Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kobold Stew" data-source="post: 6675986" data-attributes="member: 23484">These are great questions! Here's my opinion.I already have an exotic weapons category: if there's a weapon in the Monster manual but not the PHB that players find (such as the Lizardfolk shield), they are non-proficient with it by default. The only way to gain proficiency is with a tool proficiency (per weapon type) or by taking the weapon master feat. (This has the benefit of giving fighters a reason to want to take the weapon master feat; otherwise all weapon masters are non-fighters, which makes no sense to me).Two types, buckler (+1 AC, needs no proficiency but occupies a hand), and shield (+2, needs proficiency). I'm fine with the armour choices as is -- I don't need more granularity, and if a layer wants to provide a different description of something, that's no problem.I'm happy there are no double axes, and I haven't missed them at all. Finally, a few things I wish were there:* a better understanding of how spears work* something that actually reflects how deadly and fast knife fights can be* a removal of the no-metal sentence from the druid description.</blockquote>
