'A halfling sling staff can be used as a simple weapon that deals bludgeoning damage equal to that of a club of its size.'
So, let's say a slingstaffer gets her hands on a magical one, +1 flaming for the sake of discussion. Sadly, while throwing her bullets, one target comes up close and personal. Figuring that would be a bad time to throw another shot, she brings both hands to the weapon's handle for some bludgeoning damage.
-In melee, the damage is equal to a club's. Should it count as using the club's category (one-hander) too?
-Will any of the magic properties work? (I'll assume ranged only ones will fail.)
-Could someone with more gold than sense put melee properties on one for this situation and have it work?
