Quarterstaff

A quarterstaff is a simple, long weapon that may be carried by a pilgrim, a trail warden, or a martial teacher's student. It may look like an ordinary walking aid, yet its origins need not be humble. Carefully worked wood, a repaired section, and a carved mark may reveal who made it and why its owner keeps it.

In combat, it relies on agility and requires both hands. Choosing a staff therefore depends on whether the hero also needs to hold a shield or another object. It offers an inexpensive, straightforward option for a first expedition. Judge its use as a support or to test an ordinary obstacle according to the circumstances; the staff itself grants no extra bonus to climbing or finding traps.

Attacks use Agility (AGI). The 2H designation means it uses both hands. The minimum is AGI4, and its catalog physical attack bonus (PATK) is +1. The price is 3 sp. A hero's total attack is then calculated from attributes and the applicable rules; the listed weapon bonus is not the entire final attack.
