It's looking like I will be a treant via polymorph with a huge spiked chain tripping people up .

 

[Genesist]

If I were a huge character wielding a gargantuan spiked chain would my range be increased past a 30? I realize that there would be a -2 for improper sizing on my attack roll.

 

[StreamOfTheSky]

No. Using a bigger or smaller weapon does nothing to change your reach.

 

[Genesist]

I accept this as the ruling, but have to say that realistically, it doesn't make much sense. "I now have a 10 foot longer chain!... too bad I can't hit things with that last 10 feet."

 

[StreamOfTheSky]

You're turning into a giant living tree that hits things with a barbed chain and you're concerned with realism all of a sudden?

 

[Genesist]

This... is an extremely good point .
