Question, newbie, type stupid, one ea.
What are the odds of somehow creating a quarterstaff that is safe for
combat (light or heavy). I really like that type of fighting and while I
understand the reasons behind it's not being allowed, I still wish it was
possible.

There has been some discussion along these lines before. You might be
interested in taking a look at one of my files in the COMBAT section of
my SCA Rialto Files:
quarterstaff-msg (18K) 9/26/95 Quarterstaffs and why they're not used in
the SCA.
