How does the Sentinel feat work?
What does the Sentinel Feat do? The sentinel feat allows you to become a vigilant combatant in complete control of your surroundings. It gives you the ability to take more attacks of opportunity, more reaction attacks, and even lets you immobilize foes that try to escape your grasp.
Can you disengage through an enemy?
Disengaging allows you to move through enemy-threatened space without any issue or chance of opportunity attacks harming you (mind the exceptions…), but doesn’t do anything during the rest of the round, when the creatures you walked next to gang up on you. :p.
Can you disengage while prone 5e?
Yes, prone creatures can make opportunity attacks. The attack occurs right before the creature leaves your reach. You can avoid provoking an opportunity attack by taking the Disengage action.
How does Sentinel polearm master work?
As you mentioned, Polearm Master lets you make an Opportunity attack as someone enters your reach; Sentinel lets you drop an enemy’s speed to 0. This also applies while they’re still 10′ away from you, meaning that unless they have a reach weapon, they can’t then make a melee attack against you.
Does Sentinel work on spell attacks?
So the third benefit of the Sentinel feat states: When a creature within 5 feet of you makes an attack against a target other than you (and that target doesn’t have this feat), you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against the attacking creature.
How many times can you use Sentinel 5e?
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 11th level in this class and to four when you reach 20th level in this class.
Can you disengage and hide?
There is nothing stopping you from using your bonus action to Disengage and your action to Hide (or vice versa; you can’t do both with the same action). However, Disengage does not actually give you more movement; it simply allows you to move past or away from enemies without provoking an opportunity attack.
Can you take reactions while prone?
Yes, you can attack while prone. As it describes in the PHB’s definition of the prone condition on page 292: The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls.
Does getting up from Prone trigger Opportunity attacks?
It’s also triggered if someone moves THROUGH your attack range. And I say, standing up is moving, because it takes movement speed, and if that movement takes place INSIDE someone’s attack range, then I say yes it triggers an opportunity attack.
Does Sentinel work against mobile?
Sentinel does not beat mobile or fancy footwork. Sentinel beats disengage.
