Rules Questions

Weapon Focus gives a bonus to one weapon, like longsword, or trident, not a weapon group.
If you mean the Fighter "Weapon Training", that should be right under the entry for it.

The list is in the fighter class section of the Core Rulebook.

the fighter class has the weapon group lists. to my knowledge, the weapon focus feat only gives a bonus to a specific weapon, not a weapon group.

You appear to be mixing terms here. Weapon Focus only applies to a single type of weapon (Longbow, Longsword, Greatsword, Sap, etc.) A weapon group is clusters of weapons as detailed in the Fighter Weapon Training.

Does that clear things up for you?


there are two racial feats humans can take to apply the effects of weapon focus, improved critical and spelization ect. to an entire weapon group. I think it martial versitlaty or something.

normal weapon focus only apply to one weapon.

The Core Rule Book lists weapon groups under the the fighter section, I can't remember off the top of my head if the it was listed again in the Adavanced Player's Guide(i'm leaning towards no here), but it was listed in Ultimate Combat and in Ultimate Equipment

The Exchange

Note that the multiple lists should not be a reason for undue stress. As far as I know, nothing was changed... just expanded: weapons that first appeared in later books were simply added to the existing categories. So in the absence of Ultimate Combat or Ultimate Equipment, you can use the list under Fighter without worry.
