This is a follow up video I just had to do because I quickly realized that not describing Disengage in the first video could have been detrimental to the teaching and learning experience I am aiming for.

Keep the feedback coming! I'm using it to create better content.

Simple and efficient. I like it! I like that each of the two videos focus on just the individual point.

As you make more videos, you should create a site to catalog them into easy-to-browse categories.

Protip: if you verify your account, you can combine videos into one.

That was really good. Apparently I have been doing opportunity attacks wrong. I have a topic for your next video: how to resolve a spell attack with different saves and without.

Amazing videos, I hope that you have the time to cover lots of subjects. I'd love to see some with the various spell shapes, even being a long time DnD player, I still have a hard time visualizing them. Oh, and subscribed on day one man, keep it up!

You've actually got 10 places to go and 7 of them will not provoke an Attack Of Opportunity.

As it is stated in 5th Edition pHB. pg 195:

"You can make an opportunity attack when a hostile creature that you can see moves out of your reach."

What this means is that you can move at speed within the threat range. Meaning you can reach the three squares behind the enemy with a normal movement.
