[QUOTE="Andur, post: 4349026, member: 27898"] The ruling does not contradict the RAW. A Staff which is an implement does not have to be wielded as a melee weapon. It can be wielded as just an implement. Staff the implement is not a two handed implement, the only qualifier for staffs is that you must be a member of a class that can use a staff as an implement. As long as the halfling doesn't try to use the staff in melee, they can use it as an implement all day long, in fact RAW, regardless of size, a halfling could use a Colossus Staff as an implement without penalty (though I doubt they'll be moving around much), a halfling cannot use ANY staff as a weapon. Implement != weapon, each have specific rules for use. A Holy Symbol doesn't even need to be wielded, just held or worn. What you can't do with any Wizard or Warlock implement is hold one in your offhand and utilize its powers, you must actually wield it, which basically means you only get the benefit of one implement at a time.
