I think this would work, but want to be sure.

 

Battle starts, a fighter with a glaive (reach) and Pole Arm Master readies an action so that when an enemy gets within 10' the figher will move 20' back.

 

Enemy moves within 10', the fighters gets an AoO, then moves back 20' before the enemy gets within their 5' range and thus can't attack and gets to AoO

 

Work?

No. Both the readied action and the Opportunity Attack require the fighter to use his Reaction. He only gets one Reaction per round.

Ah... I forgot the Ready used Reaction... oh well.

 

Thanks

Normally this doesn't work, but I think that an Oath of Vengeance Paladin with Polearm Master can eventually do this trick with the Polearm Master OA once he or she learns the class ability allowing half-speed movement on OAs.
