[QUOTE="Wulf Ratbane, post: 1748591, member: 94"] It is, and I'd like to point out something you missed. The wording on the 3.5 Martial Weapon Proficiency feat (the same text GT uses) says, "Choose a [i]type[/i] of martial weapon..." Exotic Weapon Proficiency says, "Choose one exotic weapon." I think you can see where I'm going with this-- though I haven't been able to find in D&D what the "types" of Martial weapons are, and I admit to deliberately including the same ambiguity in Grim Tales. The distinction is made (one type vs. one weapon) but I cannot see that they followed it up. As if you couldn't do it yourself, the equipment chapter gives you a good start on making "types" of martial weapons-- short blades, long blades, axes, flails, bows, etc. Remember that you only get the Strong bonuses if you take Strong as your 1st character level. If you later multiclass into Strong, you don't get the weapon or armor proficiencies. Personally, I'm rather fond of the 3 bonus core skills and scads of skill points you get for 1st level Smart hero. Wulf [/QUOTE]
