Barbs have a run speed boost ... rogues and fighters have an attack speed boost

and I believe the answer is yes the Attack speed boost and the Qstaff speed increase should stack.

doh I'm feeling thick.

I believe the run boost and the speed incereases of both would stack as well

ok thats what i was wondering =).


P.S. dont waste feats on 2 handed fighting with a q-staff, just discovered you cant get glancing blows with a q-staff. =(

Think i answered your other post, but quarterstaffs get glancing blows on attack 3 and 4 (instead of attack 1 and 4 like other 2handers). Possibly also attack #5, though i dont have a full bab character to try this. Regardless, 2hander feats DONT WORK for quarterstaffs. Why? Only the devs know (and it isnt a bug, thats how they wanted it).

I'm betting it was done this way originally so the Q-staff could be made into a double weapon, but they never got around to it and don't want to go back and redo it. Plus it makes staffs seem unique I suppose.

As currently implemented for staff combat:

GTHF adds a glancing attack to attack 4
STHF adds a glancing attack to attack 5 (raising it from 1 to 2 glances)

If you have spring attack, GTHF adds a glancing attack to mobile attack 2.

That's not entirely accurate. THF and ITHF have no effect, but GTHF does. I'm not sure what they'll change now that STHF is not being added. It would be nice if they could add some of the benefits to THF and ITHF.

I thought that you dont get the 1.5 STR bonus with a quarterstaff.

I think I remember a dev saying it's not really treated like a typical 2-hander.
