(5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

The "only" benefit to a Reach weapon in 5e (both 14 and 24 versions) is the reach itself (if you don't have the movement to get into melee by that one square) and that you qualify for the polearm master feat. That's it, as far as I can tell. There's no drawback, other than that there's a bit more "room" for opponents to move around within your reach without provoking an OA. (They only provoke when they LEAVE your reach, not when they mosey around inside it).
Yes. I've seen people argue that they want an unarmed strike vs people moving from the next square to a 10' range, which I've allowed.
