Polearm Master: Opportunity Attack

Polearm Master: Opportunity Attack is a passive feature provided by the Polearm Master Feat. When an enemy approaches your melee range, you can spend a  Reaction to make an attack.

Description

When wielding a glaive, halberd, quarterstaff, or spear, you can make an  Opportunity Attack when a target comes within range.

Prerequisite: Must be wielding a glaive, halberd, quarterstaff, or spear.

How to learn

Granted by the feats: Polearm Master

Notes

• Cannot be triggered by moving forcibly an enemy into the range, for example, by shoving.
• Unlike the regular  Opportunity Attack, this feature is able to be used while under the protection of  Sanctuary but will immediately break the effect.

Bugs

• This feature is still able to attack targets that have either  Panache or  Fancy Footwork.
• Due to a reaction timing issue, this feature does not function with  Sentinel: Snare and a weapon with Extra Reach to stop creatures from entering within their 1.5 m (5 ft) melee range. The Opportunity Attack reaction window will prompt at 2.5 m (8 ft), but the attack will not be made until the creature has already moved to within 1.5 m (5 ft).
