Other charicters though might find the phb one more attractive though. It really is up how many times will you need to attack within 5 feet and then within 10 feet.something that could sway how i feel about the matter is, if you switch from reach to no reach, does that last the whole round, or is the switch only on your turn and thus goes back to normal reach when its not your turn?I find the need to attack adjacent, really only when someone trys a trip or grapple without the improved feats to do so, and if its not your turn you cant attack with your reach weapon. Normaly reach weapons are not a problem, and can 5 step the entire time just like a archer. attacking ajacent can also be fixed with 1 monk level, a guantlit, a spiked guantlit, or spiked armor.</blockquote>
