- For staves in other games, see Staves (Origins) and Staves (Inquisition).
This page lists staves in Dragon Age II.
Unlike Origins, staff attacks can miss and land critical hits like normal weapons.
Note that several staff names, for example the Runed Staff, do not have unique properties: different instances of the staff will have different properties.
