Human Racial Feature Weapon Training suggestion

[phoenixhawk]

I have a suggestion for the Human Weapon Training racial feature. There are currently several classes that make this feature useless (i.e. Barbarian, Fighter, Paladin, and Ranger). I would suggest if you choose one these classes as a Human the Weapon Training racial feature would act like the Weapon Focus feat instead of giving proficiency for a selected Martial Weapon.

You could also choose to allow them to select one Exotic Weapon proficiency at DMs discretion

[Montalve]

i would go to give them one exotic weapon of the culture they come

like a bladded scar for varisian, or a temple sword or kopesh for Osirians

(yeah yeah yeah i know i shouldn't mix the Setting and the rules.. meh

As a house-rule, i let my player´s choose between Weapon Focus or Exotic Weapon Proficiency.

Only if their class give all the marcial proficiency (barbarian, fighter, ranger).

Sorry for my english :P

I would personally stick with the Weapon Focus route - exotic weapons have too many special abilities or advantages - I think it's more balanced, if you're going to add anything, to add Weapon Focus for a simple or martial weapon. We did that with humans in our own pathfinder playtest in West Michigan, and I think it worked well.

Yes add me on.

That idea has merit and I will try and implement it on my new campaign, the DM has just calmed down when he found out my human wizard is going to wield a great Axe so I dont wanna hit him with too much too soon.

Does this count for elves as well? Since there bonus weapons are also useless to martial classes.

[Arakhor]

It's a freebie, people. Let's not try to wring out said freebie and beat it up until it provides equally for all people. Elves have training in swords and bows, so why should a fighter who has also learnt all the other weapons be especially good with them? One implies universal education (3rd Ed), whilst the other suggests a natural talent (2nd Ed). Let's be clear on which it is.
