can we add halfstaff models to morningstar/club appearances?

we can take some of the most popular quarterstaff appearances and shrink them down a bit

we'd have to be careful about the "hold point" on them though. the hold point on a morningstar is near the bottom, where a half staff would be near the middle. but the model can be adjusted up/down to make this correct, yes?

i don't feel it would be necessary to add a whole new weapon type to get half staves in game. morningstars are the perfect candidate to add half staff appearances to

Like fighting with two sticks? Why would they have both bludgeoning and piercing then? As well as be 1d8? I think the mace would suffice better for that no? 1d6 and only bludgeoning damage as fighting with two sticks could be.

i considered mace and club, but i thought their damage to be lower than a half staff

mace would work though. but half staves are typically wielded 1-1 1/2 handed. a half staff is typically the size of a walking cane

a stick in each hand is a jo stick/baton. different weapon :)

whatever the choice, it would be nice to have half staves in game visually

I can see the thought process there.

Use a club, it would let those small races have their staves without monkey grib.

if we do add a few of the most popular quarterstaff appearances, in scaled down size, to clubs, i've already thought of a name for a new club/cane/half staff. waukeen stick. i cant decide if that's utterly brilliant, or super silly...perhaps both

I'm cool with this. I think it'd be cool to see maybe wands implemented as daggers as well, or something.

the kama already has a stick appearance option.
