Default Extra Attack - extra maneuver?

Can I make a Move maneuver and then make an Attack, if I have Extra Attack advantage? If not, why does in says in description: "Extra Attack is exactly that: an extra Attack maneuver on your turn in combat."?

Extra attack allows you to make an additional attack whenever you choose a maneuver that lets you make any number of attacks. It doesn't grant you additional capital-M Maneuvers each turn. That would be Altered Time Rate (notice the cost disparity!)

No you can not. it's been clarified in both the FAQ and in Martial Arts that it only provides attacks on Maneuvers that already provide an attack. Though they admit the wording in Basic set wasn't as clear as it could have been.

To probably use the word manuver to make sure you knew you could swap the attack action for other attack action like a feint.

To be clear, despite the text, Extra Attack does not provide an extra Maneuver of any kind.

It lets you take an additional attack in Maneuvers that allow you to attack. That's it.

Though there are ways to get 'around' that limitation. So far the only "Kromm Approved" method is to make it a Riposte style counter-attack following a defense... but on the next page of the thread I discuss the possibility of a Stop Hit style Extra Attack.


And in some other thread somewhere (which I cannot find) there was discussion on Enhancements that would allow Extra Attack on non-Attack Maneuvers, but we never came to a firm conclusion on it's cost or worthiness...

As many already replied, Extra Attack on basic has a poor wording. If you have it, check the description on Martial and Kromm posts for much better understanding.
