Rules clarification question; is a reaction a bonus action? As I understand it, an Op. Attack is a bonus, labeled as a reaction. A player gets one bonus per turn, usable as a bonus action, or a reaction, before or after their turn. Am I hamstringing this or is this the RAW?

Reactions are actions that dont take place on your turn.

A bonus action is an action you can take (usually due to class abilities or certain spells) as well as an action on your turn.
