[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9689994, member: 4534"] "Of course he has a knife, he always has a knife, we [I]all [/I]have knives! It's 1183 and we're barbarians." -- Eleanor of Aquitaine [I]The Lion in Winter[/I]. I suppose this hits onto some worldbuilding. What's a weapon? It's very often defined by culture. When I go hiking, I often carry a folding knife with a locking blade of nearly 9 centimeters in length. Is it a weapon? I don't think so, but in some countries I'd be committing a crime. So it goes with the staff. You're probably not going to think of it as a weapon in the hands of most people. Why would you? It's commonly used by the infirm or those doing a lot of walking. In the original Greyhawk boxed set, it discusses the legality of carrying weapons. Knives and staves are pretty much freely and openly carried by anyone within the city. Swords are restricted to those who have paid some sort of yearly tax while still other weapons are illegal to carry, period. [/QUOTE]
