I was wondering if anyone knows of a mod that adds staffs similar to the ones in morrowind, ones that you can actually bonk someone with. Ive been doing some searching but the only other staves i can find are defensive ones.
Well, I'm currently using this one, that add Mage robes and Staves that can be used in Melee:

It's not perfect, as the beginning staves are a bit on the weak side compared to other blunt weapons, but they have additional magic damage bonuses, and they add bonuses to Blocking, which makes it a useful weapon for a mage char. They are set up like 2-handed weapons, also, so the animation isn't perfect (it's not really how you'd want to use a quarterstaff in RL).
It also has some compatibility issues with TIE, I think which is why I override the BOSS load order and load it after TIE (otherwise the items don't show up in some vendor lists). If you use Wyre Bash, I'm sure that doing a bashed patch would fix it. It's not really a big deal for me, b/c it has worked so far; the only thing I noticed was a conflict in Cheydinhal Mages Guild - a Redguard is missing his robe, which looks kinda silly, but it wasn't enough to bother me. I'll just use an inventory sharing spell to give him some clothes if it bothers me that much. If you don't use T.I.E., (or use a BASHed Patch) it may be a non-issue.
What I'd really like to see, is a mod that adds spear and staff use to the game and it could even use the same Weapon skill. It could add a skill called Stave or Pole Weapons or something like that. Many of the ways you would maneuver a spear in combat would be similar to a staff, and would be more similar than say... Axes and Maces. This mod could add Spears, Quarterstaves, Halberds, Pikes, and all manner of such goodness with the same weapon skill and animations!
