1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.


A long wooden staff split into three sections by metal rings, which hold the weapon in one piece and hide the chains that hook each wooden shaft together. A three section staff may be wielded as a quarterstaff by anyone with simple weapon proficiency.

If the wielder is proficient with the three section staff as an exotic weapon, however, they may separate the metal rings, leaving only the chains connecting the parts of the weapon. Detaching or attaching the rings in this manner is normally a move action, but a character with a Base Attack Bonus of +4 or higher may do so as a swift action.

Adjusting the weapon in this fashion forgoes the three section staff’s ability to be used as a double weapon, but instead makes it a reach weapon that allows the wielder to strike at anyone in their melee reach. In this form, and three section staff also grants it’s wielder a +2 bonus to disarm checks.
