[QUOTE="Kikuras, post: 6537333, member: 6790771"] I was mostly giving you a hard time, I obviously agree that that reach of the weapon allows you a reach AoO. But what you're incorrect about is denying the spell. I cannot stress this enough, IF the AoO can happen, it can be replaced. There is not a single rule to dispute that. There's logic to support it, there's even RAI to support it, but no RAW. Feats supersede standard rules, and the War Caster feat clearly says: "When a hostile creature’s movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to cast a spell at the creature, rather than making an opportunity attack." The AoO happens, then the spell replaces it. The spell is not triggered by the movement. The spell is triggered by the feat which is triggered by the AoO, which is triggered by the weapon, which is technically triggered by another feat. The only thing I stated incorrectly was that it didn't matter where the AoO was from. We can see here it requires movement by a hostile creature, but that still stands with my claims in earlier posts. [/QUOTE]
