|prereqs=[[SRD:Weapon Focus|Weapon Focus]] ([[SRD:Quarterstaff|Quarterstaff]] or other staff-like weapon)
|bab0=You treat [[SRD:Quarterstaff|Quarterstaves]] and other staff-like weapons as [[SRD:Trip|trip weapons]] and may apply [[SRD:Weapon Finesse|Weapon Finesse]] to them. Additionally you gain the benefits of the [[SRD:Two-Weapon Fighting (Feat)|Two-Weapon Fighting]] but only for the purpose of fighting with a quarterstaff as a double weapon. You may qualify for feats with [[SRD:Two-Weapon Fighting (Feat)|Two-Weapon Fighting]] as a prerequisite, but unless you take  [[SRD:Two-Weapon Fighting (Feat)|Two-Weapon Fighting]] normally they only apply when fighting with a quarterstaff as a double weapon. Finally you can deal non-lethal damage with [[SRD:Quarterstaff|Quarterstaves]] and other staff-like weapons without taking any penalty on the attack roll.
|bab1=You may fight with a Quarterstaff as a two-handed weapon with reach instead of a double weapon. When doing so, or using the quarterstaff as a double weapon, you gain a +2 Shield bonus to AC by deflecting incoming blows. You may still strike and threaten adjacent targets and may switch which end of the staff you strike with as a free action. 
|bab6=Once per round as an attack action you may strike two creatures who are flanking you with each other. You must make two separate attack rolls to hit, but it is otherwise counted as the same attack.
|bab11=As a full-round action you may move half your speed and make a [[SRD:Whirlwind Attack|Whirlwind Attack]] attack with your staff at any point during the movement. After using this ability you take a -2 penalty to attack roll and AC for 1 round.
|bab16=Once per encounter as a standard action you may make a single attack with your quarterstaff at your highest attack bonus. If the attack hits it deals double damage and allows you to make two combat maneuvers (except grapple) as a free action.}}
