[QUOTE="Wyvernhand, post: 5684310, member: 97681"] Where would you rather he place his feats? Skill Focus: Handle Animal? Feats are supposed to make you better at stuff. Thats why they exist. Complaining that a character is better because they took feats is like complaining that a wizard is strong because most days he actually prepares spells instead of leaving the slots empty. Getting big and controlling the battlefield is one of the most useful things a melee character can do. Its one of the VERY few ways to "tank" in D&D. Trip, Knockback, or Standstill anything that attempts to move past you to engage those folks you are supposed to be protecting. Working as intended. Also, HoboGod, the relevent text is "appropriate size". The weapon is either approriately sized, or not. If its appropriately sized, the character gains reach (and thus doubles their natural reach). There are not "degrees of reach", just the presence or absense of it. If the weapon is NOT appropriately sized, they don't. Bianary. On, or off. Period. [/QUOTE]
