Can there be a Legal Staff Great Weapon 6 ft long?

Postby La Atti Dah » Sun Jul 01, 2007 5:12 pm

If a great weapon has to have 4' of contunious Padding
and a staff has 2 ends ( or does it?)
and it has to be held by 2 hands would that mean a Staff would be over

8 ft long Plus grip?

The 7.0 rules state:
Great: If a weapon is five feet or more in length,
has a minimum of four feet of contiguous
striking surface, and a minimum diameter of
five inches over the entire striking surface,
then it is considered Great and becomes Red
when wielded two-handed in a slashing or
bludgeoning manner.

And the 7.2 rules state:

Great If a weapon is five feet or more in length, has a minimum of three
feet of contiguous striking surface (staves must have at least two feet at each
end), and a minimum diameter of four inches (flat blades require a four inch
cross section) over the entire striking surface, then it is considered Great and
becomes Red when wielded two-handed in a slashing or bludgeoning manner—
Never when used to stab or pierce.

Don't forget that the staff still has to be 4" in diameter too.

Actually its already been done, if you remember from Darkshore, one of my house members made a 7 foot'ish greatstaff. We nicknamed it the flaming cuetip.http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb203/stanfordfan19/Amtgard/?action=view&current=greatstaff.jpg

My pal Axe has one that looks like two fluffy pillows on each end of a seven-foot long, four-inch thick bamboo pole
