## Actions You can use one of the following actions, an action gained from your class, magic item, or trait, or an action that you improvise. Monsters have their own action options in their statistics. When you want to perform an action not detailed here, the Narrator determines whether the action is possible and what kind of roll you need to make to determine if you succeed or fail. | Action | Source (Who can do this?) | Notes | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | [Attack](https://a5e.tools/rules/making-attack) | Anyone | All 'Extra Attacks' a combatant gets all combine to make up a single Attack action | | [Cast a Spell](https://a5e.tools/rules/spellcasting) | Any spellcaster | Most spells take an action, but see the spell description to confirm | | [Dash](https://a5e.tools/rules/actions-combat) | Anyone | Double movement | | [Disengage](https://a5e.tools/rules/actions-combat) | Anyone | Retreat without provoking attacks of opportunity | | [Dodge](https://a5e.tools/rules/actions-combat) | Anyone | Attackers you can see have disadvantage, and you gain advantage on Dex saves | | [[03-Mechanics/9-Combat Maneuvers/Basic Maneuvers#Grab On\|Grab On]] | Anyone | Deal [[03-Mechanics/9-Combat Maneuvers/Basic Maneuvers#Basic Melee Damage\|basic melee damage]], climb on board a creature 2+ sizes larger than you and gain advantage to attacking it | | [Help](https://a5e.tools/rules/actions-combat) | Anyone able to threaten the same foe | Ally gains advantage on next attack roll | | [Hide](https://a5e.tools/rules/actions-combat) | Anyone | Make a Stealth check to gain advantage on next attack roll.
