Martial Weapon Proficiency

[comrade raoul]

Just a quick thought. It struck me that Martial Weapon Proficiency is such a weak feat: who'd want to take it? Characters who want to be better fighters can take one level in a combat-friendly class (and they're probably better off doing that than blowing a feat on the ability to use that longsword); and most classes are generally proficient with the best weapons for them anyway.

As a result, I'd like to change the Martial Weapon Proficiency feat so that taking it provides proficiency with any three martial weapons of choice, rather than one. Does that sound like a good idea?

Personally, I've divided the martial weapons into 7 catagories and one feat gives one catagory.

How does that work with other weapon-specific feats? Does one take Weapon Focus with a category, or a particular weapon?

Weapon focus and other feats that require a specific weapon still require a specific weapon.
