Feat #48: Sentinel (5E)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2024
- You have mastered techniques to take advantage of every drop in any enemy's guard, gaining the following benefits:
When you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, the creature's speed becomes 0 for the rest of the turn.
Creatures provoke opportunity attacks from you even if they take the Disengage action before leaving your reach.
When a creature within 5 feet of you makes an attack against a target other than you (and that target doesn't have this feat), you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against the attacking creature.

Take polearm master
Take sentinel
Enemy: approaches
You: no.
Be a bugbear
@@davidgareau7453 Sadly long limbs only counts for atks made on your turn by RAW. That being said run it past you DM, they might allow it regardless.
You can check in any time you like,
But you can never leave!'
DIO.
I know this is super old but you can also add the Tunnel Fighter fighting style from Unearthed Arcana to make it even dumber.
Very surprised that you don’t have many subscribers, very well made videos. Keep it up
Thank you sooo much for the support!
This also lets rogues get another sneak attack, monks get another chance for stunning strike, and battle masters use another superiority die attack.
Very good point!
You won't get an opportunity attack if your ally next to you has sentinel as well. However you can always get more guaranteed opportunity attacks with Riposte or mage slayer and use your familiar's help action to give you advantage every round by choosing a ready action for your character
I’m a moon Druid considering the sentinel feat specifically because our Paladin has taken the Mounted Combatant feat which seem to be really well synchronized. If the Paladin is riding me using Dire Wolf , he can force all attacks on me to target him, which should trigger an opportunity attack for me (with advantage due to Pack Tactics) which will drop the enemy’s speed to zero. Plus I now gain all the DEX save benefits.
This feat is wicked useful for Moon Druids.
I just share your channel every where i could think of, crit roll, puffin forrest, dm lair , take20, zee bach , i event share i link to your channel on critical roll fans facebook page lol you deserver more view, the community need to know that you exist!
I did try to put links to your channel every where lol
Thank you sooo much! I appreceate it more than you could ever know. You're AWESOME!!!!
Bugbear 🐞🐻 rogue 🏹🗡️Love this 🥰🥳🤗
Every barbarian that is the melee tank of the party needs this feat
Took sentinel for my bloodhunter/fighter, I mainly took it for the bit as the end seeing how one of the PCs was her twin brother who she wants to protect. It's cool because she has a blade of vengeance so making enemies stay in place means more chances of her failing wisdom saves :D
New to channel, like the simplicity/categorization
Would rec you cut intro down to like 10-15secs as end up fast forwarding to 45sec-1min mark routinely
still, appreciate what you are doing 🧙🏻♂️
OK, so far be it for me, a relative novice, to question the wisdom dispensed here, but I am going to anyway!
Page 170 clause 3 (Section "Sentinel" starts on page 169) specifies that: "....you can use your REACTION to make a melee weapon attack against the attacking creature".
Page 190 of the Player Handbook states:-
"A reaction is an instant response to a trigger of some kind which can occur on your turn or someone else's. The opportunity attack, described later in this chapter, is the most common type of reaction. "
So a reaction is not specifically an opportunity attack, although being able to make a melee weapon attack as a reaction, is indeed a valuable 'opportunity'? Therefore clause 3 does not automatically trigger clause 1? This seems intentional otherwise clause 3 would be stated before clause 1 OR would specify "opportunity attack" (An opportunity attack IS specifically a type of reaction)
The section covering reactions goes on to state:-
"IF the reaction interrupts another creature's turn, that creature can continue it's turn right after the reaction". Surely the word INSTANT [in the first paragraph describing a reaction] does imply that a reaction would interrupt a creature's attack on an ally? Where in the Player Handbook does it state that the creature's attack would be resolved before the sentinel feat?
It seems to me that a sentinel feat would not (and should not) automatically prevent an ally from being attacked. A glancing blow would not be enough to prevent the creature attacking. HOWEVER a nat-20 or a killing blow should surely be enough to protect your ally?
By similar reasoning, clause 2 should not automatically trigger clause 1 (even though clause 2 does specifically state opportunity attack). If you attempt to run past my tank fighter, within my reach and I deal you a significant hit, you might consider me a better target or at least stop to defend yourself against my attack (speed 0)? Conversely, a miss or glancing blow from me would probably not deter you from your originally intended target?
Ultimately I always believe that, in any given situation, it is for the DM to make the call. However guidance before the event helps prevent players from attempting stupid stuff that a DM would not (or should not) ever allow! Which is why I am surprised by your comment about dragons?
Taking out a bat or small bird (in low flight) simply because a reaction melee weapon attack triggers speed 0? Maybe, but a fully grown dragon? I find it hard to believe any DM would allow that? Perhaps if the sentinel feat triggered an incredibly lucky nat-20? Even then, taken out of low flight, the dragon might plough a huge trench, but it would most likely still get up in an awful bad mood!
Polearm Master is no joke (currently using it in a long one-shot with a glaive and loving it). here is a combo that works well with it
1. Variant Human (polearm master feat right off the bat)
2. Barbarian, Ancestral Guardian or Fighter, Cavalier (or multiclass in both of them).
3. level 4 pick Sentinel
I really like that! Thank you sooo much for commenting!
Bear totem barbarian with Sentinel is just a nightmare for anyone getting close to you.
@@brandoncreek5709 yes, ether one is fine to use with the polearm feat, but with A.G, you can hold 2 targets in place and it gives more of an opportunity to mark your target.
(note you can even mark at long rang. There is a debate on if A.G have to see your target or not and I personally would say yes you would have to)
Totem of The Bear is great for front line bashing and the Ancestral Guardian is great at being the protector.
Mix A.G with Fighter, Calv. marks and you can hold back a lot of foes.
Alternatively: Paladin or Ranger , because a extra 1d4 or 1d6 hurts so much with 3 strikes.
Paladin with sentinel is pretty good. I am finding it quite the damage dealing. Our DM doesn't allow the enemy's attack to go off if the damage drops the enemy's HP to zero.
It's a good build!
This feat seems to work well with swashbuckler too, particularly rakish audacity and panache. With rakish audacity, an attack of opportunity would allow sneak attack if the target was alone, or if an ally is next to it. And with panache, if a target was next to a sentinel feat character, use panache to goad them to attack the swashbuckler, effectively killing their turn, I.e the target goes to move to hit the swashbuckler triggering sentinel. Hit reduces to speed to zero. Rinse and repeat.
Excellent synergy with Barbarian Ancestral Guardian as it fills the gap of how things that trigger reactions come AFTER the trigger unless specified, so if a gnoll within 5ft of you attacks your wizard ally you cannot hit the gnoll until after the gnoll has completed their attack against your wizard ally. Ancestral guardians have the added protection of meaning that attack on your wizard will not only be with disadvantage but even if he does hit then the wizard will have resistance to the damage. This assumes you've been able to land one hit on them. With sentinel they can't get out of your reach and are pretty much forced to fight you.
You could easily be 10' from an enemy and 5' from a teammate at the same time which should not be a problem for RAW on all bullet points.
Hmm very interesting!
i think the monk would do good with this because using their ability for 1 ki, can make 2 attacks on the target. especially when they level up, as their damage starts doing more
Need some input. Would this stack with Advantage from pack tactics?
For example, I'm a circle of the moon druid, shifted into Dire Wolf, have sentinel feat, and have conjured 2x Dire Wolves and we're all attacking the same target.
Thoughts?
Booming blade makes it so they dont move fighter equals extra attack
In your opinion, how would warcaster and sentinel interact for triggering opportunity attacks with cantrips
Hej,
Thanks a lot for your work and your spirit.
What would you take first? The sentinel feat or the pole arm master? To me, sentinel looks more beautiful at level 4. I play a paladin with a halberd.
Rock on!
Thank you! When it comes to comparing Feats I always say it comes down to play style and party comp. In this case I do feel like Sentinel has a little more to offer.
@@ChancesSpellbook Ty, Sir! Ride on!
If you take the warcaster feat as well would your "Spell's of opportunity" also drop speed to 0? If so take the "Spell of opportunity" to cast Heat Metal on armour an opponent is likely wearing. This means the target takes 2d8 fire damage, is stuck in melee range with you and has disadvantage on all attack rolls and ability checks. If this works it seems brutal
Technically by RAW, I think that would work. In the portion of the feat regarding movement, it doesn't say it has to me a melee weapon atk. I'd allow this!
@@ChancesSpellbook Speaking from experience of the feat that's not correct though. War Caster states that when someone walks away from you you can cast a spell INSTEAD of taking an attack of opportunity. It's the same as why this feat doesn't make their speed 0 if you use the reaction attack from this feat to hit someone who hit one of your friends.
So sadly despite the fact that there are spells that allow you to reach out and touch the target of the "opportunity spell" it doesn't in fact drop their speed to 0.
TL;DR: Sentinel does not stack with Warcaster :(
bug bears with sentinel and polearm master are ridiculous
I gave my players a LV1 feat. The Dragonborn paladin took Sentinel and boy does she (player is my bro) use it. Last session, the players is in a cave fight, the Paladin set up shop at the mouth and would not let any enemies get past her
So I have a really long question and I would like you to answer if you could
My Campain I am in the max level is like 40 and I am going into
Wizard School of Illusion 17 Levels
Eco Knight Level 20
Cleric Domain of Trickery Lv 3
1. Eco Knight 2 Ecos
2. Cleric Perfect Duplicate
3. If i am able to cast mirror image makes 3 Illusitory Duplicates
4. I have Sentinel
5. A friend said my perfect Duplicate also have Ecos
6. He also said that some of these would have Sentinel also
So my main question is how would this work?
Please and thank you
If you could answer.

Explain the controversy, please. I've never heard that there was one.
I've listed both feats below mostly for my own easy reference. 1a (below) doesn't interact with 2c (below) at all because it's an attack not the Attack action so I assume that's not the controversy. 1b is a separate attack of opportunity condition that will never happen simultaneously and you can't generally take multiple AoOs anyway so that shouldn't be it either. If the problem is the 5' range that shouldn't be an issue either aside from homebrew rules that emulate 3rd/3.5's problems with hitting targets inside polearms' 10' range but that's independent of the PAM feat anyway so also shouldn't be controversial in this video.
Polearm Master
1a) When you take the Attack action and attack with only a glaive, halberd, quarterstaff, or spear, you can use a bonus action to make a melee attack with the opposite end of the weapon. This attack uses the same ability modifier as the primary attack. The weapon's damage die for this attack is a d4, and it deals bludgeoning damage.
1b) While you are wielding a glaive, halberd, pike, quarterstaff, or spear, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter the reach you have with that weapon.
Sentinel
2c)When a creature within 5 feet of you makes an attack against a target other than you (and that target doesn't have this feat), you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against the attacking creature.
One question, can a target still move with a dash action after being hit with a sentinel opportunity attack or is it just stuck there for the rest of its turn?
Combine this with the UA feat Blade master when playing as a melee rogue and you will have some fun as Blade Master gives Advantage on Opportunity Attacks which means Sneak Attack :-)
For extra fun play a Swashbuckler/Battlemaster multi-class.
Haha I think that would be awesome!
Can you attack multiple people during the reaction when the enemy attacks ypur allies
Sadly not, you still only have 1 reaction!
@@ChancesSpellbook thank you i just got this feat and i didnt fully understand that part! Still really worth it if your a paladin or fighter
@@fightnight0718 There is one subclass that allows multiple reactions known as the Cobalt Soul Monk. At level 11 they get an ability called Mind of Mercury that allows additional reactions equal to your intelligence modifer. Next time I one I'm getting sentinel and maybe mage slayer so I can go ham.
Try to hit me and miss. Bitch! **Smack.**
Try to hit my friend. Bitch! **Smack.**
Try to shot an arrow at me and miss. Bitch! **Smack**
Try to shot an arrow at me and it hits. Bitch! **Throws it back.**
How do u feel about Sentinel/Polearm master on a Primeval Guardian Ranger?
Might be fun for a 1 shot, but I doubt I'd allow it in a full campaign!
@@ChancesSpellbook is it too OP? Btw, I'm a noob so if I'm asking stupid things, that's why.
What about great sword?
Does Sentinel stop Freedom of Movement?
I feel like Sentinel could be pretty useful to melee rogues who are particularly tanky, potentially triggering sneak attacks that immobilize and sneak attacks when allies are attacked. I don't see any reason why war caster and polearm master wouldn't both work with Sentinel, but I don't think the reach of a polearm should apply to war caster.
I love this feat on my battle smith artificer. My pet uses its reaction to impose disadvantage when I'm attacked. I use my reaction to attack an enemy when my pet is attacked. Win win!
Hi! Great video! I have a question. For rogue, If the enemy attacks the fighter. And I use my sentinel Reaction. Do i hit 1d8+3(Rapier) and then Sneak attack( 1d6)? Please help thank you!
Or is it just sneak attack 1d6?
Is it just me or does that first part of the feat make no sense what so ever. If you could try to prone the creature, it would make sense. How are you stopping the enemy in its tracks?
I like the third part of the feat and at least that makes somewhat sense.
Am I alone on this one?
P. S. As it is this feat is a little bit too powerful IMHO.
I've always visualized it as the player striking a creature while it's off guard, causing it to freeze in place. I do see where the confusion would be though haha!
I've often thought the same thing. The first part, with the creature being stopped...it only seems valid with polearm master. Because, if the creature approaches and strikes a friend, you interpose, and if you hit, it's speed is 0. Big deal. The creature already moved where it was wanting to go and by it's next turn, it will have it's movement back. So what is the point? The only way I could see it being potentially consistent value, is if you had something like Flail Mastery and you knock them prone. Still this is only valid if you or your allies turns follow the creatures and thus could get advantage on the attack. If their turn didn't follow, the creature will just get back up next turn.
@@hokiesfan4500 I play a hexblade Warlock with a glaive, and it's awesome. I have devils sight, so i just give an enemy hexblades curse, then cast darkness on them while moving in. They can't see shit, even with darkvision, so i get advantage on attacks, he gets disadvantage on his. And if he tries to flee, sentinel drops his speed to zero, even if he disengages. And since i have advantage, the opportunity attacks when he tries to leave almost always hit. So awesome
You are not alone. I read this feat over and over again and could not find a single consistent reason for the loss of movement. I was trying to imagine myself describing the reason why the creature would lose its movement for a single turn and can't think of more than like... 3 reasons and I don't like repeating patterns in my games... Would probably have to see with PCs what they think they do when they use the first part of it.
@@Marco_houle Hi! I've played battlemaster and that archetype has saving throws, like tripping attack. Sentinel needs to have a saving throw IMHO. Thanks for your comment :)
