Reactions and MAP


Rules Discussion


I've been wondering if a reaction used by a character during their turn is subject to MAP. When the Rogue crits on her turn, she has Leave an Opening, which allows the Fighter to use their Attack of Opportunity, which the Rogue follows up with the Opportune Backstab reaction. The chaining itself seems to work, but I was wondering if the use of the Rogue's reaction during the Rogue's turn means it isn't affected by MAP?

I wasn't sure because Attack of Opportunity explicitly states that it isn't subject to MAP, but there's nothing similar for the Rogue's Opportune Backstab. I assume it isn't subject to MAP if used outside the Rogue's turn, but what about during the turn?

If it's during your own turn, and has no special exemption like the one AoO has, then MAP applies.
