I have played only a handful of wizards that managed to get to the point where Bond Conversation was accessible, but on my universalists where I thought it'd be extremely strong I noticed it seems to be rather restricted, to the extent that I can't really utilize it and am considering other benefits for lvl 8 instead.

Any good examples would be warmly welcomed.

So I have been bothered by this since the earlier parts of play tests. All the other casters have simple proficiency and ultimately also are not really bothered by it because pure casters, well, cast.

However, archetypes and their requirements for having martial weaponry sometimes, such as hell knights (of certain orders, not everyone wants to be order of the gate.), cause a unique issue strictly that only the wizard suffers.

Because Wizard is the only class that doesn't have simple weapon proficiency, EVEN after the APG playtest has been dropped, it has to pay double on feat taxes to qualify for martial training.

This is beyond asinine and seems to go against the nature of how 2e has been evolving. I also have seen no one justify why this SHOULD be the case, mechanically.

I can only imagine this getting worse as time goes on as more archetypes come out with requirements for specific weaponry.
