I never claimed to be sane. Besides, it's more fun this way.

It seem like almost all cases of using your reaction during your turn comes from Spell casting. Absorb Elements, shield, Hellish Rebuke, Etc. And maybe some magic items.

Just FYI, the PHB does say this in the section on reactions:
A reaction is an instant response to a trigger of some kind, which can occur on your turn or on someone else's.
In theory, you could take almost any action as a reaction on your turn by using the Ready action and causing the trigger to happen immediately after on your turn.I never claimed to be sane. Besides, it's more fun this way.

Reading your first post, I saw no questions asked. It seemed like you were wanting a place to look for official rule clarifications.
Here you state three elements of the game, though I'm still not seeing your question.
Again, I'm not seeing your question, but rather your answer to a question not asked. I can guess what the question is, but it would be better if you specifically asked it. As for my guess, it sounds like you are questioning how many opportunity attacks you can make in a round. The answer is one. You have to use your reaction (you only get one reaction a round) to make an opportunity attack. So unless something specific gives you the ability to make an opportunity attack without using your reaction, or something gives you more than one reaction a round, you get one reaction that can be used to make an opportunity attack.
That being said, the cavalier has a feature at 18th level that does just that.
Starting at 18th level, you respond to danger with extraordinary vigilance. In combat, you get a special reaction that you can take once on every creature's turn, except your turn. You can use this special reaction only to make an opportunity attack, and you can't use it no the same turn that you take your normal reaction.
Personally, I see 18th level as too late in the game to really matter (most games won't go that far), so I don't pay much attention to features at this level. But nevertheless, is this feature what is confusing you?
EDIT: Okay, reading down, I found some specific questions that I missed. (Really shouldn't start at the end of a thread...)
As I mentioned above, you can use the ready action to take almost any action as a reaction on your turn. Furthermore, see below.
Yes. If an enemy uses their reaction on your turn to provoke an opportunity attack (usually with the ready action), then you can use your own reaction to perform an opportunity attack.Last edited by Nickademus; August 16th, 2018 at 16:08.
