According to SRD, quarterstaffs (and other so-called 'double weapons') can be used in three ways:

• In one hand
• In both hands, with additional strength bonus for 2h weapons
• In both hands, attacking with both ends (as if wielding two weapons)

Currently on FK, they can only be wielded in both hands with the additional strength bonus. It would be nice to at least have the option for one-handed wielding as well, assuming this can be changed easily for all 'quarterstaff' weapons.

For the third option, perhaps there could be a combatmode option for using a double weapon to make two attacks? I imagine this would be a bit more work to implement.

We do not have the monkey grip feat, which is the only way you can use a two-handed weapon in one hand.

That's true, I misread that bit of the SRD (it's referring to small-sized staffs). So scratch that.

But it would still be nice to have the double weapon bit.

Agreed, but it looks like something that would take a significant amount of coding to add.
