It occurred to me that, because Small creatures can't use two-handed weapons, a halfling wizard with a staff would not be able to use it as a weapon. What would be the downsides to houseruling that a staff is a versatile weapon? One clear upside I see is that wizards could go all Gandalf on people with a sword in one hand and a staff in another, but that may be blinding me to some obvious game breakage that will occur if I dare tread this road.

I just told my halfling wizard he could cut a foot off and use it. A quarterstaff is comparable in all ways to a mace so its not really gamebreaking at all.
