I designed this weapon for my amaquen race, but it's useful for small races in general so I thought I'd post it separately. It's not a great weapon, falling somwhere between a club and a mace, but it gives small races a staff they can actually use.

Looks great. :D

(I think I've posted the exact same thing before somewhere.)

Probably. It's an obvious gap in the game, I wouldn't be surprised if it's turned up other places.

I like it, but all I did was slap the small property on to quarterstaff *shrugs* Its not an overpowering weapon.
Edit> Basically it gives small creatures a +1 damage compared to your weapon.

That works as well, and is mechanically simpler. I decided I wanted something that felt like a different weapon, so went with this approach.

This needs to happen for small wizards to use staves currently.
