How do OAs interact with reach weapons in 5th?
I rarely see people in the games I've been in use reach weapons, so I'm not well-versed in how it plays out.
As I understand it, 5E OAs only trigger when leaving a creature's threatened area. Is this still the same when a creature has reach? In other games/editions, you would someone approaching a PC with reach would take attacks while trying to get close. How does it work in 5th?
Yes it still works the same way with reach weapons, unless you have the Polearm Master feat. With that feat, you get an OA when they enter your reach.
