There's a standard -4 to hit roll if using a weapon in which you are not proficient.Ok, so:Fighter: 4 Weapon Proficiencies to start. Gain 1/level.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fighters may be proficient with weapons from any Weapon Category.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fighters may take 2 slots to "specialize" (+1 to hit and damage) with a melee weapon. They may expend addition slots to increase these bonuses +1/slot to either "to hit" OR "damage" a maximum of +3 in each. (These bonuses apply in addition to the PC's Strength bonus, if any.)</li> </ul>Thief: 3 Weapon Proficiencies. Gain 1 every other level (3rd, 5th, etc.).<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Thieves may be proficient in any Missile Weapon and any single-handed weapons.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Thieves may take 2 slots to specialize in any Missile Weapon (+1 to hit and damage). This bonus cannot be increased beyond 1 but is added to any Agility modifiers (to hit with missile weapons)</li> </ul>Cleric: 2 Weapon Proficiencies. Gain 1 every other level.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Clerics may only use weapons from the Bludgeoning List or single-handed Hammers (from the Misc. List).</li> </ul>Magic-user: 1 Weapon Proficiency to start. Gain 1 every 3 levels (4th, 7th, etc.)MUs have no interest in the use of arms and may only become proficient with the simplest following weapons: Staff, Dagger, SlingConversely, I'm thinking for (Non-Weapon) Skills will be gathered as follows:Magic-user: 4 to start +1 every levelCleric: 3 to start +1 every other levelThief: 2 to start +1 every levelFighter: 1 to start +1 every other levelI'll start outlining my 4-blocks for "Skills" (which I'm basically thinking of as a big ole mish-mash of old Non-Weapon Proficiencies, Skills and Feats) in the next post.</blockquote>
