Weapon Knacks

[Randolpho]

I also think this is an interesting house rule. However, I would argue against modifying the skill system for it, and I don't think it should be one per simple weapon, either.

I would argue instead that you create a Weapon Knack Feat that replaces Martial Weapon Proficiency and can be taken multiple times (each time granting a different knack applied to a particular weapon type). Classes that start with Martial Weapon Proficiency would get a single instance of Weapon Knack in exchange, and Weapon Knack would be inserted into the Fighter's list of bonus feats.

Vrecknidj, Isn't that #3 in the OP?

Yeah. Unless the weapon is designed that way and works that way in anyone's hands. That's one of the things I was wondering about. Maybe some weird exotic weapon. (If it's exotic is it automatically weird? )

try and get a hold of the Black Company CS,

they have a revamped MW section. Basically there's 6 lvls of MW and different types of bonuses you can get.

it would be perfect for a low-magic setting
