[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8868781, member: 2209"] I think the intent of 5e combat rounds is that you can change as you go depending on circumstances such as the move attack then decide to either attack again or if you dropped them to then move again and attack someone else. The opening attack with spell trigger seems like the pressure plate scenario. If you plan to go forward 30 feet and the DM says 15 feet in you hit a pressure plate I would think you can then stop at 15 or choose to keep going. I don't think it is spelled out in 5e whether you declare at the beginning and no choice thereafter if things change part way through. Here the combatant plans to leave the square and gets hit. That hit happens before they leave the square. The question is whether the combatant can change their mind about the rest of their movement now that they have been hit. it seems a DM call as to whether reactions can happen quickly enough to no longer move to the next square and trigger the spell or whether they can stop themself from taking their foot off the pressure plate as they were moving. I would stop them at that exact time and ask what they do under the changed circumstances. [/QUOTE]
