[RPG] Does the Primeval Guardian ranger’s reach increase stack with the Mystic’s Giant Growth discipline and a reach weapon

Say I am a 4th level Primeval Guardian Ranger, and 4th level Mystic.

The Glaive has the Reach property, which increases its reach by 5 feet.

The Primeval Guardian ranger gets the Guardian Soul feature, which has the following effects (among others):

  • Your size becomes Large, unless you were larger.
  • Your reach increases by 5 feet.

The mystic can learn the Giant Growth psionic discipline, which has the following benefits:

  • Psychic Focus: While focused on this discipline, your reach increases by 5 feet.

  • Ogre Form (costs 2 psi points; duration of concentration, up to a minute) has the following benefits, among others: Your reach increases by 5 feet. If you're smaller than Large, you also become Large for the duration.

Does this image accurately depict the overall reach?

I'm not sure if this is how it works, nut it seems like a lot of fun to mess around with if it stacks like this. Even if you can only move 5 feet per turn, having a reach of 20 feet is interesting.

This works, but your graphic is slightly inaccurate.

1 square of movement left, even if the square is diagonally adjacent to the square you’re in.

The variant rules on grid-based combat treat diagonal movement as equivalent to horizontal or vertical movement, which means a 25 foot reach would be shown as squares like so:

Otherwise, the effects of each of these do stack since they simply state that your reach is increasing by 5 (not that your reach is set to 10 feet). Therefore, your dreams of the out-ranging a 30-foot poll are only a bit further away (The Bugbear race or 3 levels in Way of the Four Elements Monk to be exact).
