I want to make Eda's staff  , however I need some ironing out assistance

Love Love magical staff - ( 300 om ? ) ( Requires strength proficiency ) 

-A plain oak or maple staff with a heart shaped end to it , used in attacking and focusing spells
Incresed Durability - Staff is difficult to break 
Staff length : 5 feet
Damage : Weak 
Reach : 10 feet ( Eda's reach + staff length )

Moves for the staff :

WHAP!!!!! ( 300 om )
~ A swing of the staff aimed right for the opponents head
~ Like in the comic books of old A large speech bubble will appear when an attack connects that reads ( WHAP!!! )

BAM!!! ( 300 om ) 
~ A swing of the staff aimed at the opponents midsection
~ Same flavor effect of WHAP 


Pow!!! ( 300 om ) 
~ A swing of the staff aimed at the opponents arm 
~ Same flavor effect as WHAP


KABAM!! ( 300 om ) 
~ A swing of the staff aimed for the legs 
~ Same flavor effect as WHAP

ZORP!!! 
~ A swing of the staff aimed for the ... lower area of male opponents 
~ Same flavor effect as WHAP

You wouldn't really need individual moves for different ways of attacking with the staff, unless they have additional effects beyond the basic strike itself. That said, the staff itself looks fine.

To be honest, it makes my head hurt, and confuses me. What is the point of having weapons or abilities at all if their use is pointless? I mean I understand not wanting things that kill instantaneously, but not having any consequences for screwing up makes no sense to me, both as a player, and as someone who DM's a group every week. I am sorry if I am giving problems here, but I am having issues with comprehending a lot of things here. Not trying to be confrontational, just trying to understand.

Having a weapon or special ability intended for offense is always going to turn out better than just fighting without them, as even the most basic of moves are going to be stronger (even if it is marginally) than fighting barehanded or without any kind of weapon or special abilities, for the most part.

As far as not having any consequences....not really sure where that comes in. The thing you have to remember here is, that things which would apply to most normal people don't really apply to Primes or more powerful Secondaries, here in the Omniverse. Since you mentioned DMing, think of even the weakest, freshest of Primes here as capital-A Adventurers. They're good -- very good.

And back to an earlier question, removing someone's head with a sword if they fail a dodge....what, exactly, constitutes 'failing' a dodge? The only way that could happen is if the writer straight up didn't even acknowledge or attempt to dodge it at all, or wrote it in such a broken way that it is completely impossible to envision how they could have done so.

But this has devolved into a subject best served by another discussion thread, if you are still confused about anything.
