It's awesome if you're the PCs.
It's annoying if you're the GM.
My bad guys have gotten tired of being killed by enlarged, knuckle-dragging, raging barbarians and the word has spread - now all their spellcasters have enlarge and long arms prepared too...
Get Combine Extracts to drink them both as one 3rd lvl extract.

And now the real question is does all of this stack with the 'lunge' feat from Page 130 of the core rule book?
Lunge(combat)
Prerequisites: BAB +6
Benefit: You can increase the reach of your melee attacks by 5 feet until the end of your turn by taking a -2 penalty to your AC until your next turn. You must decide to use this ability before any attacks are made.
If so then with a little prep work you could have 20 feet of reach with just your arms and 25 feet of reach with a reach weapon, that would be frustrating.

Does anyone know if the alchemist/investigator could then create an infusion of that combined extract? Because that would be EXCELLENT for my reach paladin and her investigator ally.
