[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5150381, member: 35909"] PF has the Lunge feat, so I don't see why Short Haft couldn't work. Short Haft was so ridiculously tame I basically turned it into a weapon property in my 3.5 houserules -- "variable grip" weapons can be switched between reach and regular melee range with a swift action. We had our own create-a-weapon system with values for everthing, but it was basically worth the same as a tripping property or +2 disarm. That is, on top of the "cost" of having reach to begin with, the ability to switch to non-reach was worth about a much as that, maybe slightly less. And of course, there was the Arrow Mind spell. I loved that spell, PF should have it. :) In the gestalt game i was DMing, I made one of the enemy NPCs a gestalt Ranger / (Fighter or Warblade, I forget). He pre-buffed with Arrow Mind and could use the Wall of Blades counter maneuver with his bow while so buffed. Wall of Blades, if you don't know, is an immediate reaction ability to parry an attack with a melee attack, replacing your AC with your attack roll. Except he was using point blank arrow shots to deflect or hinder enemy strikes. It was pretty cool thematically. [/QUOTE]
