DDI Character Builder: sorcerers with staves?

[Jarrod]

A very quick question. Sorcerers use staffs (staves...) as implements correct? When I create a sorcerer in the Character Builder and equip him with a staff I don't see any mention of the item in the power cards. Daggers work fine.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Are you equipping a staff off the Weapons category, or off the Implements? I understand there seems to be a difference between the two.

This has come up before. I believe the answer was that the "staff as implement" and "staff as weapon" are two separate items in the character builder. I will have to go look.

They are indeed different.

For one thing, you can wield a staff one handed when used as an implement...

Something odd is indeed going on. I've got a one-handed staff, and from within the CB it's being picked up. However, the generated character sheet doesn't have it. So it's just the character sheet.
