Could I get some help figuring which of the following, if any, stack?
1. Reach Weapon
2. Arm Extension
3. Growth Glands
4. Lunge
5. Grasping Tentacle
Also, are there other sources of reach I'm missing?

Assuming medium-sized, 5-foot "natural" reach:
Start with Arm Extensions, changing your natural reach *to* 10 feet.
Growth Glands then increase your natural reach to 15 feet ("your size increases by one size category. If you become Large or larger, your reach increases by 5 feet")
Grasping Tentacle increases your new natural reach to 20 feet ("Your reach with your grasping tentacle is 5 feet more than your natural reach")
The rules for Reach Weapons seem (to me) to increase that again to 25 feet (but it's a lengthy section that IMO could be better worded)
And then Lunge increases that to 30 feet ("You can increase the reach of your melee attacks by 5 feet")
Most increases to reach are simply cumulative effects. Just pay attention to the language used. If something else matched the wording of Arms Extensions, for example, the two wouldn't stack, because they both *replace* your natural reach, rather than *increase* it.
Arm extensions definitely stacks with the others, though it sets your natural reach to 10 ft, so it might counteract growth glands?
I think lunge is supposed to stack with reach. It should probably stack with grasping tentacle. I'm not sure if it's possible to add reach to the grasping tentacle at all, so I'm unsure on having all three.
Growth glands are the only one I'm unsure about.
Thanks guys! I was pretty confident on them, but you never know if there's something I missed.
I really like the idea of this soldier in my party walking into the middle of the room and letting the party pick the targets they want to Coordinated Shot or flank.
