Notes

• The  Disengage Action allows creatures to avoid provoking opportunity attacks.
• When dual wielding melee weapons, both weapons are used for an opportunity attack. First, a  Main Hand Attack is made, followed by an  Off-Hand Attack (Melee) with the same modifiers and damage as normal.
• The  Polearm Master feat allows an opportunity attack when creatures move into reach if using polearms.
• Creatures cannot make opportunity attacks when:
  • Wielding ranged weapons
  • Having conditions that prevent the use of  Reactions, such as  Prone,  Incapacitated, or  Sleeping
  • Unable to see the target for any reason, such as the target being  Invisible or the attacker being  Blinded
