[QUOTE="noretoc, post: 195789, member: 1276"] I would work it completley different. I would allow the monk to use the staff using his unarmed number of attacks. Each attack does normal str bonus damage. He could also flurry, gaining an extra attack but taking the -2 on all, again doing normal str damage. The reason is if you have house rules it as a monk weapon, it should like his unarmed attacks. He can make an attack with either end, just like he could attack with either hand or foot. If fact I would allow a first lvl monk with a staff to whack once with a staff, and kick once(if he was using flurry of blows.) If he used the staff two handed for the extra str bonus, then I would say he was not using it in according to his monk fighting stlye, and say that he had to use his armed attack bonus, and number of attacks. (thus getting the str X1.5). If the monk used the quaterstaff as a double weapon, instead of a monk weapon (assuming the same rule above, it being a monk weapon) would be just silly, as he would have to account for using two weapons.
