[QUOTE="Bastoche, post: 490062, member: 306"] I say that the term "dagger" is misleading in the kukri's description. It's not a dagger. A dagger is a piercing weapon. A dirk is a "dagger". A punching dagger is a "dagger". A main-gauche is a "dagger". A stilletto is a "dagger". A kukri is a slashing weapon as long as a dagger, with a one-handed hilt like a dagger that is and curved. It's an exotic weapon. The only classes who get proficiency with that weapon for free are those where it's explicitly written. IMO, there's a mistake in the rogue description too: they state that they're proficient with "crossbow (hand and light)" but they simply say "with all daggers", instead of "dagger (dagger and punching dagger [and kukri [i]if[/i] they got it for free])". There's no flavor reason to allow rogues to be proficient in kukri (unlike the hand crossbow for the rogue or the nunchaks for the monks). Therefore they aren't proficient with it. When there's too much interpretation involved (like spinning a book upside down to give free proficiencies to rogues), when something non-conventionnal is not [u]explicitly[/u] written, it's probably because it wasn't intended that way. / would not allow rogues to gain a free weapon pro. with kukris. Now do what you will with that opinion. [/QUOTE]
