Booming Blade:
You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you.
Extra attack:
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
I think we can agree that Booming Blade is casting a spell (a cantrip). Obviously I can’t use Booming Blade twice.
But does the fact that it’s a spell that makes a melee weapon attack count as “taking the attack action”?
In other words - if I cast Booming Blade, am I locked out of Extra Attack because I took a “Cast a Spell” action instead of an “Attack” action? Or do I still get an extra attack because casting the spell made me take the Attack action?
Also the bladesingers extra attack feature at level 6 is kind of designed to synergise with cantrips like booming blade and green flame blade.
The OneDND version of EK has this at level 7 now as well
