Dwarven Weapon Training and Adventurer's Vault Weapons

[Redclaw]

Does the DWT feat in the PHB give a dwarven character proficiency in all of the superior axes and hammers? It seems to be an absolute no-brainer for any dwarven fighter, paladin, ranger, etc. You get a better weapon, and a +2 damage bonus, all for a single feat.

The feat says you gain proficiency and +2 to damage "with axes and hammers," so yes, it applies to the axes and hammers in AV as well. Nothing in the feat excludes superior weapons.

it increases damage, it doesn't give proficency

Umm...yes it does. Check out the feat on p. 194 of the PHB.

Dwarven Weapon Training [Dwarf]
Prerequisite: Dwarf
Benefit: You gain proficiency and a +2 feat bonus to damage rolls with axes and hammers.

 

[Minigiant]

To a well trained dwarf, an axe is an axe. Some are just bigger.

Eladrin Weapon Training also gives training in the Trident, Tratnyr, Greatspear, and in greatest irony, the Urgrosh.

 

[ppaladin123]

The Eladrin feat is unequivocal because it specifically says, "you gain proficiency with all spears." I wonder though if we will see errata on these feats.

 

[keterys]

I hope so, honestly.

Well, the Urgrosh is half spear, half axe. As DM I would rule that you need proficiency with axes in order to fully use it (meaning the 1d12 part of it)

Quote from the RAW:

Urgrosh: Originally of dwarven make, this
weapon has a heavy axe head at one end (dealing d12
damage) and a sharp spear point at the base of the
haft (dealing d8 damage).

 

[Hypersmurf]

Well, the Urgrosh is half spear, half axe.

What's the entry under 'Group' on the table? Is it "Axe, Spear"?
