	Quarter staff weapons generally include anything about man-height that is pole-shaped and used to bludgeon your opponent. Some can strike from pole range, while others are confined to melee. Most of them take two hands to wield and require a {{ilink\|i\|weapon strap}} or other special container considerations to tote.		'''Quarter staff [[page type is::skill]]''' weapons generally include anything about man-height that is pole-shaped and used to bludgeon your opponent. Some can strike from pole range, while others are confined to melee. Most of them take two hands to wield and require a {{ilink\|i\|weapon strap}} or other special container considerations to tote.

	Most of these weapons are heavy, ranging between 10 and 80 stones, and do moderate to severe impact damage as well as moderate puncture damage. The balance and suitability for strength of wooden staves are generally average, as is their construction. Their metal counterparts, however, can be considered excellent blunt weapons for agility-based characters. The advent of [[Weaponsmithing\|Weaponsmithing]] has greatly improved the stats of these once-overlooked weapons and now made them a formidable weapon choice.
