Martial Staff is an enchanted quarterstaff +3. It has the same properties as a Quarterstaff +3, except it is more expensive. It deals 1d6 +3 points of crushing damage and it has -3 THAC0 bonus and a speed factor of 1.

It has the looks of Aule's Staff, which appeared in Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, but Aule's Staff does not appear in BG2.

Description

This humble staff radiates powerful magic, and was likely the simple-seeming weapon of a traveling mage or cleric. It would certainly prove more than ample for dealing with most threats encountered on the road.

Gameplay[]

There's no obvious reason for the inflated price, however it does explain why these are preferred over the Quarterstaff +3 for starting equipment in Throne of Bhaal, since it provides the party with more initial coin.
