Errata says to ignore "within 5 feet of you in the second benefit".

 

The first benefit mentioned in the Feat that involves within 5 feet is the AoE when using Disengage.

 

The second refers to getting a Reaction to attack.

 

I'm confused, I can hit people that is 100 feet away with this feat?

The second benefit of the feat is the one that mentions the "within 5 feet of you" part.  Ignore that part.

I don't get it. You just repeated what I said on the post, you didn't answer my question.

 

Do I get to attack someone at 100 feet? I can attack anyone attacking my allies using this feat?

No.... you need to reread the feat. There are three bullet points. You seemed to have missed the first one.

 

The real second point still deals with your range.

The text for the second benefit of the feat (the first benefit being on the previous page) now reads:

 

Creatures within 5 feet of you provoke opportunity attacks from you even if they take the Disengage action before leaving your reach.

I wish they would've taken out the "before leaving your reach" part as well. That way it'd work with all OAs. Mainly the Polearm Master one.

In my game, I use "moves further away from an adjacent square" instead of "out of your reach" as a condition for triggering a normal (non-Polearm Master) AoO because RAW makes Reach weapon users have less battlefield control than non-Reach weapon users. I also add a restriction to the bonus attack from Polearm Master (with the butt of your weapon) that it can only attack targets in adjacent squares since you are just pivoting your weapon and not changing your grip.
