Ectoplasm Sorcerer with Amulet of the Blooded (Aberrant)

[shaxberd]

The Amulet of the Blooded (Aberrant) can increase the reach of melee touch attacks by 5 feet. The 3rd-level Ectoplasm bloodline power does the same thing. As such, would the two effects complement each other to provide a reach of 15 feet for melee touch attacks? I'm just not sure if the two effects would stack or not. Thanks.

Amulet of the Blooded (Aberrant): This chunk of pitch-black onyx is suspended on a chain of silver. Strange whorls and tentacle-like shapes are etched upon its surface. The wearer gains a 25% chance to negate any critical hit or sneak attack (as the light fortification armor special ability). When making a melee touch attack, the wearer's reach increases by 5 feet. Moderate illusion; CL 9th; Craft Wondrous Item, blur, enlarge person.

Ectoplasmic Reach (Su): At 3rd level, you can exude small tendrils of ectoplasm that can be used to make melee touch attacks as part of a spell with a range of touch. You can make melee touch attacks as if you had an additional 5 feet of reach. You must have a free hand with which to direct the ectoplasm.

That'd be a good question. I don't know that I've ever seen stacking rules for reach like that, except that the natural reach increase of a large creature does stack with a reach weapon.

I'd say it's reasonable, the item isn't cheap enough for low levels where it would matter as much, the ectoplasm archetype is based around touch spells with reach anyways. Yeah it'll increase your range, but the difference becomes less and less as the archetype improves your reach over time. I don't know of anything RAW that prevents this and I don't see much balance conflict.

Coolness. That's what I was thinking. And I didn't know about the pliant gloves. Thanks.
