Heya! I keep forgetting to post this (finished it last year in December) but I finally designed a weapon for my TMNT 2003 OC Kammie thanks to some of my friends on Discord! I gave her a similar weapon to Mikey! The three-section staff aka the Sansetsukon! I hope ya enjoy! Thanks!

Three-section staff

[erik-murphy1981]

Three-Section Staff

Melee weapon, Simple Properties: Finesse, Light (when dual), Reach (when 2-handed), Versatile (Special) Damage: 1d4 (1d8 two-handed) Bludgeoning

Three sticks, each two feet long, connected by chains at the ends.

Special: The Three-Section staff can be used in two ways.

At a range of 5ft it behaves exactly as 2 Clubs used for Two Weapon Fighting. (Two-Weapon Fighting: When you take the Attack action and attack with a Light melee weapon that you’re holding in one hand, you can use a Bonus Action to attack with a different Light melee weapon that you’re holding in the other hand. You don’t add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative.)

At a range of 10ft it behaves exactly as a Quarterstaff wielded in 2 hands, but with the Reach property.

The three-section staff. A really interesting and fun weapon - that cross between a staff and nunchaku makes it a pretty unique one to wield. It’s a weapon that I really don’t spend near enough time with, and need to practice much more.

It takes a little bit of getting used to (and a couple of bruises) but once you get the speed down it spins more or less as smoothly as a staff.

And as a little PSA: If anyone is keen to pick up a three-section staff, bo staff, or any other Chinese/Japanese weapon but, like me, don’t have anywhere local to train - I would strongly recommend heading over to the YouTube channel of Jake Mace and start learning from him.

Unlike many other instructional channels out there, Jake is a lot of fun to watch and learn from. He’s very skilled and really pulls you in to what he’s demonstrating. Most of what I know today comes from watching his videos. 

Anyway! As ever, thank you for watching!

A weekend project of mine- A sansetsukon; or three section staff. After a little over a decade of experience with the nunchakus, I decided to try something a little more exotic. They're home-made with one-inch galvanized steel pipe and heavy chain, so they're quite heavy. I've already bashed myself a couple times, but I've thoroughly enjoyed myself so far.
