Double Weapons and Trip Attacks

[KerlanRayne]

This is actually two questions.

1) Do you get the x1.5 damage with a double weapon? With a +4 Str modifier qould a quarterstaff be 1d6+4/1d6+2 or 1d6+6/1d6+2 or 1d6+6/1d6+4?

2) If you trip someone while they are casting a spell what kind of concentration check do they make?

1) You can use a quarterstaff (or any other doubleweapon) as a twohanded weapon (1.5 times strength bonus) or as a doubleweapon (one additional attack, strength bonus to main attacks, half strength bonus to offhand attacks)

2) Tough question... at least the concentration check for unusual movement...

Being tripped would count as "violent movement" IMO.
