So Staff III kinda pisses you off?

I can see your point. I don't mind the thrown dagger/sha-ken exception. It's never even come up in my game.

So far as combat mechanics go, the staff zaps have similarities to thrown daggers and ska-ken.

Wizard stands in second rank doing staff zaps and dagger tosses?

I'm talking about small damage weapons with a tendency to get past armor.

No. I've no issue with magical attacks that bypass armor.

The popularity of men at arms carrying and training to use in grappling daggers exactly corresponds with the increase in personal armor. Our 3oz throwing knife is a lot less sturdy than the historical anti-armor daggers however.
