Looking for a feat

[tankiller]

I have a Goliath barbarian and my DM has said no racial sub levels. So I was wondering is there a feat in 3.5 that gives you a 10ft reach with a weapon that normally only gives a 5ft reach like that of a large size creature?

 

[Dandu]

No, but I do have an alternate way of doing this that involves levels of Psychic Warrior.

I don't know any...but there are some nice feats in PH2 regarding reach weapons, and then there is always the infamous spiked chain.

wand of enlarge?

There is a ToB stance (Iron Heart if I remember rightly) that gives you +5' reach (which would also increase the range of a spiked chain or reach weapon) during your own turn. Can't remember the name. Sorry for the poor response...my brain seems to be full today.

Lunging Strike is a feat from PHB2, requires a +6 BAB, and lets you make one attack with 5 feet of extra reach each round. A bit more to it than that, but I won't elaborate since it's not OGC.

Pathfinder has a similar Lunge feat in its core rules, IIRC, and as others mentioned, the Tome of Battle has a Stance that gives you +5 feet of reach on your turn (but not on other turns, so it doesn't help with attacks of opportunity). Dancing Blade Form, requires 2 other Iron Heart maneuvers and/or stances, so if you wanted to take it without Warblade levels, you'd need to first take 1 or 2 copies of the Martial Study feat for Iron Heart maneuvers, then a copy of the Martial Stance feat for Dancing Blade Form. And since your initiator level is only half your actual character level when you're not a martial adept, you'd have to wait quite a while to qualify for those particular copies of the feats (18th-level for Martial Stance - Dancing Blade Form). A few levels of Warblade would hasten and cheapen access to them, of course.

Dancing Blade Form, level 5 stance, requires 2 Iron Heat Maneuvers to qualify. Grants a +5 reach to melee attacks made on your turn (so no reach for A..'s.
Great if you're making a Warblade, tough to acquire if your not. 2 Martial Study feats and 1 Martial Stance feat to do it. Could be awesome if you really like the 2 Maneuvers you get from the martial study feats.

I'd tackle the issue the other way round... carry a reach weapon plus armor spikes, and you're set. If you want to make sure you can power attack, carry a reach weapon and take the Short Haft feat, but in my book that's a waste of a perfectly fine feat slot.

EDIT: there's also the excellent Inhuman Reach feat (requires a largely useless feat to qualify) in Lords of Madness, which increases your natural (!) reach by 5', in exchange for a slight to-hit penalty.
