A '''quarterstaff''' is an inexpensive, two-handed striking [[Draft:Weapon|weapon]]. Its combination of accuracy and striking damage can be useful early, but its weight and occupation of both hands are real costs. It is a melee weapon, not an activatable magical staff.<ref>{{Source|iinit.h|210}}; {{Source|item.c|536|552}}.</ref><br />

== Generation ==<br />
[[Draft:Julie's Armor of Proof and Weapons of Quality|Julie's]] sells a fully identified, uncursed +0 quarterstaff for '''60 Au'''. Ordinary random treasure, [[Draft:Knight's Pawn Shop|pawn-shop stock]] and [[Draft:Scroll of acquirement|acquirement]] are other sources. It has item level 1, with random blessing and enchantment determined separately from its familiar name.<ref>{{Source|site1.c|164|231}}; {{Source|aux2.c|522|535}}; {{Source|item.c|7|41}}; {{Source|item.c|188|204}}; {{Source|site1.c|1022|1053}}; {{Source|effect1.c|647|728}}.</ref><br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
Both weapon hand and ready hand must hold the quarterstaff before its wielded bonuses apply. A shield can still occupy the separate shield slot and contribute defense. Packing the staff or exchanging it for another item clears both hand references to that one weapon; the two occupied slots do not represent extra copies.<ref>{{Source|inv.c|1297|1452}}; {{Source|inv.c|1536|1580}}; {{Source|aux1.c|315|339}}.</ref><br />
<br />
Its usual attack is a Strength-assisted strike; it can also lunge. It does not grant bonus maneuvers or a special staff-defense modifier. Its high weapon hit helps attacks, while defense comes from the character's [[Draft:Melee attacks|chosen maneuvers]] and equipment rules. Its damage remains physical.<ref>{{Source|aux2.c|636|725}}; {{Source|aux3.c|1168|1181}}; {{Source|aux1.c|281|350}}; {{Source|itemf2.c|359|365}}.</ref><br />
<br />
It can tunnel without a weapon-damage attempt on a normal tunneling mishap, or be thrown under ordinary throwing rules. The staff does not gain magical charges, and charging or activating a magical stick is a different operation.<ref>{{Source|command3.c|865|933}}; {{Source|command3.c|223|310}}; {{Source|itemf1.c|544|564}}.</ref><br />
<br />
== Strategy ==<br />
Against an equally enchanted [[Draft:Club|club]], the staff adds two points of accuracy and three damage points, but weighs 50 more, needs both hands and costs 50 Au more at Julie's. A [[Draft:Mace|mace]] trades four of the staff's points of accuracy for three more damage points and frees the ready hand while reducing weight. These are different strengths, not a single upgrade ladder.<ref>{{Source|iinit.h|200|210}}; {{Source|aux2.c|522|535}}.</ref><br />
<br />
A character who values accuracy with a Strength-assisted strike may find the staff useful. Check total carried weight before buying it: its 80 weight is more than a great-sword's 75, despite the staff's modest price and damage. Carrying it in just one hand does not provide a compromise between those costs and full wielded bonuses.<ref>{{Source|iinit.h|184}}; {{Source|aux1.c|281|309}}; {{Source|inv.c|1536|1580}}.</ref><br />
