@JeremyECrawford Rules question. I have extra attack. Can I make 1 attack on my turn and then ready the second attack to happen later?

Fey Ancestry benefits any saving throw meant to stop an elf from suffering the charmed condition. #DnD https://t.co/A5KGj8vVvp

@looneysquash I would have thought the problem was that you can’t take two actions in one turn, and Attack and Ready are each actions. That issue would kick in if Extra Attack could be used with any action other than Attack.

@JeremyECrawford Can you ready the Attack action, and gain the benefits of Extra Attack when the trigger occurs?

@looneysquashBut can’t you Ready the Attack action (taking no other action), and then use Extra Attack with it when it triggers? Take a look at the text of Extra Attack. It's confined to your turn.

@JeremyECrawford seems like readying cantrip better then attacking then. since cantrip throws more attacks. seems logical to allows extra.

Readying a spell, including a cantrip, requires concentration. Readying an attack does not. #DnD https://t.co/y3NH1Uj8y5

The verbiage for “Actions in Combat” confine all listed actions to “on your turn.” If “Readying” exempts the “on your turn” restriction for “Actions in Combat,” then what prevents the exemption on any other action?
Specific beating general, same as always.
