Right now I'm playing around with a Wizard who took Pole Weapons and is using a Spear (silver) as a Staff. That gives her a 2 hex jab on top of the occult strike as well as the other benefits of Pole Weapons.

Re: Question about ST cost when using a staff occult attack
As a house rule, sure, it's not going to seriously upset anything too much. After all, the original TFT staffs did 1d for no ST cost for a touch attack. Or 2d for Staff of Power. Of course they also lacked all of the other new staff attack effects, and the ability to store mana. (It'll just make staffs a bit more convenient/versatile than they already are, and reduce the relevance of their physical shape.)

Re: Question about ST cost when using a staff occult attack
Though technically valid using RAW, I wouldn't allow this in my own games. It bleeds too far into 'enchanted weapon' territory for me. A wizard's staff should not be functional as another type of weapon IMO.

Re: Question about ST cost when using a staff occult attack
TBH, I'd like to do something special with that... not dependent on the staff spell rules.
