Frightened condition is broken and attack of opportunity

[Irolleda1]

So we fought a Beholder and one of my friends got frightened. The description of it states that the creature would run away from the source that it came from. My friends character actually kept running towards it even though there was plenty of space for him to run away. So obviously this caused him to get hit a few times. Also, you should still be able to make attacks with the person who is frightened but with disadvantage in which this didn't happen. The character would move by himself and immediately end its turn. If anything, you should have it where we are able to move our character to the location that is away from said source and still be able to do the other actions we are supposed to be allowed to do. Then there's attack of opportunity. I was locked into combat and the creature didn't disengage and moved away, I didn't get the chance to even swing on the creature. I do have the thing to be automated for that so I'm not sure if that matters to much. Or sometimes the creature would run past you to get to someone else and nothing gets triggered.

OAs are currently bugged. Like you witness, sometimes they don't trigger when you are engage on an enemy, and they never trigger if an enemy walks by you on their turn.

Fear usually works as intended, but I've seen many times where it bugs and the character either doesn't move at all or runs in an odd direction.

I don't believe you should get an attack if you are frightened.

Frighten only gives disadvantage on attack rolls and forces you not move closer to that creature that gave you the condition.

So as long as it is moving away from the creature that gave it the status or moves zero feet then it is working as intended.

I'm fighting the masks in the Hag's lair, and Wyll is paralyzed, not frozen. I have lost all control. I can't move him away from the enemy. He just stands there and gets spammed. That's not how "frightened" is supposed to work.

Tbh, the Mask encounter is buggy as hell. Patch 5 actually seems to have introduced new bugs that make it harder to manage. Not just better AI that makes it more challenging, but actual bugs that make it near impossible to win.

Paralyzed is also a condition as well. You wouldn't be able to do anything if you have it.

I haven't noticed attacks of opportunity not working, although especially with huge targets sometimes you aren't actually close enough to get one even though it looks like you should. Guessing that's what happened here, since the sentinel is pretty huge. It's also good to know that one only gets ONE attack of opportunity, and so does the enemy, so if it's already been used you're done that round.

And as far as fear is concerned, it's a CC that prevents you from taking any action and your character will run around randomly like an idiot. Fortunately, if you use fear on something else they do the same thing which often gets you a free attack of opportunity on them.

This is actually the reason why I tend to not skimp on WIS when playing a fighter. Hold person, fear, and other mind spells will totally screw you. I believe there's a helmet somewhere that grants proficiency with WIS saves as well, which is quite nice even though crit immunity is pretty hard to pass up. Thankfully, I can carry two helmets.
