Can you grip a quarter staff by the blade

Postby Rogue_Uno » Sun Apr 28, 2019 7:38 pm

Hi everyone, I am looking for a 2019 refresh of the ruling. Can you hold the quarterstaff by the striking surface? I have heard mixed ruling from different realms. Thanks!

Yes you may. You can grip your own striking surface in any manner without taking injury. However, if the weapon becomes contested you may no longer do so, and grabbing the striking surface would then be the same as grabbing an opponent's striking surface.
