[QUOTE="Khaalis, post: 4199576, member: 2167"] I have a gut feeling that since the spiked chain is still around, that the double weapons will stick around (though I too am not a fan of most) but as Superior Weapons. I think that any double weapon will allow you to use the weapon for any "two weapon melee" power that you have unless they have powers specifically designed for certain combos (such as rapier and dagger). We already know that weapon type has some importance, such as feats specific to weapon types. In this way I think most weapons can or will get some love, allowing you to do tricks that are weapon specific. I do hope that the quarterstaff is one of these. An example of this was from the [url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drdd/20070820a]Power Source[/url] Design & Development article, is where they say: [color=orange]"A skilled halberdier can hack a foe with his weapon’s blade and spin around to smash a second foe with the haft.
