Certain special abilities, spells, and situations allow you to take a special action called a *Reaction*. A *Reaction* is an instant response to a trigger of some kind, which can occur on your turn or on someone else's. The [[Opportunity Attack]] is the most common type of *Reaction*.
When you take a *Reaction*, you can't take another one until the start of your next turn. If the reaction interrupts another creature's turn, that creature can continue its turn right after the *Reaction*.
In terms of timing, a *Reaction* takes place immediately after its trigger unless the *Reaction's* description says otherwise.
