Can a character who has Polearm Master and Extra Attacks do the Bonus Action attack more then once?
My DM and i are confused because, the way the ability is written in our language translation, it reads as giving a extra bonus action everytime you attack.

1) The opportunity is given when you take the attack action, so only once in your turn. But that's moot because :
2) You only have one bonus action per round during your turn, so you have to select what you use it for. A rogue can't both make a TWF bonus action attack and a bonus action disengage in the same turn, you can't make more than one bonus action attack from Polearm Master.

No, the bonus action triggers when you take the attack action, and the extra attack feature just lets you make more attacks when you take the attack action. You still only get a single bonus action attack.

Ok, that makes sense.
Thanks.
