I was thinking of making a Elf Gish in the 2024 that uses a Battle ax and was think that this may be a good think in the early levels. I am just having to figure out if he will be able to make them proc by just standing there or would he need to step back after nocked them prone.
DM dependent but IMO no. It expends your movement but I wouldn't say it is willingly moving. But that's also because IMO booming blade is pretty broken if the secondary damage is easy to proc.
The spell specifies "if the target willingly moves 5 feet or more," not "if the target expends 5 feet or more of movement." Standing from prone expends movement, it does not involve moving- the spell is pretty obviously supposed to be based on moving from the target's current hex. It's already a powerful cantrip, it doesn't need to be buffed.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
So It would be knock prone and then step back and take a attack of Opportunity at disadvantage.
Thank you all.
It you Topple it successfully, the enemy will have Prone condition until it right itself. If it crawl and you can see it leaves your reach, it would provoke an Opportunity Attack which you would do with Advantage.

I think that Deathmvp is saying to use Booming Blade, knock the enemy prone (somehow), then step away from them so that they'll have disadvantage on the opportunity attack against you and will have to move if they want to attack after standing.

Does standing from Prone proc the extra damage?

Standing up moves you nowhere and thus shouldn't trigger booming blade 's extra damage.
