Unfortunately yes, I have a headache now. But I still managed to beat the other dart players in that Irish pub yesterday!

Hehehe - I bet it wouldn't!

By the way, still open to ideas on changing the look a bit.

I like the model as it stands now. It's just the mixture of realism and fantasy that works well with games.
For the texture maybe try something similar. The current one doesn't pickup much of the models shape. A wooden staff with leather straps around the handle could make that work better. Or, if you want to keep the dark staff, use some other colors/shades to set some contrast. If the UV mapping size allows for it, maybe even put some details into the metal parts, like scratches, engraved writings, rust etc.

About my staff; it could come later. I am waiting for an "ingredient"...

I still want to see a Naginata...

Maybe it can be done as a variant of the staff?

The only trouble I could see with it is that the moves would have to be more graceful than with most weapons. It's pretty much a full body weapon. Its use is an actual martial art, rather than simply smashing a sword or mace into someone's face.

Nice if you could just make it a little shorter.that looks like it would be realy heavy. back then they would not have materials like these new driver's( golf)

The handle needs to be smaller in diameter.

The main problem i can see with a naginata is that about 2/3 of the weapon generally shouldnt do damage.

Or, it should do less damage. It just wouldn't feel right if it doesn't do damage at all.

Yeah... those things are cool!

I like the sharp ends. It makes more sense when they jab into a player, nearly killing him/her.
