighter Extra Attack overrides Devouring Blade's higher attack count" so it's searchable and reflects what the post is actually about. Please title your own posts this way going forward.
