If you're thinking about using Flurry in a large way, for goodness sake get this cleared up with your DM, because it's a massive source of confusion in this space. At Monk 9, the penalties for flurry disappear. Flurry's penalties disappear over time, so at Monk 3 it becomes -2/-2/-2. Your primary attack is nerfed when flurrying to -2/-2 two-weapon fighting adds another attack but imposes its own -2 on both the primary hand and the off hand - and thus a -4/-4/-4. And therefore can be used during a monk’s Flurry of Blows, albeit each end of the staff counts as a separate weapon for these purposes.Ī first level monk's flurry, when combined with the Two Weapon Fighting feat and a quarterstaff is -4/-4/-4. Power Attack partially works with a double weapon - you can still nerf your attack roll and add it to damage - but you don't double the addition to damage, because you are not deemed as holding a two-handed weapon when TWFing with it.
(But you'll only get 0.5xSTR bonus on the offhand attack, because it's for all intents and purposes a light weapon.) Whilst a generous DM might interpret it as a 1.5xSTR bonus on the 'primary' end because you're wielding a one-handed weapon in two hands, it seems most consensus is that when you're using it this way, it's usually 1xSTR on the primary end and 0.5xSTR on the 'off hand' end. Most basic Two-Weapon Fighting feats will apply to it. So it can be used for Two-Weapon Fighting, where it starts as if you’re wielding a one-handed weapon and a light weapon in the off hand. More significantly, Power Attack can be used on it to get double the normal bonus on damage, unlike light weapons.
you're not utilising it as a true double weapon via two-weapon fighting. if you're only attacking with one end, i.e. So right out of the gate, you add 1.5xSTR to the damage rolls. And in general, classes proficient with martial weapons are proficient with simple weapons as well. Whilst certain prestige classes provide no additional weapon familiarities, I’ve yet to come across any base class that isn’t proficient with the quarterstaff, either via simple weapon proficiency or because it’s one of the named weapons the class gets. That is, you won’t have to dip a level or a feat to be able to use a quarterstaff, which frees up levels or feat slots to do other stuff. Let’s start right at the beginning and take a look at some of the weapon’s fundamental aspects - both its pros and cons.
