No, I want them to burn the skill points. If they want to learn extra weapons, in reality that's just as hard as learning a new language or other skill.
Fighters and paladins are the only classes that start with prof in ALL martial weapons...fighters because that's what they are training for at level 1, and paladins because it's a gift when they answer The Call. All other full BAB classes start with a number of martial weapons equal to their starting skill points.
3/4 BAB classes start with Simple Weapon Prof, and Prof in 2 weapons from the list permitted to their class (which might be martial, monk, cleric, rogue, etc). They can spend skill points to learn more weapons on their list.
1/2 classes start with Simple Weapon Prof and 1 weapon. They can burn skill points if they want more.
The reason for this is very simple. It is to nobody's benefit to give weapon profs away for free, and make spellcasting and magical devices hard to get. If other classes have to spend skill points on UMD just for a chance to use common magical devices, then it follows that anyone wanting to learn a new weapon should at least have to burn skill points on it.
And, it gives Fighters a level 1 great benefit.
After level 1, if you multiclass into a class, you get the Prof 'eligibility', but you have to spend the skill points if you actually want a weapon. This is akin to a multiclassing new wizard not getting the free spells and cantrips that a level 1 wizard does, and so forth.

Have you really never seen a professional fight? Or even a LARP scrap? The preposterous thing is having to wait so long in your adventuring career.

Well some weapons maybe, but something like a claymore... don't forget tht they are swinging with full strength, not just small quick hits.
In case it has not been mention shurikens(throwing stars, ninja stars) suck.
10 foot throwing range, you can't reuse them, they cost a feat, and the damage sucks.

Even claymores are not that difficult. They're surprisingly lightweight for their size.
Shurikens are drawn as ammmunition. If you are a monk who just killed the goblin in front of you, but are too far away from the next to take a 5' step to close the gap, you can pull out some shurikens and finish your FoBs without taking the quick draw feat.In case it has not been mention shurikens(throwing stars, ninja stars) suck.

That is a very limited case and later in the game when things get reach you need a ranged attack that goes farther than 10 feet before getting penalties.

I like using Bone or Obsidian Shuriken with the Splintering weapon feat. They are thrown weapons, and who cares if you destroy them? They are treated as ammunition so they are destroyed anyway.
You can't make bone shuriken, it specifically calls out as being only for melee weapons. Obsidian is more iffy but I'd allow it since you can use it for arrows.

I'm pretty sure You can have Bone Shuriken as you can have bone arrowheads:
Light and one-handed melee weapons, as well as two-handed weapons that deal bludgeoning damage only, can be crafted from bone. Hafted two-handed weapons such as spears can be crafted with bone tips, as can arrowheads. Other two-handed weapons cannot be constructed of bone.
If not, you can have them made of bronze no question, which also has the fragile quality, which makes it valid for the feat.
1d4 bleed damage per hit on a flurry can be very deadly.
The Battle Ladder is a terrible weapon but a decent ladder.
Actually, at only 4 feet in length, it's not that great of a ladder...
