Opportunity Attacks & Misty Step 2024

The new rules for Opportunity Attacks states that "when a creature that you see leaves your reach using its action, it's bonus action, it's reaction or one of its speeds" we can then "make an Opportunity Attack". Does this now include things like Misty Step?

My thought process:

Misty Step is a bonus action. Misty step takes you out of the reach (and there is no clear definition of "leaving someone's reach", so I go with "start within the reach and then end up outside of that reach at any point"). Therefore you have used a bonus action to leave someone's reach, thus provoking an opportunity attack...

In the previous rules stated that "You can make an opportunity attack when a hostile creature that you can see moves out of your reach" which speaks only about moving, therefore relating to movement, but now it sats take a "bonus action ... Or one of its speeds" so you don't have to use movement as there are other options...

Is misty stepping out of danger dead?

According to RAW seems yes.

No. Teleportation never provokes attacks of opportunity.

I don't think so, because Misty Step teleports you and it's one of the reasons to avoid OA:

---

Avoiding Opportunity Attack. You can avoid provoking an Opportunity Attack by taking the Disengage action. You also don’t provoke an Opportunity Attack when you Teleport or when you are moved without using your movement, action, Bonus Action, or Reaction. For example, you don’t provoke an Opportunity Attack if an explosion hurls you out of a foe’s reach or if you fall past an enemy.

Edit: I got ninja'd :) I fully agree with @SagaTympana

Therefore, unless the someone in question has a specific weapon or other feature that gives it a longer reach, "leaving someone's reach" means moving from a position within 5 feet of them to a position that's more than 5 feet away of them.

 REACH

A Reach weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you attack with it, as well as when determining your reach for Opportunity Attacks with it.

That means you make OA when the foe moves further 10' from you, so if it moves from 5' to 10' you don't make an OA.

Very fair! Thanks!

You're both very right! Thank you!

This begs for a question... If I use repelling blast on an enemy that's on melee range with an ally, and i make him leave that area through that mean, do my ally get an AoO?

Edit: Just read properly. It doesn't.

 I think a different approach could be, instead of making the enemy leave your ally's reach, making them enter it so your ally can use Polearm Master's Reactive Strike, if available, as it doesn't rely on Opportunity Attacks.

Reactive Strike. While you’re holding a Quarterstaff, a Spear, or a weapon that has the Heavy and Reach properties, you can take a Reaction to make one melee attack against a creature that enters the reach you have with that weapon.

 Yes, that is entirely correct. That is also how it worked in 5e.

You would be limited to making an Opportunity Attack either with a different weapon you are wielding that has a range of 5' or else an unarmed strike in this case.

So, with the Warrior of the Elements Monk subclass, which adds 10 feet of reach, I should be allowed an AoO at up to 15 feet.

 Since you get your opportunity attack when they leave your reach, you can make an unarmed strike when they leave the 15-foot range.

But not earlier, unless you have another source of attacks with a shorter range.

So if your elemental monk has a staff, you can take an opportunity attack with the staff when they leave 5 feet, and with unarmed strikes when they leave 15. (But not both on the same turn, because you only have the one reaction.)

So I had a thought: would moving a character using Telekinetic Movement provoke Opportunity Attacks? I'm playing a Psi Warrior and our cleric was getting pretty slapped around by a tonne of smaller enemies in my last session. Could I have gotten him out of there? It's not his action, bonus action, reaction, or movement.

 Yes, Opportunity Attacks require that the creature move under it's own movement, forced movement by another creature never triggers an Opportunity Attack, irrelevant of if that creature is allied or hostile against the creature being moved.

You could for example also use an unarmed strike to push an ally out of danger using the shove option, this also wouldn't trigger an Opportunity Attack for your ally.

If I'm understanding correctly what you're asking, I believe the answer is yes: if you have the old (2014) version of Mage Slayer, you can use your Reaction to make a melee weapon attack against someone who casts Misty Step near you. This is not technically an opportunity attack, and the 2024 version of Mage Slayer no longer has this benefit at all.

Per 2014, Misty Step concludes before the Reaction attack would have a chance to go off, as Misty Step must be cast (and the triggering action be concluded) in order for the reaction to occur. The DMG and Sage Advice clarifies this as well:

"If a reaction has no timing specified, or the timing is unclear, the reaction occurs after its trigger finishes, as in the Ready action."

 2024 Mage Slayer got a full rework, removing the bit about 'Taking Reaction Attacks when you see a spell being cast' so you don't need to worry about edge cases like that
