[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 9160080, member: 6915329"] I am interested in the idea of not having stats affect combat (or at least, not having them affect combat quite so much), [I]this [/I]problem could be solved by simply bringing back limited weapon proficiencies as per 2e. Don't bother separating weapons into martial and simple. At most, have very tight weapon groups (say, longbows and shortbows as one group; short sword and dagger as another--the exact groups can be determined later). A fighter (or other martial) is proficient in, say, six or eight weapons or weapon groups of their choice, and maybe one more based on culture, background, or personal history; this one could be determined in the culture write-up or chosen by the player with DM approval. A wizard or sorcerer might be proficient in two or three weapons (but not weapon groups) chosen from a small list. A rogue might be proficient also in six or eight weapons, but chosen from a small list. The character can gain additional weapon proficiencies with training or simply by leveling up. [/QUOTE]
