Quarterstaff

A quarterstaff (plural quarterstaves) is a simple, two-handed melee weapon that may be used as a double weapon.

Description
Six to eight feet (1.8 to 2.4 meters) long for a human-sized creature, a quarterstaff is usually made of wood and sanded cylindrical with a diameter of 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10cm), with blunt ends. They may be plain wood to intricately carved works of art. The basic quarterstaff can be enhanced with metal-shod ends or textured striking surfaces which increase weight and/or cost. A typical quarterstaff weighs 4lbs (1.8kg) and costs nothing because it can be easily made with little skill. Metal enhancements will likely cost extra.

Weaponology
The quarterstaff is one of the simplest weapons available to any adventurer. Favored among martial artists, monks, and some rangers, the quarterstaff may be used as a double weapon. Wizards often use enchanted quarterstaves to channel arcane energy and as a mundane walking-stick.
