The trigger is protected only from the Disengage action, not from other abilities like Fancy Footwork or Flyby. (A creature with Flyby would be the opposite) When it enters your range your Polearm Master trigger is disabled by Disengage likewise while it moves around you it doesn't trigger your Hold the Line but when it leaves your reach, this trigger is protected by your Sentinel feat and thus you can finally make an attack of opportunity. For example, imagine you are a high-level Cavalier with Polearm Master and Sentinel now a creature Disengages and tries to run through you. Which means:ĭisengage still blocks other triggers. Sentinel prevents the Disengage action from affecting the default trigger. Some features give your AoO more triggers for example the Polearm Master feat gives you one when a creature enters your polearm's reach, and Hold the Line gives you one when a creature moves while being already inside your reach. Other features, like Mobile feat or owls' Flyby negate triggers in different ways, like all AoO,s from one specific creature or AoO,s by leaving a creature's reach. If there were an AoO triggered by something else (say, if Mage Slayer and Sentinel's reaction attacks were attacks of opportunity), Disengage wouldn't prevent it ─note that, to my knowledge, no such feature exists in published 5E material so far. ![]() The Disengage action makes it so your movement doesn't trigger AoO,s. Some actions and/or features, both on your part or on the target's, modify the behaviour of "attack of opportunity" reactions. "Attack of opportunity" is a label for something that you can do as a reaction by default, it's triggered by a creature moving out of your melee reach, and it allows you to make one melee weapon attack against the triggering creature.
