Just realized Sentinel is heavily nerfed! No longer works with PAM, no longer works on most enemies who Disengage.

[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 9680087, member: 6795602"] It never did. I just checked 2014 rules and the 5ft requirement for OA's on a Disengage action is there as well. I don't know that anyone ever actually played it that way though? The within 5ft of you was in my 2014 PHB. So apparently that part never worked with reach weapons. (y) You are right that the enemy can disengage before entering your reach and will no longer take an OA in 2024. They would have in 2014. But we also have push mastery on Pikes. So even if an disengages and attempts to run by you to allies that means the enemy is doing nothing that turn. Next turn you can go Push it off the Ally with your Pike's Push Mastery. Now the enemy can't attack your ally and can't disengage without taking an OA. Since you also likely have higher accuracy in 2024 then it's much more likely you stop the enemy when the Sentinel attack does occur. The likely higher accuracy in 2024 alone makes sentinel by itself way more useful. Now instead of a 60% chance or so to stop an enemy you have a 84% chance to stop an enemy trying to move past you.
