In PatW, you go into quite a bit of detail on the history of all kinds of D&D tropes, from dungeons and rogues down to individual monsters and items like rings, staffs etc. Yet one thing is never mentioned: the iconic 10-foot-pole. I’m sure it doesn’t have a literary pre-history, but do you have any idea who came up with this and where exactly it had its origin?

Thanks for pointing out the page! I’ll take another look at that. (Well, as soon as I get my copy back – I loaned it to a friend as soon as I had finished devouring it a few months ago.)
