There's been some discussion lately around one of my tables about Reactions. Some are of the opinion that you only get 1 Reaction per round. Others say this is not necessarily true.
According to the Player's Handbook (Combat > Your Turn > Reactions):
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.
This wording implies that a character who is not first in the Initiative order could get 2 Reactions in the first round of combat. To do this, they would use a reaction before their turn, and then again at some point in the round after their turn has started.
That being said, I had thought that I had read somewhere that you only got one Reaction per round of combat, but I can't seem to find it. Obviously, whatever the DM rules is what it is, but I'm curious about what RAW has to say on this topic.
How many Reactions can a player get per round?
