Reuesting clarification because I might be misunderstanding PHB page 195:
Quote:
Escaping a Grapple. A grappled creature can use its action to escape. To do so, it must succeed on a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check contested by your Strength (Athletics) check.
If I attempt to escape (succeed or fail) that is mu action for the round - I can't attack. This is why I didn't attempt it last round and chose to attack instead. Actually I thought about using my once-a-day Misty Step (a bonus action) but decided I needed the Second Wind more at that moment.
Let me know if I've got it wrong and I CAN attack in the same round I attempt an escape.
