This thread makes my head hurt.
No you only get 1 reaction per turn. So if you ready your reaction (not an action) for a certain trigger, but instead take an opportunity attack because that triggered first, that's your reaction. You don't get another one. One tactic I like to do when playing a frontliner, and something attacks the caster, I will move up to attack it, then move away to allow it to get it's opportunity attack on me, so the caster can,move away worry free.
Am I the only person who is struggling to parse what the heck is even being discussed in this thread?
Not at all. I don't even want to engage in it.
That's it. No comment. Just replying for solidarities sake.
(Except that mage dlayer allows you to use your reaction to interrupt a spell plus other things, basically rendering above discussion moot. Oops! Couldn't resist!)
Show us what makes it false
Relax.From a Crawford tweet: "To the reaction rule, a round is measured from the start of your turn. You could take a reaction, then again after your turn starts."
Crawford has, out of whole cloth with no textual support whatsoever, redefined what a round is solely for reactions. There is the round as defined in the rules - everyone has a turn. And a round as defined for reactions - the round starts on your turn. The first is in the rules. The second is completely fabricated in Crawford's mind. The statement "remember that you can only take one reaction per round" is now gibberish. Which round is this talking about? The actual round or this fantasy "reaction round"? It's like the rules assume two different kinds of rounds, one that's in the rules and another that's implied but never stated.
How this squares with a Thief who can take two turns in the first round of combat I have no idea. What round? The "combat round" or the "personal round"? Only one of these is defined in the rules. The other is... not.
