Is this a typo on line - Reach 10ft?
I don't have access to the book, other weapons just say Reach, but this says Reach 10 ft and I'm wondering what the book actually says?
I'm not asking if its right or wrong just what is printed in the Lost Omens Character Guide on Page 92?

Fauchard
Source Lost Omens Character Guide pg. 92
Price 1 gp, 4 sp; Damage 1d8 S; Bulk 2 Hands 2
Group Polearm; Traits Deadly d8, Reach 10 ft., Sweep, Trip
A fauchard is similar to a glaive, save that its cutting edge is along the concave side. Fauchards are favored by Crimson Reclaimers for hacking through waves of zombies. The fauchard is a martial melee weapon.
The book has the item formated slightly differently than the website, but yes is it basically the same text:
Fauchard Item 0
-------------------
Price 14 sp; Damage 1d8 S; Bulk 2; Hands 2; Group polearm; Traits deadly d8, sweep, reach 10 feet, trip

<description text>I think it's just the author trying to make it clear that the reach is 10 feet despite the weapon not showing up on a table like the weapons in the core book, rather than the text meaning that this weapon's total reach is 10 feet greater than a non-reach weapon.
Thank you for checking :)
I wonder why they felt the need to spell out Reach like that?
Maybe the authors too have to get rid of some PF1 habits. In PF1, reach would always spell out the reach in foot since some weapons (whip) had reach 15ft. :)
Yeah, probably a hold over from writing for PF1.
The reach quality didn't exist or have a defined effect like it does in PF2, so you just had to state the reach of weapons.
Yep - One for the Type-O list i think :)
