Does Versitile mean the weapon does different damage if thrown like a trident? Thanks!
Hi clear_seeker,
for such queries, you can check out the omni search functionality on D&D Beyond, by typing the rule or term you want clarification on into the search box at the top of the page and it will show you search results.
This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property--the damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee attack.

Can a versatile weapon (staff of defence) be classed as a light weapon so I can use it as a two weapon attack for my bonus action? Thanks
Light and Versatile are two different properties. A versatile weapon can be used with Two-Weapon Fighting if it is also light - because it's normally one-handed.
Staff of Defense isn't light though - so to use it with Two-Weapon Fighting would require the Dual Wielder feat.

ModeratorVersatile means that the weapon does more damage when used with both hands in a melee attack.
