Message: <blockquote data-quote="AaronOfBarbaria" data-source="post: 6786671" data-attributes="member: 6701872">I'm not seeing anything on page 146 or 190 that actually says that an attack you can make as an action because of a spell you are concentrating on doesn't satisfy the "one melee attack" condition of the opportunity attack rules, since page 146 states things about weapons that really have nothing to do with opportunity attacks directly, and page 190 only says that some situations allow you to take a reaction and that the most common kind of reaction is an opportunity attack.Both the spell, and a weapon, have their own specific actions that are generally used (the Cast a Spell and Attack actions, respectively) - and then there is the specific circumstance of an opportunity attack which says "melee attack" not the more specific "melee weapon attack", so it seems to treat both weapon and spell attacks equally.What stops Mordenkainen's sword and spiritual weapon from being usable with an opportunity attack seems only to be that they are not typical in a position from which to make an attack against someone leaving your reach, which is what provokes the opportunity attack, and do not actually have a reach of their own given the wording of the spells not providing them with such.</blockquote>
