So, I noticed an interesting interaction and was curious if it was intended.

Say I make a Dwarven Wizard, and as a result, he starts with a clan dagger.

That Wizard is trained, for attacks, in specific weapons (not groups mind you). These are Club, Crossbow, Dagger, Heavy Crossbow, and Staff.

If said wizard takes Dwarven Weapon familiarity, he is trained in the battle axe, pick, and warhammer. Additionally, he gains access to dwarven weapons (I assume this means they are common to him) and they essentially drop down a weapon category for proficiency purposes(martial to simple, advanced to martial)

The interaction. Because a wizard is trained in the weapon dagger, he is not trained in the clan dagger, as these are not the same weapon. Dwarven weapon familiarity does not change this, as it doesn't grant specific training to dwarven weapons, only access and a change in weapon's categories.

So the end result is that your dwarven wizard, who starts with a clan dagger, is not trained in it - is that intended?
