Quarterstaves are a class of two-handed melee weapon that fall under the Quarterstaff weapon proficiency in all games except for classic Baldur's Gate, in which they shared the Blunt Weapons category with War Hammers, Clubs, and Maces. They can be used by any character class with the exception of Monks. The basic Quarterstaff has a range of 2ft, deals 1d6 crushing damage with a speed factor of 4 and requires a Strength of 5 to use.

Bugs[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 The item description incorrectly states +10 extra damage vs. golems. However, this is not applied to the item file.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 In the original BGII: ToB the item description states an additional 1d4 piercing damage. However, this is not applied to the item file, the staff deals only 1d6 +12 crushing damage. This has been fixed in the Enhanced Edition.
