Another option if you like the zbo that much-use martial arts as the primary and the bo as secondary..there are quite a few times when the extended reach can be handy. You'd lose a ranged attack with that sling, but you'll likely be closing in to melee after one or two rounds (if that). You can close on a monster, swap your weapons, and have RFS go after something that is out of range for your close-up fighters that they will likely cream in a round anyway, too. Once again...all a matter of how you want to play your character.
