I still don't know what to think of this. It doesn't feel right to "penalize" a higher fighter by making him lose his AD bonuses if using a reach 2 or reach 3 weapon.

Perhaps we might decouple AD and Hit Locations ? In the sense that effects of reach only apply to Hit Locations, but AD modifiers are unaffected by it?
