Two Handed Bludgeoning Reach weapon!?

[DM_Matt]

All neat ideas, but he specifically is looking for a quarterstaff weapon with Reach, like a polearm, so he cannot attack adjacent enemies (unless he takes feats that go around that). Nothing with hammers attached or maces or whatever. Just a really long staff, basically.

How is that supposed to work? How can a big stick only strike at range but not closer?

Take a 20ft pole. People have been fighting with these things...

But are people unable to also strike people closer than the end? Thats what I was wondering about, not whether its possible weild a very long stick.

I just found the reference to my earlier recommendation for longstaff - it was in the Dragon Compendium vol I. Unfortanately it doesn't have reach. Still an exotic weapon that prevents flanking if you fight defensively or use Cbt Expertise for 2+ points.
