Just a bugaboo of mine,
The rulebook says staff use is restricted for safety reasons, this is plainly not the case. Tripping isn't allowed in any context, we thrust with polarms and 2 handed swords all the time and the middle 3 feet grip rule is plainly unnecessary within the context of other weapons allowed on the battlefield.
Imho the rules for staff are firmly rooted in the build cost with it being the second cheapest melee weapon and would in essence top all other 2 handed weaponry as a option if its usage were unrestricted. I think the rulebook should either state this plainly or liberalize the usage while upping the xp cost.
