[QUOTE="frankthedm, post: 3611884, member: 1164"] [IMaGel]http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/4189/reachingrj0.png[/IMaGel]"For instance" is used to lead into the example of what / who the text applies to. It makes perfect sence why 10' reach gets such exceptions. If it did not get that exception, a medium creature with a longspear could never attack diagonally. The wording even syncs up with the wording for creatures with reach. [url=http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1296/instancesexamplejt4.png][IMG]http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1296/instancesexamplejt4.th.png[/IMG][/url] Which leads to the DMG quote that fully explains how reach interacts with the 2 for one counting system. [IMG]http://www.enworld.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=28649[/IMG] [url]http://www.enworld.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=28649[/url] Which matches perfectly up with the examples given in the back of the DMG which the following image is painstakingly faithful to.
