[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 4430256, member: 5889"] So I tried out my new reach fighter tonight. My DM let me upgrade the regular maul to a reach weapon by taking the superior weapon proficiency feat. I played a fighter who was all about the big damage. Overall, I got to use the reach a few times. Still, there were plenty of times were it was pointless. The biggest thing for me wasn't that my fighter class abilities wouldn't work at reach, I could except that. The biggest hit for me was that I couldn't even cleave at reach! I can hit the first target at reach, but the second target has to be adjacent to me. That's just...lame!!:) So far I think I could have gotten more bang for my buck by taking a different feat, but it fits the character so I'll stick with it. If it turns out not to work well, my DM might allow me a +1 or 2 to OA's with a reach weapon or something. I think that makes a lot of sense and would help to balance them out. But for now I'll continue as is and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
