Outside of the people on the roof, yeah.Then I looked over it, my bad. But if the only requirement would be 'has to be one item' then we'd have every rook run around with chainsaw gunblades in armours that reflect magic, have wings and eight extra arms and also make them invisible ;p In the same way, I don't allow bishops 'water manipulation' because that's a ton of spells in one slot, or require an ability slot for flight because otherwise every knight with a winged spirit has a free power. Basically, it's very unfair towards other players.
The weapon is normal three section staff with a retractable blade. That is a lot different from having a piece of magical equipment that has multiple effects. In fact, the only reason it's not just a bladed three section staff is because I wanted the option to make it nonleathal. It's not like it's four entirely different weapons, it can just be used four different ways.
When the sections are joined and the blade is retracted, it's a Bo staff.
When the sections are joined and the blade is locked halfway, it's a scythe.
When the sections are joined and the blade is fully extended, it's a Naginata.
When the sections are separated, it's a three section staff.
If I had a crossbow with an extendable blade and a shield attached, i would understand the objection, but the Four Fold Staff never stops being a staff weapon.
