If you're going to spend a Ki point on it, yes, have fun!

But be ready to have people sing Monty Python songs when you do it...

Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!

Only if you actually retreat. This maneuver works well to get past defenders to the enemy hiding in the back.
 


Yeah, well, you know, it was a joke. An easy road to a popular comedy cultural reference? For a few laughs?

Sheesh. Tough crowd.

Sorry. 90% of my posts are jokes and half of those get taken too seriously, so I should know better.

I wish that was a joke. :p
 

My DM dislikes this ruling and rules that disengage is per-enemy. Which makes it woefully useless when you're surrounded and in most need for a disengage.
 



For reference this is what it looks like:

Very common tactic in my games from rogues and monks to get where they want to be. Remember Disengage is just a name, you don't have to be adjacent to an enemy to use it, and it works rather well to run into and past large groups of minions to get to say bosses or enemy spellcasters in the back rank.

My fighter rogue did bonus action disengage then moved then dashed and action surged to end with 3 attacks
 

Disengage says "If you take the action Disengage, your movement does not provoke opportunity attacks for the rest of the turn.". If the MONK, use Disengage as BONUS ACTION (Ki point), out of the threatened area of an enemy (do not take the opportunity to attack), but by chance after stopping the threatened area of another enemy and using DASH as action to exit the threatened area of this second enemy, he takes or no opportunity to attack ???
Note: Disengage says .. "our movement does not provoke opportunity attacks for the rest of the turn."

This is precisely the question. In fact it will move with Disengage, Stop, and move again with Dash.

The question is ... This disengage "cover" this Dash (No op. attack). Yes or no ??

Yes. If you Disengage, you are protected from OAs for the rest of the turn, no matter how many you provoke or from whom.
