[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 1265848, member: 9990"] Balsamic Dragon posted up 5 levels of a PrC he made for his campaign, and I thought I would put it up again for some more review after I added another 5 levels and modified it a bit. Thanks again to all who commented on it before, and any who wish to add a not or two on it. [B][U]Astute Weaponmaster[/U][/B] Unlike her unarmed brethren, the Astute Weaponmaster becomes skilled with the exotic weapons used by monks. Because she has mastered many diverse fighting styles, the Astute Weaponmaster can change weapons frequently during combat as a tactic to confuse enemies. In addition, most monk weapons are made from simple peasant tools, so almost anything can be made into a deadly weapon in the hands of the Weaponmaster.
