#1 DrunkenElfRanger Aug 15, 2015 6:58:48	hello everyone   i have a question about a level 8 elf ranger and the amount of attacks it can do with two shortswords so the setup is   two shortswords to start at second level i took two weapon fighting to get my dex mod for the second shortsword   at thrid level i chose Hunter - Horde Breaker, giving me the ability to attack someone else within 5 feet.   so i'll stop here.   does this mean i can attack a creature twice, once with each shortsword, then 'spin off' and attack another one within' 5 feet twice, once with each shortsword? or can i only attack with one sword?   next, at 5th level i was given Extra Attack, which says i can attack twice, instead of once, whenever i take the Attack action.   so, once again, same scenario as before... I attack a creature, once with each shortsword, i 'spin off' to another creature within 5 feet and use my shortswords bam-bam (twice...assuming i can...)...can i then attack again with my Extra Attack? and if so, can i use both shortswords??   any info would be appriciated.
