Maybe "Staff" isn't the right name, but F&D introduces a few new "variations on a theme", and it seems to me their differences are somewhat arbitrary. For example, the Electrostaff has Linked 1, but the Cortosis staff doesn't.
This came up in another thread:
http://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/124185-two-handed-staff/
...and I think it would be better if there were some consistency. The problem is Linked, which seems too easy.
Base for all staves:
Damage: +1
Crit: 5
HP: 0
Qualities: Staff
Cost: 100
The "Staff" quality provides Defensive 1, and allows the wielder to use the Two-Weapon Combat rules if they choose.
Other weapons would add to this base, with damage, lower crit value, hard points, and other qualities like Stun setting or Cortosis.
Thoughts?
