Okay, the PHB details what happens when a Large or bigger creature with natural reach wields a reach weapon. So, using a longspear, an ogre can attack things 15 feet or 20 feet away, but not things that are 5 feet or 10 feet away. But what would happen if the ogre used a spiked chain instead of a longspear?
A) Would it be able to attack up to double it's normal reach, plus attack inside its' reach?
B) The spiked chain extends it's natural reach out to 15 feet and it can attack inside its' reach?
C) The spiked chain allows it to attack out to double its' normal reach, plus 5 feet closer to itself than normal?
The problem only gets worse if you look at a creature with 15 foot reach or more.
