Quarterstaff Feats

[Vhaidara]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's wanted to make a staff focused character. I already have my class base and race set, but I'm looking for feats. So far, I've found...
Quarterstaff Master: Wild a QS one handed. Not helpful.
Tripping Staff: Makes QS a trip weapon. One the list as a maybe
Tripping Twirl: Trip all adjacent enemies with a QS. Requires Weapon Spec, so that's out.

Are there any others out there that people can recommend?

Uuuuuh... TWF?

What class are you going with? It might be better to get feats based on that, since combat feats tend to suck.

[Vhaidara]

Half Giant Wizard 3/War Soul Soulbolt Soulknife 2/Bladecaster 9/Hellknight Enforcer 6. Starting with an Int of 12.

Bladecaster 9

Well there's your problem. :smalltongue:

I kid... or do I? Seriously, TWF with the Arcane Steel stance will net some nice damage.

You know, I kind of want to try a Bladecaster/Evangelist for the evulz. :smalltongue:

You know, my first thought when I posted that was "I'm using Bladecaster, Snowbluff's gonna flip"

I'm required to have wizard 9ths by 20 or I get expelled from college, which is why I've got this mess of classes.

I was kind of hoping there were more Quarterstaff specific feats that I had missed.

I use BC, too. It fills a roll for the progression. The abilities are just a shame. :p

Yeah, as far as I know the only really interesting staff feat I know of is Eilvers School, which is 3.5 and I wouldn't use it anyway. PF doesn't seem to have any good ones.

I've always thought that Quarter Staff Master was meant for Staff Magi. Why they didn't simply make it a class feature of that archetype, I have no idea.

Er... they did :smalltongue: it's just open to other builds that might want it too.

What I mean is, "Why did they make it a feat that hardly anyone is going to use, other than the archetype that has a special exception to qualify for it, rather than a class feature?"

Not a quarterstaff feat, but an interesting quarterstaff related is to take an Elvencraft Longbow. ELvencraft makes your longbow work as both the bow and a quarterstaff and just enhance it as a staff, especially good at lower levels ive found.

if you don't mind diving to 3.5e for feats, theres Eilservs School in Drow of the Underdark ... lets you cast a spell from a staff (as long as the target of the spell is either cast on you or your target) as a swift action if you hit with both ends

The best feats for a quarter staff user would be the stick-fighting style feat. It's amazing.
