Rules question for you folks. This is something my players and I have butted heads on, and I want to know if I'm in the minority on this (and if I am, then I'm prepared to adjust gracefully).
In the picture below, if the orc takes the path marked in blue, does Grimmwald get an opportunity attack when the orc leaves the square with the dot in it? I think it's cheesy as all get-out, but my players think it should be allowed.
The PHB says this (p. 192): Corners. Diagonal movement can’t cross the corner of a wall, large tree, or other terrain feature that fills its space.
But in this case, "crossing the corner of a wall" is debatable. It could be argued that Grimmwald wouldn't actually be crossing the corner. Personally, I think the intent was to rule out this situation, but it's not unambiguous.
How would you handle this at your table?
