Nope, because if you're casting a spell then that AoO isn't able to be triggered (at 10') since Reach only applies to Reach weapon attacks.

If you aren't attacking with the Polearm Reach does not apply, so those AoO circumstances don't trigger. Reach only applies to attacks made with Reach weapons.

It works with Polearm Master at 5', not 10'. The Reach property effects how far you can attack with that weapon. When you make a War Caster spell reaction it is not an AoO (it's instead of an AoO), so you aren't using your weapon to make an attack and thus Reach isn't part of the equation...

No opinion required, just read the rules carefully, then DM decides for their own game.

Animaniacs did it better though.

RAW it doesn't work. So since you're instead casting a spell instead of making an OA you are no longer using that weapon to make an attack, therefore its Reach property will not apply. It works with neither RAW nor RAI (according to Sage), it only works if you go by specific fluff.

RAW is essentially silent on the physical size of a dragon as it only gives space controlled in combat. It's not about what I like. I'm pointing out that people consistently call Force Cage immensely strong or overpowered as written, but this is due to a failure to appreciate the rules for...

PHB 191...

Implied to be up to the DM as spaces don't correspond exactly with physical size, RAW. Rulings not rules.

Yet that's how this no-save spell is apparently balanced, RAW. Feel free to house rule and use grid sizes of course.

So? 5e has a lot of DM adjudication, RAW this is another example.

Grid sizes don't represent the physical size of a creature, just the space it controls on the battlefield (PHB 191), so Force Cage isn't that straightforward.

That's not a good summary.

Yeah, if your name isn't "EVE Online" player-driven sandbox doesn't work out so well...

Wikipedia says 1999? Even if it was 2001 that doesn't affect my point, that Obsidian made their best game with WotC/Hasbro in 2007.

I really don't think cost is the issue, the rights for Forgotten Realms (at least) are already in use by Cryptic Studios/Perfect World Entertainment.

Mask of the Betrayer was better than either of those games. It's Obsidian's best and his best. I think it's odd that he harks back to pre-3.5 as his glory days.

I think from looking at D&D branded games currently that Neverwinter MMO could be the stumbling-block. i.e. somebody already has and is continuing to use the CRPG rights to at least Forgotten Realms, if not all D&D settings.

Legendary Resistance doesn't apply to a skill contest. Have your Bigby's Hand grapple the dragon mid-flight.
