[QUOTE="Egon, post: 6734869, member: 6800672"] The thing with the scimitar is that, in the entry for the Goblin in LMoP, it is stated: Now, I know that the PHB only states Finesse and Light, with no reach in there. So I'm going entirely off of what's in the LMoP description for the enemy/weapon. I'm not above making mistakes, so if I'm wrong here please someone let me know. But what I see is that the weapon, at least in the hands of the Goblin in this situation, is reach. Right? And KS, the reason I asked for your explicit movement was to make sure that you weren't moving both in and out. Because if you move out of reach by maneuvering your way to whatever position you want to be in, you'd open yourself up to an AoO (assuming we figure out what the entry in LMoP is about). You can move into reach, and move about within reach; I just want to make sure that you aren't at some point moving OUT of reach, yes? EDIT: And as I post this, I decide to look at other entries in LMoP. And the Ghoul, on the same page, states the same thing about 5 ft. reach. It doesn't use a weapon, so I'm assuming that the entry is merely stating that the attack can only reach the adjacent 5 ft. square. Yes? Did I just read that wrong the first time with the Goblin? And sorry about this: I can tell a story, and I'm great with earlier editions and their rules. But 5E stumps me at times, and I am truly sorry as I don't want to have the story become a mechanical nightmare. [/QUOTE]
