[QUOTE="AuraSeer, post: 490339, member: 1331"] Yes, there are gray areas. This is not one of them. The rogue class does not grant kukri proficiency. Flavor text is not rules. It has no game effect. Its only reason for existence is to make a description more interesting. Yes, the rogue does gain ability to use more weapons than the average peasant. This does not mean he gains proficiency with every weapon. Now you're just setting up strawmen. No one ever said the kukri was impossible to wield, or that it was any different than other exotic weapons. A rogue, or anyone else, can wield a kukri with a -4 nonproficiency penalty on his attacks. A rogue, or anyone else, who takes the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat can wield a kukri normally, without that penalty. Your error lies in assuming that rogues get that Exotic Weapon Proficiency for free. Who asked you to apologize? You are mistaken, and I was trying to be helpful by pointing out the rule. I might appreciate an apology now, not for your error, but for your condescension and insults. I truly doubt I'll receive one, however, because you're obviously far too stubborn to admit you're wrong. Since you're dead set on your own interpretation, in defiance of perfectly clear evidence, I'm done with this thread. [/QUOTE]
