[QUOTE="Skyscraper, post: 7430517, member: 48518"] Ancillary questions to using the facing rule: 1) Since 5E allows movement around a creature without provoking an OA, how do you handle a creature with multiple attacks first moving to the rear arc for a first attack, drawing a facing change as a reaction by the opponent; then moving to the new rear arc for one or more additional attacks with advantage? This seems unbalanced in favor of creatures that have multitple attacks. 2) how do you handle the situation where a creature moves around an enemy to its rear arc, and then simply moves away from it without drawing an OA? Indeed, broken down: the creature moves around the creature (no OA), then when he moves away (without disengaging), if the enemy uses its reaction for a facing change, it does not have a reaction left to make an OA. So unless I misunderstand, could any creature flee from an opponent without an OA by first moving to its rear arc, with the facing rule? Thanks for comments or play experience. [/QUOTE]
