Extra Attack & All-Out-Attack & Trademark Move
I'm creating a Swashbuckler who uses Nito Ryu, and so fights with a katana in one hand and a shortsword in the other. He has one level of Extra Attack and the Trademark Moves (Dual-Weapon Attack; Shortsword Swing/Torso, Broadsword Swing/Torso) and (All-Out-Attack; Broadsword Swing/Neck). I did this to make the following turn possible:
Thanks in advance.

Re: Extra Attack & All-Out-Attack & Trademark Move

Effectively, it is the same as you describe (all out attack and dual weapon attack), but you came at it a bit backwards. Also, trademark move covers your turn, not your attack. So in this case, you would have a single trademark move that is the entire action that you describe above. You don't need two separate trademark moves (and, in fact, can't use two separate trademark moves in a single round this way). The only exception to that that I know of is if you are under the effects of something like a greater haste spell which actually grants you extra actions/rounds. I hope that this helps! |

Re: Extra Attack & All-Out-Attack & Trademark Move
Extra attack grants one extra attack action when you select the Attack, All-Out Attack, or Move And Attack maneuvers (Adventurers p.49). That's your maneuver for the turn: how you break it down is up to you. You can trade ONE attack action for a Rapid Strike or Dual-Weapon Attack, and your All-Out Attack choice can be "Double" for a total of three attack actions.
Your trademark move should be: All-Out Attack (Strong? Determined? Pick one) with the following attack actions: -Dual-Weapon Attack (Shortsword Swing/Torso) & Broadsword Swing/Torso -Broadsword Swing/Neck You could alternately use some other combination, like "AoA (Double): DWA (Shortsword Swing/Torso, Broadsword Swing/Torso), Broadsword Swing/Neck, Shortsword Thrust/Vitals".

Re: Extra Attack & All-Out-Attack & Trademark Move
Wouldn’t all-out-attack mean no defenses next turn? I don’t understand making all-out-attack as part of a trademark move unless you’re a tank fighting mooks that can’t really hurt you. All-our attack fighting an ogre, for example, is a terrible idea. You might die if he punches your skull, let alone hammers away with a club.

Re: Extra Attack & All-Out-Attack & Trademark Move
Yeah, I can’t see why you would rob a Swashbuckler of his active defenses- it’s like one of the two great things about swashbuckling. Maybe AoA(Double) followed by a targeted attack would be better.

Re: Extra Attack & All-Out-Attack & Trademark Move
Because the OP thought he'd be getting four attacks in one round, thus it might just be worth it if the foe dies without ever being able to strike a blow itself.

It's not that, I just wondered whether I'd be able to tack two Trademark Moves together as a sort of finishing move.

Re: Extra Attack & All-Out-Attack & Trademark Move
Sure, but then why All-Out Attack was the question, considering how a Swashbuckler tends to live or die by his defenses and All-Out Attack removes all your defenses.
