It doesn't say that your character can not hit an enemy standing witin 5' like in other editions. So could my glaive armed character hit an enemy within 5'? Thanks Moot Dundle
#2 Plaguescarred1 Sep 15, 2014 20:13:52	Yes you can attack anywhere within your reach.     PHB195 Melee Attacks:  Used in hand-to-hand combat, a melee attack allows you to attack a foe within your reach.
#3 Kalani Sep 15, 2014 21:10:28	There is one caveat when using a reach weapon however - Enemies normally provoke opportunity attacks for leaving your reach. If your reach is 10ft with your weapon, they can run circles around you to attack a nearby ally 10-ft behind you without provoking an OA.    With that being said, the party can do the same thing to that Ogre they are fighting.
