Quarterstaffs don't work correctly.  They're supposed to be simple two-handed weapons, but the CB seems to be treating them as one-handed off-hand weapons.  When I buy a mundane quarterstaff, I'm given the option to equip it one-handed or two-handed.  The one-handed option shouldn't be there, since the quarterstaff is a two-handed weapon and thus MUST be equipped with two hands.  When I choose the two-handed option however, it still only equips the staff in my main hand.  Further, if I also buy a light shield (or any one-handed item), I can equip it in my main hand and the staff in my off hand.  However, the CB does still THINK it's a two-handed weapon, as it gives me stats for Wicked Strike (which requires a two-handed weapon) when I'm equipped with a shield in my main hand and a quarterstaff in my off hand. This also breaks the Staff Fighting feat, as it's impossible to equip the secondary end of the quarterstaff.  This prevents you from using Staff Fighting to gain the Tempest Fighter bonuses for wielding two weapons.  Somehow, it does NOT break the Hafted Defense feat.  You still get the shield bonus for wielding the quarterstaff two-handed even if you're only holding it in your off hand. I'm sure this has something to do with how Staff implements count as quarterstaffs, and how you only need one hand to wield a Staff implement.
