[QUOTE="Shinsetsu, post: 80350, member: 1579"] I haven't seen this prc in MoTW, but it sounds like a load of hogwash to me- 5 levels or not. After all the fussing about exotic weapons, and spending feats just to use them effectively, it seems ridiculous that even a PrC would enable a person to use any of them, and much less, gain a weapon focus or weapon specialization bonus to all of them. I like the Improvised Weapons and Partial Exotic Weapon Proficiency abilities, though. As a way to broaden your exotic weapon skills, perhaps you could allow an ability that would enable the character to use similar types of weapons, for example, chain weapons, exotic polearms, exotic two handed swords, exotic bastard swords, exotic small throwing weapons, etc. Using them without penalty is one thing. Allowing improved critical and specialization with them all is another, and may not be material that is appropriate for even a prestige class. Is it me, or is there a trend in WoTC making and then breaking all their rules? Or has it been decided that exotic weapons are not really all that powerful, and there was never a need to make such a fuss about access to them? If not, then what do I have to say to all the people who've given me hell about exotic weapon access in the past, now that they're probabling hooting and hollering about how cool this Exotic Weapon Master prc class is? It really makes me think- do these people think for themselves or just eat up everything they're spoon fed? (I'm talking about WoTC board experiences- EN World rocks) [/QUOTE]
