Improve the Quarterstaff

·180 words·1 min

Greetings.

Fancy a newbie weapon:

Object ‘quarterstaff staff quarter’, Item type: WEAPON

Item is: ENCHANTED

Weight: 1, Value: 5000gold, Worn in: TAKE WIELD TWO-HANDED

Damage Dice is ‘2D6’

Can affect you as:

Affects: HITROLL by 2

Affects: DAMROLL by 2

Only those who are at least adept magic users, clerics, or necromancers may

use this item.

  • it was 2d6 0 0 (got +2 +2 after enchant)

  • it doesn’t proc

  • it’s two handed

  • it’s noway near in dam to typical newbie weapons (single-handed 2d7 1 0, for example) or high dam of newbie items (3d5 1 1 axe or even 3d6 1 0 axe forge - or 3d7 3 0 holy sword ;) )

It also consists of 4 components that load in 30+ lev area. So what use is of this quarterstaff? Filler eq? Why have it at all?

I’d suggest to:

  • make this weapon single-handed

  • or increase dam to be worth it: 3d6-7 +2 +2, for example (useful in groups, when not using a shield)

  • or add +mr +5ma or something useful for casters to actually use

Thank you.
