Message: <blockquote data-quote="Caliban" data-source="post: 48701" data-attributes="member: 284">Please explain what practical difference there is then, because I'm not seeing it. That's what the feat represents: adding the weapon to your list of weapons.  Fighters do indeed have dozens of Martial Weapon Proficiency's. All the feat represents is knowing how to use the weapon properly. Having the weapon on your class weapon liste represents knowing how to use the weapon properly.What exactly is the difference? They may not have intended the monk to have an advantage, or they have intended exactly that.   I'm not going to worry about it until I read the actual class prerequisites.They could easily state the prerequisite as: "You must gain proficiency in three exotic weapons beyond those granted by your class or classes."  in the actual book. If they don't make such a distinction in the class itself, then the monk will indeed qualify, because the rules make no such distinction, as far as I can tell. And I fail to see how having it on your class list is any different than having the EWP for it. If you can point to something in the rules that makes them different,   I'd like to see it. What is the difference between an "actual" EWP and knowing how to use it because your class training taught it to you? As far as I can tell, the EWP just represents you training for it on your own time.</blockquote>
