A quarterstaff with one blade on each end of the weapon. The blades are each about one foor in length, with a 3 to 6 foot pole in the center depending on the race and size of the wielder.
To allow a better grip on the weapon the center is usually wrapped with leather straps.
The blade staff is primarily a defensive weapon, when making a defensive stance (optional rules), the character may add an additional bonus equal to half his Melee Weapons Talent Rank to his or her physical defense. (round down)
E.g. Seymoore, a Journeyman Adept has a Melee Weapons Talent Rank of 5. After a long day on the road, he is ambushed by some bandits. Seymoore decides to make a defensive stance to test his foes fighting abilities, so while whirling his blade staff, his physical defense is increased by 5 points ( 3 + 5/2 ).
