I know that many (including myself, and the character creator) considered a staff implement to be usable as a 1-Handed item when used as an implement, even if it might require 2 hands to use it as a weapon. However, there is a little quote in Eberron that caught my eye.
Is it unable to be embedded because it is also a 2-handed weapon, or does this imply that it should be used as a 2-handed implement afterall? If so, then does that mean that a staff as at a disadvantage compared to 1-handed implements, when you consider Dual Implement Mastery?
I wasn't sure if I should have added this to the current discussion regarding whether or not a Quarterstaff is an Implement, however since this is really a different issue (though it's 1-handed / 2-handed status was a subject of debate in the other topic).
Eberron's Player's Guide p. 113 said:Two-Handed Implements, such as staffs, cannot be attached or embedded.
