Where do you get that from?

You know what? I have no idea. I could have sworn there was a rule that a character got reach only from reach weapons of his size; but I can't find it. I blame radioactive decay in my neurons.

You know what? I have no idea. I could have sworn there was a rule that a character got reach only from reach weapons of his size; but I can't find it. I blame radioactive decay in my neurons.

There is a rule that goes the other way; Large benefit from reach weapons of "appropriate size."

However, that's really the only mention in the rules of mixing reach weapon size and reach weapon wielder size. I thought maybe I'd missed something.

Reach Weapons: Glaives, guisarmes, lances, longspears, ranseurs, spiked chains, and whips are reach weapons. A reach weapon is a melee weapon that allows its wielder to strike at targets that aren’t adjacent to him or her. Most reach double the wielder’s natural reach, meaning that a typical Small or Medium wielder of such a weapon can attack a creature 10 feet away, but not a creature in an adjacent square. A typical Large character wielding a reach weapon of the appropriate size can attack a creature 15 or 20 feet away, but not adjacent creatures or creatures up to 10 feet away.
