Because you can break your move if there is cover (and you're not just fighting in a white room) no caster PC should either start or end their turn out of cover. Either you need to not nimble escape but instead ready actions (which is a very different feel from the one you want), to take disadvantage from cover, or to attack the melee PCs anyway.And I think this also fails to recognise that goblins are far from the only offender. Even <a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Ogre#content" target="_blank">an ogre</a> is minimally different at range from in melee. You use strength to hit and damage in melee and with thrown ranged weapons - or dexterity to hit and damage at range or with finesse weapons.</blockquote>
