So I'm building a ratfolk Rouge and I have a question. The tailblade is a martial weapon, do rouges would not get it as a weapon proficiency, however in the weapon description it says:
"A ratfolk wielding a tailblade can make a tail attack, adding its Strength modifier to the tailblade's damage. Ratfolk are considered proficient with such attacks and can apply feats or effects appropriate to natural attacks to tail attacks made with a tailblade."
SO are Ratfolks proficient with the tailblade even though it does not say so in their Race description like it does for other races with Weapon proficiency?
To me, the appearance is that it's considered a natural attack (even though it's a manufactured weapon doing the damage), and a creature is considered proficient automatically with its natural attacks.
So I would say yes. It's an odd situation, and it seems like it would have been better to have included the proficiency in the race description rathre than the weapon.
