Reach in Ironclad Bulwark powered armor


Rules Questions


Possibly a dumb question but...

The generic description for powered armor is a little confusing to me. It says powered armor provides a listed reach, then says you add that reach to your weapons.

“Powered armor with a reach greater than 5 feet allows you to attack creatures within that range in melee even if they aren’t adjacent to you. Add the reach of the powered armor to the reach of any weapons you wield using the powered armor.”

If I’m in a suit of Ironclad Bulwark powered armor, which specifies a reach of 5’, and I’m wielding a large melee weapon, what’s my reach? 5’, as specified by the armor? 10’, for a large creature wielding a melee weapon, or 15’? (I can’t see how it would be the last but may as well put it out as an option.)

HeroLab is calculating the reach as 10’, but I realize it wouldn’t be the first time there was an error.

Thanks!


Sounds like 5' total, normal melee range. If you were using a reach weapon, you would add 5' to the armor's reach of 5'.


Agreed. The armor's reach is 5 feet, regardless of it being Large. So you'd have a reach of 5 feet with a non-reach weapon.


Thanks both!
