Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 292039" data-attributes="member: 114">Hopefully not throwing petrol on the bonfire, but...I notice that the spell specifically affects a club or *unshod* quarterstaff.Does anyone make any distinction between shod and unshod quarterstaffs? I've not noticed it.One might presume that masterwork quarterstaffs are shod with metal heads, explaining the cost, and thus enchanted quarterstaffs have two metal heads which are enchanted separately. Thus shillelagh can't be cast on enchanted (shod/masterwork) quarterstaffs... but what is to stop someone simply enchanting the wood? it would have less hit points and hardness, but otherwise... I don't recall seeing anything that clearly answers this question.To my mind, there is one fundamental distinction between the basic quarterstaff and all the other "double weapons" - the unshod quarterstaff is simply one piece of wood, while the others all *require* separately worked ends.In my games, I allow shillelagh to provide someone with a double weapon. The worst case scenarion that I can envisage so far is a really strong Druid1/Barb19 who has all the two-weapon fighting feats and rages like mad... and I think it is a cool image, especially that it would only be for a minute - basically one fight.Most druids won't get the double weapon benefit because they have more important feats than ambidexterity and two weapon fighting, and don't have the armour to regularly get involved in face to face combat.Cheers</blockquote>
