Thanks to everyone with their help on the boomerang. With the boomerang finally finished I thought I would try another weapon. Thanks for any help on this one as well.

Superior Melee Double-Weapon

Longstaff
Prof.: +2
Damage: 1d6/1d6
Range: --
Price: 15gp
Weight: 6lbs.
Group: Staff
Properties: Defensive, off-hand

As its name implies the longstaff is a longer version of the quarterstaff. The extra length makes the weapon much more difficult to use but those skilled in its use are better able to protect themselves from multiple attackers when fighting cautiously.

If you are proficient with the longstaff and are employing the total defense combat maneuver you cannot be flanked for the rest of the round.

Characters proficient with the longstaff can consider it a quarterstaff for the purpose of feats or powers.

Meh, it really seems lack luster for a superior weapon. Feels more like a military one.

I would make these changes to make it a superior weapon.

Damage: 1D8/1D6
Properties: Defending, Brutal 1, Off-Hand
Special: When only using one side of this weapon you have reach 2

That would make it on par with some of the other weapons that require superior weapon training, or maybe a little better than some... Opinions?
