Does darkness affect opportunity attacks 5e?

Yes, darkness significantly affects opportunity attacks (OAs) in D&D 5e because OAs require you to see the creature leaving your reach; if a creature is in darkness and you can't see it (due to magical darkness or being heavily obscured), you can't make an OA against them. Conversely, if you are in darkness and can't be seen, you won't provoke OAs as easily, but enemies with blindsight or darkvision (that can see through magical darkness) can still attack you normally.

Can you make opportunity attacks while in darkness?

But, for some reason I am doubting myself- that feels over powered? Rules state "You can make an opportunity attack when a hostile creature that you can see moves out of your reach." So RAW if the PC cannot see the creature, for whatever reason, they are unable to make an opportunity attack.

What is the effect of darkness 5e?

In D&D 5e, the Darkness spell creates a 15-foot-radius sphere of magical darkness that blocks vision, dispels non-magical light, and prevents creatures with darkvision from seeing through it, making the area heavily obscured. While it seems to neutralize combat advantages/disadvantages (attackers have advantage, targets have disadvantage, canceling out), its real power comes from combining it with abilities like the Warlock's Devil's Sight, allowing the caster to see perfectly while enemies are blinded, creating a huge tactical advantage for spells that don't require sight.

What is rule 0 in D&D?

Rule Zero in D&D (and TTRPGs) is the unwritten, ultimate principle that the Dungeon Master (DM) is the final authority, able to change, bend, or ignore any official rule to ensure the game flows, stays fun, and serves the group's story.

Does blindsight see through magical darkness?

Yes, Blindsight works through magical darkness in Dungeons & Dragons 5e because it relies on non-visual senses (like sound, vibration, scent) rather than light, making it unaffected by light conditions, magical or otherwise, allowing creatures with it to pinpoint enemies and move without disadvantage. While normal vision and Darkvision are blocked by the Darkness spell, blindsight bypasses this limitation, letting you "see" enemies within its range and attack them normally.
