📋 About This Mod
Converts MOST vanilla staves to be one handed blunt types. Steel staves remain two handed as they resemble Bo staves. Any staves you have enchanted before installing this mod won't become one handed however any staff you enchant after
One Handed Staves converts most vanilla staves in Skyrim to one-handed blunt weapons, allowing them to be used with a shield or spell in the other hand. Steel staves remain two-handed to preserve their Bo staff appearance. Note that staves enchanted before installation won't be affected, but new enchantments will work.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple, focused mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat.
- Opens up new playstyles, like staff-and-shield or staff-and-spell combos.
- Small but dedicated following (36 endorsements) and still gets downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- No updates since 2018—might be outdated for the latest Skyrim version.
- Staves you already enchanted won't convert, so you'll need to re-enchant them.
- Only affects vanilla staves—modded staves are untouched.
For Skyrim players who want to use staves in melee combat or pair them with a shield. If you're a mage who likes versatility, this is a must-try. Skip if you only use modded staves or prefer staves as pure ranged weapons.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep your load order clean.
- After installing, enchant a new staff to see the change—old ones won't be affected.
- If you use other staff mods, load this one after them to ensure compatibility.
