I was thinking about characters that want to break out of stereo-type by wielding weapons they are not normally trained in, and thought of these feats. I would be interested in any comments on their balance.
Simple Weapon Training:
Prereqs : any one simple weapon proficiency
Benefit : You are proficient in all simple weapons
Martial Weapon Training:
Prereqs : any one martial weapon proficiency
Benefit : You are proficient in all martial weapons
Exotic Weapon Training (subtype):
Prereqs : any one exotic(subtype) weapon proficiency
Benefit : You are proficient in all exotic(subtype) weapons
For the exotic weapon training, subtype would need to be set by the DM. You might have subtypes like dwarven, whip-like, martial-arts and so on.
Basically, my thinking is that if someone wants to have a wizard that is trained in use of all whip-like weapons, or all martial weapons, but doesn't want to take a level of fighter, they can. Normally you would have to take each weapon proficiency feat seperately, but that is way too steep for my taste.
The actual reason that I want to make these feats is that I'm introducing crude firearms to my campaign. I want them to be rareish, so they are exotic weapons, but I don't think someone should be forced to take 5 feats just to be proficient with all firearms.
