Hey fa/tg/uys!
I just bought the 5ed starter set with Lost Mines of Phandelver and I'm reading through the rulebook and it mentions that taking the disengage action means that you do not incur AoO for your movement. I'm not sure I understand though.
Does this mean a disengaging character can move around any number of enemies without AoO or does it just count once?
Since the character used their action to disengage does that mean they don't have an action to make an attack with?
Any clarification your vaunted elders could lend would be greatly appreciated.

You can move around without disengaging.
Disengage lets you move out of an opponent's reach without provoking opportunity attacks. The limit is your movement.

A disengaging character does not provoke opportunity attacks for the whole turn.
A creature that uses their action to disengage cannot also use it to attack. Some things will let you disengage with your bonus action, meaning you can then attack with your action.

What kinds of things allow disengage as a bonus action?

So the idea is a get in reach of an enemy, then burn my attack action to disengage and I've basically flipped a toggle that lets me avid all AoO for the rest of my turn?

The rogue's Cunning Action, the monk's whatschamacallit, the Haste spell.

actually the idea is that the enemy gets in reach, and you disengage to retreat.
also a fighter using action surge can attack with the action, then disengage with their extra action.
