Take Disengage before moving out of hostile reach when avoiding opportunity attacks matters.

Limits And Rolls

  • It does not protect against readied attacks, area effects, or features that trigger differently.
  • Disengage normally requires no roll.
  • You only roll when the rule, DM, spell, item, or feature asks for a roll.
