is reach one of those times when you decide the order of stacking?

example: human. the human gets the aberrant reach feat and deformation (tall). is he considered a large creature with 15' reach? and if you add expansion onto that, does he get 25' or 30' reach? and with a reach weapon?

I don't plan on actually using this in a game, but I'd like this to be cleared up.

Expansion and Enlarge Person explicitly disqualify you from Deformity(Tall)

Deformity(Tall)'s reach is a flat bonus, and so is Inhuman Reach.

Reading the entry for Inhuman Reach, you'll find reminder text that reminds us that a reach weapon doubles your existing reach. Since the reach granted by both feats is mechanically identical for a medium creature, you'd have 30ft of reach when using both and a reach weapon. Also, note, that you can't attack creatures who are 15ft or less away with that reach weapon. Essentially, a reach weapon's threat range starts where a non-reach weapon's threat range ends, with no overlap.

A Large creature would have the same numbers, since being large takes the place of having Deformity(Tall).
