Hello tabletop heroes!
I have a question that came up in today's session. Suppose blue knight wants to use the Disengage action to move diagonally 30 feet along the yellow path without provoking an Opportunity Attack from the red enemy minotaur. Our DM says that's not allowed because it moves through the enemy minotaur's space. He ruled I would have to move along the green path which leaves me 5 feet short of where I wanted to be.
According to RAW, which is right? Can you give me a page # or other reference I can refer to in the future? I looked in the DMG on dndbeyond and couldn't find anything specific to this situation.
Our DM rules that if there was a medium sized enemy where the green 10 ft marker is then you couldn't squeeze between the two enemies to follow the yellow path. That seems fair enough. But here there is no other enemy on the opposite square.
