Looking at it now, though, I might just leave them as they were and maybe add in Weapon Supremacy at 12th, then bump WGM to 16th.It's to maneuvers made using that weapon (disarm and trip). I should've been clearer.No brain? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Sorry, I couldn't resist.When I was reading your respsonse, I thought about high-level martial artists. Many of them are black belts in multiple disciplines, because those disciplines are largely similar - a punch is a punch, a kick is a kick; it's just the way you use them that's different. I looked at the Pathfinder fighter last night, and they deal with weapon groups like a ranger's favored enemy - at each level you can get a new group, your bonus in all your other groups advances automatically. So, for example, at 5th level you choose Light Blades and get a +1 to attack/damage. At 9th level you choose Heavy Blades; your bonus in Light Blades increases to +2/+2. And so on. This seems like a more elegant solution.See my comment above about martial artists. Longswords and scimitars are largely similar, so once you learn one, it's not hard to learn the other. I didn't say I was using them all as-is. They put those in the same group precisely because they're druidic weapons - druids have a restricted list. Same with monks.That's what it looked like to me, but I'll look at it again.</blockquote>
