Sword of Spirit
Legend
Well that whole issue of leaving reach is pretty tricky it sounds like.
Interpretation 1: If you have 5 feet of reach, you threaten a 5' radius, whether your attacks would be blocked or not.
Interpretation 2: You do not threaten, or have reach to, any area within that 5' that has total cover from you.
Imagine you are fighting someone near the edge of an opaque wall of force. Do you threaten the space on the far side of the wall of force that has complete cover from you (and which you couldn't even get to without leaving your current space/location)?
Interpretation 1 says, yes, you do, and therefore an opponent could sidestep from a space you could reach them to that space behind the wall and you would not get an opportunity attack.
Interpretation 2 says, no, you don't threaten it and it isn't within your reach (because you literally can't reach it), and you would get an opportunity attack when they moved out of your actual reach to behind the wall.
I don't think I'd really considered this before, but I'm leaning towards interpretation 2.
