[QUOTE="Ranger REG, post: 195855, member: 533"] In the hands of a monk, yes. Instead of using the double weapon's two-weapon fighting ability, apply the Flurry of Blows to one end of the quarterstaff. Why not? The combat itself is abstract, but you would add entertainment by describing your actions. Hmm. It is probably because the game designers in the beginning do not want to add this confusion we are already discussing right now. Apparently, they approve the new modification for the [i]Oriental Adventures[/i] monk class. I can only tell what I am leaning toward, which is this: If you are using just one end of a Large quarterstaff, then treat it as a two-handed weapon and apply the x1.5 Str bonus to all attacks, including the Flurry of Blows' extra attack (should it successful hit). In the end, it's totally up to you. Playtest it before you decide to officially implement the house rule into your campaign. [/QUOTE]
