OA's and monsters

First Post
If a monsters has multiple standard at will attacks can it use either when doing a OA?

eg Blue Slime has Slam and Double Attack, can the Blue Slime use the Double Attack for its OA's.

Cheers

Anyone, PC's or monsters, can only make melee basic attacks as opportunity attacks - unless some abilities says otherwise, of course.

Monster's melee basic attacks are marked with an encircled swords. I haven't found the Blue Slime in the MM, but all the monster's I've seen that have double attack don't have it as a basic attack, and can't use it as an OA - I doubt the blue slime can double attack as an OA.

Usually slams are basic attacks, so you can use a slam (usually, but look for the circled sword icon!) to make OA's.

Reading the "Monsters A-Z" section in your MM pages 4-7 explains stuff like this, and recharges and other mechanics, you should take a look.
