Thezzarus & DxJxC You're both right of course. I totally forgot that natural weapon attacks are also considered unarmed strikes, and that unarmed strikes are not simply replaced by them. You seem to be right about the *rarity vs specificity* statement as well. I think it might've gotten too late last night.
Cantrips (even the blade ones) are not only weapon attacks. If they were, the fighter could replace all its attacks with them.
They are one weapon attack only. They are not zero weapon attacks. They are not two or three or more weapon attacks. They are one weapon attack only.
yes, but they are also spells, with spell effects. NOT just the weapon attack
The haste spell is silent on restrictions on spells you take with your Attack action.
I suspect because that isn't a thing you could even do when it was written. Regardless, the haste spell makes no restrictions on casting spells.
It only restricts the number of attacks you can make to one.
No matter how many times you say that you make your orange juice by mixing the stuff from the can in the freezer with tap water, it doesn’t make the orange juice water only.
If the thing that you want to do is not listed in the list of only possibilities for the action, well then that (stick with me on this) isn’t a possibility.
The haste spell is silent on restrictions on spells you take with your Attack action.
Hmm, I wonder why

It clearly says that if you take the Attack action you get "one weapon attack only". Since it says "only" then that excludes any use of spells in your Attack action.

It couldn’t be because it only lists possibilities, could it?
