Quarterstaff Mastery (Tactical)

Prerequisite: Weapon Proficiency (simple) 4 ranks.

Benefit: You gain the three following tactical options:

Shift Grip: You can lengthen your grip to use quarterstaff as a reach weapon. Changing grips is a swift action.

Close-Quarterstaff: You can use a quarterstaff to damage your opponent while grappling. When doing this, you can grapple enemies of one size category larger than normal. You benefit from your staff's enhancement bonuses for your grapple checks. If you manage to pin your enemy for three rounds in a row, he is considered helpless.

Monkey Grip: You can wield a quarterstaff as a one-handed weapon. At the start of your turn, you decide whether or not you are going to wield the quarterstaff as a one-handed or two-handed weapon. When you wield it as a one-handed weapon, your other hand is free, and you cannot use the staff as a double weapon.
