My next PFS character is probably going to be a Dwarven Tortured Crusader (Paladin). I really want it to be a reach based build & Im trying to work out the best way to incorporate the above. (which is Wis based Combat Reflexes but you have to use a Warhammer for those who don't know).
Im looking at 18/12/14/10/15/5 after racial mods.
Obviously a warhammer doesn't have reach. What Im looking for is the best way around this?
Is there some way I can make a Dwarven Longhammer (or other reach weapon) count as a warhammer or similar?
Would a Large Warhammer have reach?
The best I've come up with is a Bloodrager dip to get LongArm & Enlarge Person onto my spell list and then use wands. This also has the bonus of getting my movement speed up to 30 - even in heavy armour and, of course, Bloodrage both of which I admit to being partial to.

Fast movement doesn't work with heavy armor.
I was thinking about the growth domain, but the only way to get the growth domain with torag is a level of druid with the goliath druid archtype. The advantage of growth domain is that it's a swift action activate to enlarge.
Swordmaster's flair looks like a good alternative.
If you are willing to take a 4 level dip into bloodrager, you can get reach from the aberrant bloodline or instant growth with the abyssal bloodline.

Swordmaster's Flair only works with one handed piercing weapons so that's off the table.
Lunge will only improve your reach on your turn so won't help in generating AoO.
You will probably be best served by potions of enlarge person. Ideally consumed as a move action with the help of the fast Drinker trait.
