Hello a few firsts for me here my first post and my first override mod for NWN2 and MOTB. It has not yet been tested on SOZ.
This override changes all quarterstaffs and magic staff weapons into the two bladed sword weapons from the original Neverwinter game. Models, Icons, Damage, Weapon type, and text have all been changed to turn all the staffs into two bladed swords. Any magical effects the staffs had originally remain.
( Please note this will REPLACE all the staff weapons. If you like your staffs don�t use this ! )
Here�s a quick list of what the Override changes:
Models of all staffs have been replaced. ( Thx MWMDragon )
New replacement weapon icons.
Damage stats of the two bladed swords are set to match those of the Halberd.
Weapon type set to double-sided (so you should get an offhand attack).
Text in game has been replaced, both in game and feat descriptions.
Exotic weapon feat needed to use these weapons ( This was done as a balance for the extra damage these weapons do )
Weapon sounds set to metallic.
Installation Instructions:
Unzip into the ( ****\Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\Override ) folder. Just like any other override.
Copy the ( dialog.TLk ) file into the ( ****\Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2 ) folder
Note if you are using any other Hak�s / overrides that edit the TLk file it may conflict with this mod.
That�s all there is to it.
Notes :
Finally just to let everyone know I am not a programmer or anything like that. This was done with weeks of trial and error and for my own amusement. If you have difficulties with this mod I will try to answer your questions, but for the most part you are on your own.

@notwenjc TWF and TWD apply to double weapons such as two-bladed swords, dire maces and such... as I remember, according to PnP even quarterstaves could be used as double weapons..
I'm pretty sure that problem existed in NWN 1 as well with rangers. If your ranger character had exotic weapons feat and used a 2 bladed sword, u still got the bonuses.
I didn't know NWN 2 even had double weapon functionality. Sweet.
Thanks GilGwath. If you can make a script that affects a double weapon correctly then grate. But surly TWF and TWD feats should not apply to these weapons. TWF and TWD should effect only when holding two independent weapons as opposed to one weapon in both hands, shouldn�t they?
i made some tests, and indeed it gives an attack for the offhand, BUT is bugged: no penalty are given nor for the first hand, nor for the offhandm this with and without TWF feat.
More, TWDefense is not working with them.
Anyway with your model now i can make a scripted version for using a double weapon, fixing existing problems. The only problem i can't fix is how to get both blades anchanted differently, but that's a little bit too much i'd say
It would seem so. Not sure if it�s a true second attack. But certainly when using these weapons the off hand is given an attack bonus, and the rate of attack increases. So good as a second attack, anyway.
