Charging\Pouncing with multiple reach

[Qayinisorouse]

Hey guys,
if i have an Eidolon with 5 attacks (4 claws 1 bite), with one Claw having the the Reach evolution - ill have four(4) attacks with a reach of 5feet and one(1) with a reach of 10feet.

When i pounce and enemy, can i pounce all the way to him, which will allow me to use all 5 attacks? or must i stop as soon as i am able to attack him (with my 10 reach claw)?

thank you!

You can get within 5 feet and then take all your attacks.

Ask you GM but by strict RAW the closed space you can attack is the 10 ft reach attack.

[Qayinisorouse]

Thank you both.

so you're saying i can't choose, and MUST stop as soon as i can attack?

[James Risner]

Yes I'm not aware of a rules base answer that allows closing to be base to base.

DM's call on that one. I'd allow it.

@BigNorseWolf, thank you for your input, he is pretty strict, i want to see if i have a valid point before i raise the issue.

If you are correct that REALLY lowers the attractiveness of the Reach evolution for a Quad Eidolon, i either have to have Reach on ALL my attacks or on none of them.

If that is the case and no one makes a counter argument, what about this workaround:
Since i have the Lunge feat, can i simply Charge, stop at 10 Feet distance (As you say, i must), THEN i activate Lunge ("You must decide to use this ability before any attacks are made") and add 5 feet to my attacks - that will change my attacks to 10feet (with 1 being 15), and then I'll attack.

Your opinion?

[James Risner]

100% should be able to Lunge.
