Large Person / Large Weapon (Multiple Questions)


Rules Questions


Sorry for the more basic questions. I'm still relatively new to Pathfinder.

Scenario - I am a medium-sized human using a Great Axe. A party member uses Enlarge Person on me.

Links - Space/Reach - http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/combat/space-reach-threatened-area-te mplates
Enlarge Person - http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/e/enlarge-person

Various Questions:
Based on the space/reach link, there are two large options (Long and Tall). Based on the description of Enlarge Person, the 10 feet of natural reach make me think that I'd be considered tall. Is this correct?

Because of my assumption there, on the space/reach sheet, I would use the "Large (Tall)" grid for my attack layout, but I'd only use the green grid, as my Great Axe doens't have reach. Is this also correct?

If I were using a weapon with reach, like a Glaive, then I'd use the green and red grid for attacking enemies?

Thanks in advance for answering my silly questions!

Partly correct. With a reach weapon, you can't attack a creature inside your normal reach (within 10 feet of you, in this case). With a reach weapon, you would be able to attack a creature in any of the red squares, but not a creature in the green squares.

You should be careful using those diagrams - while helpful, D20PFSRD is not actually an official source. In this case they don't seem to have completely implemented the most "recent" rules change as described here.


Jeraa- Thanks for clarifying. That makes sense not being able to attack someone right next to me with a long weapon.

Ascalaphus - Thank you for the link. I will read it more in depth later. I'd imagine the diagram on D20 will suffice, as we play an extremely casual game, but I will discuss with the DM to make sure.
