Dart Staff (3.5e Equipment)

This appears to be a normal Quarterstaff but on close look there is a switch on it that when triggered fires a dart out one end.

The SRD only gives a means to determine costs and weights of weapons for Large and Small versions based on the Medium weapons. Any other supplied values are the author's best determination.

This functions as a quarter staff for melee and a dart for ranged. Using this weapon, you can take a standard action and fire the dart as if you were throwing it. It takes a move action to reload the Dart staff. You can use a full-round action to fire the dart and then attack with the staff (same enemy).

You can upgrade the firing mechanism in the staff.

• Upgrade 1: Increases range by 10 ft (total 30 ft) Cost: 50gp
• Upgrade 2: Increases the power of the dart, dealing +1 dmg (total 1d4+1) Cost: 100gp (upgrade 1 must be added before this one)
