Larger Weapons reach

Saladrex

First Post
I found that table that says the increase in damage for a weapon 1 category larger than its normal, but what are the changes in reach?
I mean, a normal whip would have 15' reach. What about a Huge whip? what will be its reach?

Thanks.

Reach Weapons: Glaives, guisarmes, lances, longspears, ranseurs, spiked chains, and whips are reach weapons. A reach weapon is a melee weapon that allows its wielder to strike at targets that aren’t adjacent to him or her. Most reach double the wielder’s natural reach, meaning that a typical Small or Medium wielder of such a weapon can attack a creature 10 feet away, but not a creature in an adjacent square. A typical Large character wielding a reach weapon of the appropriate size can attack a creature 15 or 20 feet away, but not adjacent creatures or creatures up to 10 feet away.
Since a normal reach weapon doubles the user's natural reach, I'd say a whip triples the user's natural reach.
 

Dancing Whip

Hmm, but I want to know the reach of a dancing Whip (like in that feathered token (whip) magical item.
It summons a dancing huge leather whip to fight for you. It fights with no wielder, so weapons should have a reach based on themselves only...

BTW, isn't that a powerful item for just 500 GP?

Thanks again.
