Continuing a tangent that accurred to me in the Powerful build thread. Does a reach weapon ever cease being a reach weapon in a creatures hands?
Every reach weapon in the core rules is a twohanded weapon signifying its large size to extend the area threated around a character. But a weapon that is one or two sizes smaller than the character becomes one or two stages easier to use, with each size change incurring a -2 penalty to hit.
Is there a statement somewhere that a creature must be using a weapon of its own size to get reach from the weapon?
A medium creature with a small longspear can use it one handed, or even use a tiny longspear as a light weapon.
Will rogues of the future run around dual wielding tiny spears with finesse and poking from 10' away?
Although a dwarf using a gnome glaive as a battle axe that is -2 to hit for 10' reach actually sounds interesting.
