One additional is enough, especially since they can be everything, and even allow you to take more than one of those "Can only be taken by a 1st-level Character" Feats..Then they aren't human any more. Humans aren't inherently specialized in anything. Well, the bastard sword has their name already...No, surely not.There are already Primary Weapons by Race:Elves already use Bows, Longswords and Rapiers, cause they're proficient with those weapons. All elves (not just fighters, as it would be with weapon familiarity). They also tend to use weapons that are graceful, not some brutish big things.Dwarves are clearly favoring axes of any sort, and hammers.Halflings and their stones and slings.Orcs and big, brutish weapons like greataxes.War clerics of all races influence the lists, since they can get free proficiency and focus with that weapon.With weapon familiarity, it won't change that much, since they don't get proficiency with those weapons, but can treat them as martial weapons. While an elven wizard may wield a longsword, a dwarven rogue cannot use a dwarven waraxe without penalty or using a feat for it.Absolutely not. The only thing that changes is that the battleaxe all but disappears from the list. We should have many dwarven war axes, many warhammers, and then greataxes and mauls (and the occasional urgrosh). Surely no greatswords or morning stars.What about the rapier??? Rogues cannot use the thinblade without proficiency, and so they use the rapier. They'll also favor the composite shortbow, because of the size (and the damage die one step higher doesn't concern them overmuch).</blockquote>
