Movement resumes following an Attack of Opportunity in 5e. Movement is “invested” by the foot; if a creature has a motion speed of “30ft”. They can spend that much speed in a transfer action. If they’re interrupted by an opportunity attack following 10ft, they have 20ft left to spend.

Do attacks of opportunity get any benefit?

Suppose you only provoke an Opportunity Attack once you leave an enemy’s reach. Those enemies would not be flanking you anymore when you provoked their attack. The foes are not flanking the Heroin in that position. Therefore they don’t get an advantage on an Opportunity Attack.

Is it possible for a 5-foot step provoke a 5e attack of opportunity?

Does casting Lightning Bolt in melee provoke an Opportunity Attack in 5e?

Suppose you want to cast a Lightning Bolt 5e as their attack on a monster that had made it into melee with this Sorcerer. DM said it could produce the attack, but it would provoke an OA (that will likely kill the Sorcerer). The Player claimed as a magic-using personality. They would be as skilful as a Fighter making a melee attack. The range being Self was key to this issue. What lies beyond the initial target was not in question. AoE was not relevant.

DM mastered and decided is what we follow. Let us look for a discussion of the rules and logic of the situation. It took enough time summoning the magic that the monster would get a free shot. The Player countered a successful attack would stop the spell anyway.

The Player maintained a melee attack he was creating since the range was less than 5 feet (starting with the caster) and shouldn’t provoke OA.

Which position is right, though? Does casting Lightning Bolt within an enemy’s reach provoke an Opportunity Attack in 5e?

See the rules for Opportunity Attacks on the SRD:

Opportunity Attacks: In a fight, everyone is constantly watching for a chance to strike an enemy fleeing or passing by. Such a strike is an opportunity attack.

You can make an opportunity to attack a hostile creature that you can observe moves out of your reach every time. Suppose you want to take the opportunity attack. You use your reaction to make one melee attack against the provoking creature. The attack occurs right before the monster leaves your reach.

Attack of opportunity 5e with the Disengage action

It’s possible to refrain from sparking an opportunity attack by taking the Disengage action. You also don’t provoke an opportunity attack when you teleport. Or if somebody or something moves you without using your movement, activity, or reaction. By way of example, you do not provoke an opportunity attack in the event an explosion hurls you from a foe’s hit. Or if gravity makes you fall past an enemy.

That bolded part is the one thing that grants an opportunity attack, and it requires you to move out of reach of an opponent. That makes them work very differently in previous versions. You can freely engage with an enemy through large threat ranges and move around inside a person’s threatened space. However, it is provided that you don’t leave it. Spell never excite, and neither make ranged attacks. Lightning Bolt isn’t one of these.

Future conversation with your DM

A monster with a Mage Slayer feat would have the ability to make a melee weapon attack against the Sorcerer with it’s a reaction. Per the definition of responses and when they occur. This attack would happen right after the spell being cast. The ability to do this specific feature of the Mage Slayer will cost an effort and grant it to everyone. They can reasonably increase a creature’s CR against hefty caster groups.

The DM’s problem with selecting Self should not be construed to imply anything other than that the spell. Instead of Fireball, it must originate from yourself, a 20′ radius world within 150′ of the caster. Remember, many enthusiast spells, such as smite enhancers for Paladins, use a range of Self-indulgent. So it likely it isn’t intended for these spells with this range to excite opportunity attacks. It is unless lest it renders a whole sub-category of spells pointless (or at least too risky to use).

Your DM is likely recalling principles from previous editions, which are not relevant in 5e. Their exception was likely deliberate by the designers. It’s well worth noting that casters’ power has been scaled back since 3.5. Is your DM aware of adding an extra nerf to eliminate their ability to throw in melee range? It might be considerably unbalancing for the attack of opportunity 5e.
