Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone has some tips on how I might speed up my fighter's 4 attacks. I have dual weapon, so I have one warhammer that is magical which also does an additional 2d6 fire damage, and one regular warhammer. While I know I could technically make 3 attacks with the magical weapon, then the last bonus attack with the non-magical I find that for me that seems a tad over-powered (Though I could still use it if I needed the extra power/damage). So while it doesn't take me too long, it just FEELS like it takes forever. I hit the Attack button for the first attack (magical) then hit the damage (if it hits) then scroll down to where I added a custom dice roll to do the 2d6 fire damage, but the scrolling is awkward, because then I have to scroll back up to do the next 2nd attack (magical) and again scroll back down to the fire damage... etc... I wish DnD Beyond offered the option to really roll multiple dice at once (with the modifiers) - but to my knowledge this isn't possible.
I'll answer my own question here, but obviously still open to other ideas! I just was messing around and learned two things. 1) At the near top of the attack/dice box where it shows all the actions you can take, I saw the "Attack" Tab which just shows me the weapon attacks and also the custom 2d6 I made for the fire damage all at once, so this will help me not having to scroll up and down each time. 2) I'm not sure I like this yet, but I'll try it... I can roll "with advantage. DnD Beyond will do the math for the highest dice rolled, but It leaves me doing the math for the lowest die rolled. I think I can handle this, but it's not ideal as I sometimes make dumb mistakes.
You may want to only do the latter for initial attacks against bigger foes or against the last one standing. You are generally allowed to know if your first attack takes something out before you make your next attack and rolling both at once when something is one hit away from death (understanding that you don't know that) would be a waste.

Advice appreciated! Thanks!

Very good point! Thanks! I'll try to bring this up with the GM.
