Quarter staffs

Post by Eldaquen »

Just a thought but would you consider changing quarter staffs from a strength type weapon to a dex based weapon. Quarter staffs are not heavy, and it is in the finese of manipulating the staff that creates the force to do damage, not brute force.

Might open up some interesting builds if changed. Fighter/monk/wpn master dexter. Maybe someone would actually use a quarter staff. Since quarter staffs are more of a martial arts type weapon, perhaps expand the monk bonus attacks for unarmed and kamas to include the quarter staff as well.

It will, at the worst possible moment.

Don't think we can change that, would be interesting if we could - double str and finesse could pose interesting hybrid builds with dex for AC/AB and 1.5 STR for damage.

Not to mention that in PnP, quarterstaves can be used as double weapons as well as a traditional two-handed weapon. I have no idea how that would work in nwn, it would probably involve haks, but the option to do so would be kind of cool.

Pretty sure finesse is hard-coded to 2da row in baseitems. NWN2...don't remember if that changed or not.
