Extend Reach

Transmutation
Level: Brd 2, Clr 2, Pal 2, Rgr 2, Sor/Wiz 2

Extend reach increases the target's reach by 5' for 1 minute per caster lvl.

The transmuted creature becomes more adept at making attacks with 5' more reach. The spell grants a +5 ft reach bonus to all attacks and other uses of reach (grabbing a ledge 5' out of their normal reach). Sorcerers and bards (and other spellcasters) affected by this spell can also deliver a touch attack from an additional 5' away.

Arcane Material Component

A few hairs or the nail of an animal with a minimum of a ten foot reach.

A side effect of the spell provides the target with a +5 on all pickpocket attempts. This spell was originally developed as a negation to the old deep pockets spells of yore. Though such spells have fallen out of fashion, the ability to improve one's chances at pickpocketing remains an important arcane spell.
