[QUOTE="erf_beto, post: 5929101, member: 47533"] I can see something like that working. You'd switch to "Defender mode" and wait for them to come (ie. provoke OA). If you haven't had a chance to swing at anyone during the "waiting" round (this is, no one came into threat range), you make an extra attack at the start of your next round. Basically, you'd be readying a melee attack against anyone who tries to pass through you, or attack an ally, or cast a spell. So, if you're already engaged with another foe, you won't loose your attack for the turn (so action economy is intact, even if the attack happens next round). You can continue in this "OA stance" for the next round, defending your party against the foe you're battling and preventing others from getting through you. Fighters could get Advantage while in this Defender mode (or some other bonus, like halting enemy movement) . [/QUOTE]
