Prone 5e Opportunity Attack

A monster is 5e prone at your feet and uses half its motion to endure. Does this provoke an opportunity attack? The RAW seems reasonably clear that it does not:

“You can make an opportunity attack every time a hostile creature that you can observe moves out of your reach. To produce the opportunity attack, you employ your response to make one melee attack against the sparking creature. The attack occurs right before the creature leaves your reach.”

But it seems reasonable that someone gradually dragging themselves to their feet right in front of You’d provoke an opportunity attack (unless the creature utilizes the disengage action when standing. It doesn’t warrant an opportunity attack, for the simple truth that the monster is not moving out of your threat area, they’re merely standing up from inside it.

The Principle

If it would work as you indicate, then any action aside from disengage or attack could be possible triggers for an opportunity attack (casting a spell, drinking a potion, making any skill test ) because they would adhere to the same principle of the monster doing “something that could offer an opening).

What about standing up from prone 5e? Whatever other actions the creature decides to take in that turn aren’t necessarily disjointed. Suppose you wish to attack in the same turn you stand. Your attack could well be a part of your movement of standing up, as may be the casting of a spell. Suppose you decide to choose the disengage actions to move farther away. The “difficulty” simplifies itself. And in the event you want to do anything else. You are still very much aware that you have someone that is right above you waiting to attack you.

The attack of opportunity is the result of motion out threat area without disengage action for overconfidence. The one thing that provokes an opportunity attack is moving out of a monster’s reach. The fact that it eats up half your movement does not necessarily imply it’s a slow process. There is no specified duration to get a twist, let alone actions and movement in turn. There are all sorts of stuff that may reasonably provoke an attack of opportunity and many steps in preceding versions. The current rules prefer simplicity.

What is the Prone 5e Condition?

Requirements change a creature’s capabilities in many different ways. They may arise due to a spell, a class feature, a monster’s attack, or another effect. Most conditions, for example, blinded, are impairments, but some, for example, invisible, can be advantageous. A condition lasts either until it is countered (the prone 5e condition is countered by standing up, for example) or for a duration specified by the effect that imposed the illness. Suppose multiple effects assess the identical condition on a monster. In that case, each case of the condition has its duration, but its results don’t worsen. A creature has a state or does not.

So in 5e Prone, you grant combat advantage to enemies making melee attacks against you. You get a +2 bonus to all guards against ranged attacks from nonadjacent enemies. You are lying on the floor. A prone animal’s only movement option is to crawl unless it moves up and thereby ends the illness. The monster has a disadvantage on attack rolls. An attack roll against the creature has an advantage when the attacker has been within 5 feet of this creature.

How do you get out from Prone 5e?

You can drop prone without using any of your speed. Standing up takes more effort; doing so costs an amount of movement equal to half your speed. By way of instance, if your rate is 30 feet, you must spend 15 feet of action to stand up.

Does getting up from Prone trigger 5e Booming blade?

No. As stated by the implications of this Jeremy Crawford ruling under, standing up from prone doesn’t trigger booming blade. The trigger requires the target monster to move, but even though standing up costs the goal movement, it doesn’t move the goal anywhere.

Prone 5e Ranged Attack

Attacking with a ranged attack while the enemy is within melee range imposes a disadvantage. Attacking a goal prone to a ranged attack gives a penalty while attacking with a melee attack. However, what about attacking an enemy who is prone in melee range with a ranged weapon.

Attacking a prone goal gives an advantage if the attacker is within 5 feet of their target or a disadvantage if the attacker is over 5 feet off. It doesn’t matter whether you are using a melee weapon or ranged weapon. All that matters is how far away you are.

So if you are standing right next to a prone enemy and try to shoot them with a crossbow, you’ll have a drawback for creating a ranged attack. In contrast, alongside an enemy, but the advantage for attacking a prone enemy in 5 feet of you, so it might cancel out into a standard attack roll. If you’d like the Crossbow Expert feat, you would only have the advantage for attacking a prone enemy over 5 feet, which means you would attack with advantage.
