No proficiency bonus.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Specialized in a weapon (costs an additional slot), you add your prof bonus to attack and damage.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mastery in a weapon (costs a third slot and is only accessible by certain classes/subclasses) and unlocks the mastery feature (which can only be use max once per turn). You can only be specialized in a weapon in which you are proficient and can only gain mastery in a weapon in which you are specialized. Starting characters still begin with a number of weapons (or weapon groups) that they are proficient in, and some classes begin with 1 to 4 specializations.</li> </ul></blockquote>
