<p>Updated alternate names list</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The &#039;&#039;&#039;quarterstaff&#039;&#039;&#039; is a basic weapon which consists primarily of a long length of wood. The quarterstaff requires two hands to hold, however, both ends of the staff can be utilized in order to deal damage to an opponent.[[Two-handed Weapons]], such as the quarterstaff, are weapons which require both hands to grasp, thus can not be used with a shield. The weapons which belong to this group resemble weapons from many of the other groups. However, there is a distinct difference in the sheer size and weight of these weapons. In general, two-handed weapons hit a great deal harder and do more damage than one-handed [[Edged Weapons|edged]] or [[Blunt Weapons|blunt weapons]]. The trade-off is less defense from the absence of a [[Shield|shield]].<br /> <br /> To be proficient with the quarterstaff it is strongly recommended that the user train in the [[Two-Handed Weapons|two-handed weapon]] skill.<br /> __NOTOC__<br /> ==Alternate Names==<br /> &lt;b&gt;<br /> *bo stick<br /> *staff<br /> *toyak<br /> *walking staff<br /> *warstaff<br /> *yoribo<br /> &lt;/b&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Game Mechanics==<br /> The quarterstaff does the least damage of the standard offensive two-handed weapons ([[Runestaff|runestaves]] are primarily used as defensive weapons). The advantages are its light weight and lower [[Roundtime|RT]] but most practitioners consider the quarterstaff less desirable than other two-handed weapons even with these advantages.<br /> <br /> The quarterstaff weapon profile and damage table also apply to [[short bow]]s, [[long bow]]s and [[composite bow]]s when they are used as melee weapons (right hand only). <br /> <br /> {{Weapon table start}}<br /> {{Weapon table quarterstaff}}<br /> {{Weapon table end}}<br /> <br /> The standard quarterstaff has a weight of 5 lbs.<br /> <br /> Note: To edit this table go to [[Template:Weapon table quarterstaff]]<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> *[[List of woods]]<br /> *[[Two-handed Weapons]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *[http://www.play.net/gs4/info/armory/twohanded.asp#QuarterStaff Official Documentation &gt;&gt; Quarterstaff]</div>
