I gotta ask just for clarity, when a feature says once per attack, does it mean once per attack given by Extra Attack and any other feature? Or does it mean once every time I take the Attack action?
Currently, I do do it once per attack given by Extra Attack but I'm only asking just for consistency.
I think that you are doing it the right way. Looking at the Battle Master, Commander’s Strike explicitly calls out the Attack Action, but most others refer only to attacks; I assume this is a deliberate distinction.
Yeah, each attack of an attack action is a different attack.
It is only confusing because WotC used the same name for every similar thing. Like how you can take the attack action with extra attack to make 2 melee weapon attacks and they not be attacks with a weapon (aka unarmed strikes). I just used "attack" 4 times in 1 sentence and each meant something different in the rules.
There is also two weapon fighting and two weapon fighting style (they are 2 different things, can you tell?) and spell and spell attack (don't overlap more often than they do...).

Sorry, rant. Answer was first sentence.
Alright thanks guys! Just needed clarification on that one. I do agree that if it wants to talk about the Attack action, it specifies it.
