PFS looking for a reach weapon my oradin can use

[Sonea Evareska]

I'm about to finalize my oradin pc after our game tommorrow. It's going to be the usual paladin build with 4 dips in oracle for lifelink to be an hp battery for the heavy frontliners.

What I need advice with is: is there a way I can make this work while doing damage from the rear? Some sort of reach weapon build to trip/or threaten an area in front of casters? Archer is ok too, but it seems I need a lot of feats to be of any real use in the first half of my levels.

Need a race.

Fauchard is a reach weapon with trip and a really good threat range.

I think it's exotic, though.

Oh sorry, i was going for human. But I would also do halfelf.

There are tons of good reach weapons. Some of them have the disarm property, others have the trip property, but none, other than the whip, have both. However, you can trip with any weapon, not just those with the trip property. All a 'trip' weapon gives you is the ability to drop the weapon if you fail a trip attack by 10 or more, rather than being knocked prone. If you have a reach weapon, though, falling prone is less dire than if you're adjacent to a foe. Your best bet is to take one with the disarm property, and use it to trip and disarm.
