Real quick question -

Can someone take Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Improvised Weapon/s?

If not, is there a feat somewhere that negates the improvised weapon penalty?

Can someone take Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Improvised Weapon/s?

Technically? No. Everyone is nonproficient with Improvised Weapons, end of story.
Does there exist a feat that negates the penalty? Maybe. I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of supplements like some about here.
Do I see a problem with creating such a feat, if it doesn't exist? Not even a little. I try not to punish people for having concepts that don't fit into the mold of D&D.

a) No, because that feat doesn´t exist (and is a bit oxymoronical).

b) IIRC, the drunken master PrC has a class ability similar to wht you´re looking for.

How's it an oxymoron? A chair leg is improvised, doesn't mean I can't learn to use it, right?

Sure, but how can you be proficient in something you´ve just improvised?

Practice. Hell, if you practiced with a chair long enough, you could be proficient in fighting with chairs.

Improvise 1. To invent, compose, or perform with little or no preparation.
Proficient 1. Having or marked by an advanced degree of competence, as in an art, vocation, profession, or branch of learning.

You can't have a degree of competence in using something that isn't prepared?

 

[Someone]

No, i can´t see how you can have experience wielding something you never picked up before.

Hmm. Are you saying you can't see a rationale for an Improved Weapon Proficiency feat? Or are you saying you can't see a rationale for Weapon Proficiency in a table leg?

The former... I guess I can see. But for the sake of coolness, you overlook it. Perhaps people traing with a wide variety of objects, and are training adaptability as opposed to actual competence in a specific weapon.

For the latter, of course you can become proficient in something bizarre, if you practice enough. If I spent the next 2 years practicing with a table leg, I very well could be quite adept with it.
