[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8753802, member: 7006"] That feat concept makes sense from a narrative point of view... but mechanically I just don't know if having one is justified? Because any class that uses weapons and armor already will have proficiency in the weapons and armor they need. And the classes that don't have a fuller access to all the weapons... say the rogue and the monk... have class features that trigger off the specific proficiencies they already have and thus guarantee they wouldn't want to use different ones they might get from the feat. And for the classes that mainly cast spells but might use a weapon as well, they usually gain additional proficiencies in those weapons via their subclass and thus don't need a feat either. That's always been the issue with weapon and armor proficiency feats... the classes that would want the weapons and armor you gain from them already have proficiency in them from their class. And the classes that don't have proficiency in them don't want to use them anyway. [/QUOTE]
