Right, so--is there anything that can be done to make a staff cool?

[Well.]

More deadly, like. If it needed to be used for offense. Or defense, even. S'ppose it wouldn't hurt if it looked cooler as well.

Learn to wield it like a spear! Flip it around and jab at shit!

[inkindled]

But it's not got a pointy end.

[sulahnan]

Can't you just...sharpen one end? Or tie a dagger to it?

[justashotaway]

A staff is already useful for fighting.

[inkindled]

I mean, with magic, yeah. Otherwise it's about as useful as a massive stick would be.

[justashotaway]

You can hit with it. And block.

[rathercommon]

Paint it with racing stripes, obviously.

[inkindled]

With a whats?

[rathercommon]

Oh, it's - silly. It's a silly thing where people painted stripes on things to make them go faster, even though they obviously didn't actually go faster 'cause of it. It was a way they tried to make things cooler.

[galvanising]

Have you done any staff fighting? You can have a blade attached, but you'll need to learn how to use it.

[inkindled]

I've-- done some.

[Which is not technically a lie, he's learning, that counts.]

What sort of blade? Like--lash a knife to it?

[technologist]

You could add a hidden blade.

[ this would not look cooler but would possibly lead to less accidental stabbing. possibly. ]

[wythersake]

Tassels.

[nonvenomous]

Fiery tassels.

[wythersake]

On each end, so that when you spin it --

[libratus]

Have you got a proper grip on yours?

[wythersake]

I think he's telling you to get a grip.

[libratus]

As an alternative to lighting himself on fire, perhaps.

[windyvoice]

Crystals, dude. There's this like legendary wizard from my world who totally had crystals and shit on his staff. Hurts like a motherfucker when you hit someone with it, I bet.

[inkindled]

Some've ours have got those as well. Like stuck in the end? But I dunno how many you could manage to fix in there, there being only so much space and all. How many did your legend wizard have in his?

[windyvoice]

Dunno, I think he had like one really fuck off big one? But you guys swing that shit around a lot anyway, can't you just like whack somebody with it?

[thereneverwas]

Hitting people with it.

[inkindled]

That doesn't make it cool. You can hit people with any old thing, really.

[tender]

Blades are always a good choice. But why do you think you need something extra?

[inkindled]

'Cause I'm basically a scarecrow?
