Combat Proficiencies

Combat Proficiencies have an effect on how a Character acts in Combat. Whilst some Traits also have an effect on combat (such as Ambidextrous), Combat Proficiencies ONLY effect a character's abilities in Combat.

There are several types of Combat Proficiency - Weapon Proficiencies, Unarmed Proficiencies, Fighting Styles, Defence Styles and Martial Arts.

Characters gain a number of free Combat Proficiencies from their Class. They also gain a number of Combat Proficiency points from their Level. Bonus Points may also be spent on Combat Proficencies.

Weapon Proficiencies

Weapon Proficiencies reflect the Character's capability to wield a given weapon group. Each Level has a name, though most characters are only able to attain up to Level 2 - Weapon Expertise. Warrior Classes, instead, are able to obtain Weapon Specialization as an alternative Level 2 and then progress beyond this. Unless a Character is specifically noted as being able to attain a level of Weapon Proficiency beyond or instead of Expertise, they cannot attain it.

A character may increase a Weapon Proficiency by spending Combat Proficiency Points or Bonus Points on it. They may also Train.

Non-Proficiency and Familiar Weapons

If a character lacks a Proficiency, they are presumed to be Non-Proficient and thus suffer the Non-Proficient Penalty - if they have a class, they use the penalty listed for that class. If not, they use -2 if they are a warrior-like creature, -4 if they are not.

Some weapons are similar in use to other weapons - a Light Crossbow and a Heavy Crossbow operate similarly. If a Character is Non-Proficient with a Weapon but it is considered Familiar to a Weapon Group they are Proficient with, halve the Non-Proficiency Penalty.

Weapon Groups

A character can obtain Proficiency in any of the following Weapon Groups. Other Groups may be added at the DM's approval for unusual or exotic weapons.
