Not being proficient


Advice


i will be playing a goblin alchemist and i want to use the Urumi, is there any way for me to reduce the non proficiency penalty for using it as a 1st level character?

my DM has already banned the heirloom trait.

Nope. You are either proficient, or you are not. What does the heirloom trait do?


it makes you proficient with one weapon ( not that type of weapon just the one you use) and makes it masterworked and gives a +1 trait bonus to attack

That is better than some feats. I guess you would have to spend a feat to be proficient with it. Thanks for the info.


no problem, my real problem is that while i am going to be using my bombs for the most part, i don't want to be worthless in melee combat.


Go with a spear.

Or ask if you can use a trait to get semi-proficiency or something.

It is for an individual weapon only. So not "longsword", but "this old longsword with a red scabbard i inherited"

Have "Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Urumi" be your 1st level feat


exotic weapon proficiency requires a base attack of +1

D'oh! I fail...

Well, then it can't be done as an alchemist. /shrug
