I am playing a halfling titan mauler for an upcoming Skull & Shackles game and was debating about which combat maneuver feat I wanted to take, when it occurred to me:
At 5th level, as a swift action, a titan mauler may choose one creature within her line of sight. Until the end of her turn, that target’s reach is treated as if it were 5 feet shorter with respect to reaching the titan mauler, and this reduction increases by 5 feet for every five levels beyond 5th.
Does this mean that I can designate a medium target (using a non-reach weapon of course) at 5th level and perform any combat maneuver against them and avoid an attack of opportunity since they would have an effective 0 reach?
mind=blown.
It seems legit to me.
edit: If you are going to use combat manuevers it might be worth it to invest in the feats anyway since the bonuses will come in handy later.

The main benefit to this as a function of the archetype is that as a non-human barbarian I am pretty feat starved. Just having the option to make use of a wide variety of situationally beneficial combat maneuvers is pretty cool.
It also means I can take lucky halfling instead to fit with my superstitious sailor barbarian.
