That means they potentially threaten 36 squares including the 4 squares they occupy. It's been a problem ever since 3.5e standardized the space and reach of large size.Yes I know 5e doesn't have the Combat Reflexes feat, because that would really make large size even stronger. And that Enlarge/Reduce is a 2nd level spell, but since it's a spell it's something that can be turned off if being large is bringing too many other complications that one didn't consider.</blockquote>
