Sorry if this has been asked before.  I'm sure it has as I half remember reading it, but I cannot find the thread again...

 

Is the only attack of opportunity in v5 moving away from someone or is there other instances where they occur?

 

I think I'm jus used to v3.5 where spellcasting, using a bow etc awarded the other person an Attack of Opportunity I guess.

 

Many thanks in advance for helping me understand the rules better,

Yes, that's the only possible way of getting an attack of opportunity. There are one or two specific abilities that have other ways of letting you attack out of turn, but even those are just reaction attacks, not attacks of opportunity, and you can only use them if you have the ability that lets you do so.

Cheers for getting back to me.

 

Sure is different from v3.5. Oh well
