I have a wizard with a homebrewed magic staff and the attack bonus with the staff is only his strength modifier. Isn't a staffs able to be used as a quarterstaff as well? I tried with the staff of power as well and had the same result of my proficiency bonus not being applied and only the STR mod plus bonus was shown.
I do see that the Staff of Power changed to quarterstaff but the Staff of the Magi is still a staff. I can change my homebrew staff easily enough but shouldn't all staffs be able to be used as a quarterstaff though?
I did notice that the Base weapon type field is available with my homebrew staff but setting it to quarterstaff doesn't seem to get applied when selected and saved.
Yes I understand that. What I was mentioning is that when I went to edit my homebrew the Base Weapon field is also available, but if I create a new Staff then the Base weapon field is disabled.

The issue with Staff of Power is fixed.
You must make them as Quarterstaff, not Item.

Yes, they should.
I am going to revise all of them, then.
UPDATE: Rolled back the Staff of Power, apparently Staffs need an ad-hoc fix.
To clarify - all STAFFS (or Staves if you prefer) should be of base item type ITEM and magic item type STAFF.

No, as Stormknight said, staffs are supposed to be set as Item - Staff. No base weapon.
