But since the quarterstaff isn't a reach weapon, you'd gain no benefit for it's size change beyond damage.

I think you guys have convinced me.  A tiny fey using an oversized ("small") quarterstaff still cannot attack into the adjacent hex since he'll still be using his natural reach (2-1/2 feet).

Not a PM, but I gave you respect since you pointed out both book and page#.

So any other suggestions? Should I just walk into an enemies space and risk the AoO?

What about an all wood spear? Anyone got any stats on that?

Very true but that won't kick in for quite a few levels, starting at 5th.

Duskwood

Alternatively, bluewood (Unapproachable East, p58) or bronzewood (Eberron Campaign Setting, p126).

Or Blue Ice (Frostburn).  Though that's better for slashing then piercing.
