Hi, I recently stumbled upon the Gloomblade archetype, and some wording in it proved to be somewhat confusing to me.
I've been looking about for a while now seeing what other people think but I stumble upon endless discussions with neither side coming to an agreement, the wording in question follows:
Shadow Weapon Training (Ex)
At 5th level, a Gloomblade gains weapon training, except that he does not select a weapon group; instead, the bonus applies to the shadow weapons he creates. A Gloomblade does not select additional weapon groups as he gains levels.
My question being, for the purpose of the AWT feat, as I could see that as the only way to get AWT options in, and some requiring a weapon group to be chosen to apply the effects of that option to, do shadow weapons count as a group?
On one hand I hear people adamantly saying no, because you do not select a weapon group, therefore you have none.
On the other, people say because it says you do not select additional groups as you level, additional being the key word here, it is implied "shadow weapons" is a group, and your only group.
The best advice I found so far was "Make it a GM call", which is doable but in my group we like to keep it as "fair play" as possible,
and this is proving to be a difficult one to make a call on.
Sorry for the long post, and I hope I was sufficiently clear.
Thank you for your time!
