Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hypersmurf" data-source="post: 3614152" data-attributes="member: 1656">Strictly?  The Medium creature with a Large reach weapon is... wielding a reach weapon.  He threatens 10 feet, but not 5 feet.  The rules don't really cater for it with anything special.Savage Species had a set of rules, based on the 3E weapon size system; it's easy enough to update for 3.5.Once you do so, the Medium creature with the Large reach weapon threatens 15 feet, but not 10 or 5 (a Medium creature threatens 'one ring', and a Large reach weapon shifts that ring outwards by two).  A Large creature with a Medium reach weapon threatens 10 feet and 15 feet, but not 5 (a Large creature threatens 'two rings', and a Medium reach weapon shifts that ring outwards by one).You can see from this system how a Medium creature with a Medium reach weapon threatens 10 feet - one ring, outshifted one - and a Large creature with a Large reach weapon threatens 15 and 20 - two rings, outshifted two.A Small reach weapon shifts one, just like a Medium. A Tiny reach weapon doesn't shift at all for anyone with a reach of 5' or more, but as a special property, it permits creatures with a zero reach to threaten adjacent squares (but not their own).It's the system I personally favour for inappropriately-sized reach weapons... but in vanilla 3.5, a Medium creature threatens 10 feet with any reach weapon, and a Large creature gains no benefit from a Medium reach weapon.-Hyp.</blockquote>
