Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hof" data-source="post: 2177480" data-attributes="member: 653">Hello all.Earlier my gaming group was having a discussion regarding weapon size and reach. As I understand it, reach relies on the size of the wielder. An ogre attacking with a longsword has 10 foot reach. Reach weapons for larger creatures double this normal reach. All simple and understandable.One of our group plays a goliath wielding a large greatsword. (I'm aware that he might not be allowed to do so on account of powerful build oddness, but that is not the issue here.) He thinks he should be entitled to the reach of a large creature merely because he is wielding a large weapon. Wrong of course: even if the powerful build ability itself did not state that his reach hadn't changed, reach is dependant on the wielders actual size.So.. What if he were to wield a large-size longspear (assuming he may, bear with me). His reach would be 5-10ft. yes? Because his reach is dependant on his own (5ft.) and the fact that he is using a reach weapon.Now what of the ogre who wields a medium-sized longspear? He is wielding a reach weapon, so 10-20 ft.? With a tiny spear? And what of the two-weapon fighting Titan ranger, who uses a huge warhammer (reach 0-15 ft.) in his primary hand and a medium sized longspear (reach 15-30ft.) as a light weapon in his off-hand.Rediculous examples, I know... But did I break or misinterpret the rules?Hof.</blockquote>
