Any Ideas for a Quarterstaff Fighting PC

[Red_Spyral]

I am writing a sourcebook on fighting styles and what-not. One of the new fighting styles is called Staffy Mastery and It includes feats for fighting with staffs. I have feats like Master Staff Fighter- grants you a bonus to your staff attacks, and thigns likes that. You may want to use a Craft skill to make your own staffs (bashing stick, dagger staff, etc...) Hope I helped.

Oh yeah. Duh. Master of Arms has a bo/quarterstaff master prestige class. (As well as masters for every other concievable weapon and style)

I wrote one up last year... you can find it here: www.geocities.com/mistmane/3E/prc/decastave.html. It might need a bit of revising, but it's got all the stuff listed earlier.

Master of Arms. The Staff Master has some really cool feats, like being able to trip two enemies in one turn, as long as they're flanking you.

Hey

The Quintessential Fighter has a fighting style based on the quarterstaff. Fighting styles are a cross between feats and class abilities, and could probably be combined easily into a feat chain.

Thanks

Simple Fighter (or Ranger) works well enough for you. The Two-Weapon Fighting feat chain is nearly essential, but Power Attack is also a strong feat-- remember, you can use the staff as a two-handed weapon, too.

Two-Weapon Defense is also good, though I don't know how well it would work with a double weapon. Deflect Arrows was a good suggestion. Weapon Focus and Specialization are a good idea, since the extra attack bonus offsets TWF penalties and the extra damage applies to both ends.

If you're going to take a PrC, take the generic Weapon Master. It's easily usable for the Quarterstaff, and its abilities mirror a lot of what people are suggesting.
