[QUOTE="Jasperak, post: 455575, member: 2487"] I handle questioning D&D rules and interpretations the same way rules are challenged in the NFL (National Football League.) If I wanted to change a rule for my game there would have to be conclusive evidence that the rule is unballanced or unwarrented. In this case, since I agree with the current rules concerning exotic weapons I see no reason to give away proficiency with any of them, especially if they seem like they would need more training than the standard martial weapons. Now cases can be made for certain weapons like the bastard sword and the katana, but racial weapons... If one of those weapons would neccessiate extra training to keep from poking yourself in the foot, then it becomes an exotic weapon. I must say though that I am biased, I am a humanophile to the core. I refuse to give the demi-human races any more abilities than they already have. Just because the Orcs make a double bladed axe does not mean then can keep from slicing their own hand off during the follow through. There just is not enough reason to change the rules. IMHO:) [/QUOTE]
