[QUOTE="Zinnger, post: 6672491, member: 6788910"] The amount of twisting and shifting here is so odd and IMO far from what the authors of the game designed. RAW may simply state on OA is available with this feat but what makes sense is that you get it BECAUSE you are wielding this reach weapon. Otherwise, there is no OA. It only makes sense to me that this reach weapon is used to make the attack as it is how you got the OA in the first place. Further proof of the RAI was included in the response by Sage Genesis where the tweet indicates that the feats cannot be combined and this "problem" cannot exist. I mean, the reach weapon grants the OA. Without it there is no OA and therefore no attack to worry about. And this bit about party members being hostile at will sounds like... well, I don't want to be insulting but it would never happen at my table. If a party member is hostile as it runs by the warcaster mage, then that mage can use its reaction to attack that formerly friendly with whatever attack spell it has. Really, what player has EVER cast haste on the hill giant that was attacking them? 5e is about getting rid of the stupid rule lawyer stuff and having simple fun. If a DM fails to do that with this set of rules then that is their failure, not the rules. Go ahead and jump on me - I don't care and will not respond. Your table is your table and mine is mine. But some things are so far out there... wow. [/QUOTE]
