What are the ways to get the Weapon Training class feature?


Advice


1 person marked this as a favorite.

So far I've found:

Multiclassing to Fighter for 5 levels
Multiclassing to Rogue Archetype Weapon Expert for 1 level
Getting the Martial Focus feat when you have +5 BAB

Are there any other methods? Hopefully, another Multiclass level 1 thing?


The Sohei Monk and the Myrmidarch and the Arsenal Chaplain all get it.

There might be more.


You can get it in 3 levels of Fighter if you take the Weapon Master archetype. There's also 5th level Warpriest (Molthuni Arsenal Chaplain), Monk (Sohei) 6, and Magus (Myrmidarch) 6.

Note that Weapon Expert Rogue is third party, which can be rather hit and miss on actual in-game applicability depending on format/GM.


The weapon expert rogue is 3p, just FYI. Furthermore, very badly written. 10 weapon groups? if it's 'just like' a fighter, it ends up with +10/+10 to its primary weapon group!?!
And it gets it before fighters do?!?!

A hard sell.

Sohei, 6th level.


haha, yeah, good luck having anyone approve of that rogue.

Yea, I saw it and was like "S@#%" but then remembered that my character is a Ninja and thus unable to multiclass to Weapon Expert.

QQ amirite


Note that while Weapon Master Fighter gets Weapon Training at 3rd level, it gets this with just 1 weapon ever. On the plus side, it let's you take Advanced Weapon Training more often, but again just for that 1 weapon.


The Weapon Master Fighter is pretty much the only Fighter that gets AWT feats quickly enough to matter. Its problem is that it gives up Armor Training, and so doesn't get the AMT feats.


I also forgot to mention that VMC.Fighter also gets Weapon Training (and Armor Training), but takes a long time.


Ninja can get "weapon training" as a "class feature" at level 3.

I mean, Fighters get Weapon Training anyway... So Fighter Archetypes don't add to the list...

The only Weapon Training that Ninja gets access to is the Ninja Trick/Rogue Talent "Weapon Training", which gives you a bonus Weapon Focus feat and is not the same thing as the Fighter "Weapon Training" class feature. Unfortunately, the system has some overused language that can make rules a bit confusing at times.

That is a Ninja Trick, not a class feature. On top of that, the actual class feature is vastly different...


Ninja Tricks are class features.


It's a feature that grants a feat. It is not Weapon Training as per the Fighter class feature...which is specifically called out for Weapon Mastery feats.


There are alternate multi-class features from Pathfinder Unchained that instead of putting levels into different classes, you trade out every other feat in your primary class for class features in a secondary class.

Having a Fighter as a secondary class gives 2 weapon trainings, 2 armor trainings, and Bravery. First weapon training is at level 11.

That's the VMC fighter, mentioned above.
