Huzzah!

Fifth level! Which, granted for a fighter doesn't get much: +8 hit points, +1 to all proficiencies, and extra attack. The barbarian also gets extra attack, along with fast movement. No doubt there is a play balance reason why it works that way. It does mean Orilo can start combats with an attack for an average of 10 HP, a second attack for the same average, a thump with the haft of his magic Guandao for an average of 7 HP, and then an action surge for 10 more HP, a total of 37. Unless he decides to burn all of his superiority dice, in which case add 18 points.

The rules on using superiority dice say

Precision Attack. When you make a weapon attack against a creature, you can expend one superiority die to add it to the attack roll.

Sharpened Attack. When you damage a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to add it to the damage roll.

I had assumed one was limited to one die per round but that's not what the rules say.
