[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 7400154, member: 58197"] If you have unlimited room to run, [I]and[/I] you don't care how long it takes, you can in fact use superior speed to kite indefinitely. The enemy will get one OA if you start in melee range, but they'll never get a second one. Say you're a wood elf fighting a human. On your turn, you Dash away from the enemy, moving 70 feet. The enemy Dashes toward you, moving 60 feet. End result: You're 10 feet farther apart than when you started. Repeat until the gap is at least 35 feet.
