Question about Advanced Weapon Training - Weapon Specialist


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

under "Advanced Weapon Training" we get the ability,

Weapon Specialist (Ex):
The fighter selects a number of combat feats that he knows equal to his weapon training bonus with the associated weapon group. The selected feats must be ones that require the fighter to choose a type of weapon (such as Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization), and the fighter must have chosen weapons that belong to the associated fighter weapon group. The fighter is treated as having the selected feats for all the weapons in the associated weapon group that are legal choices for those feats. The fighter is also considered to have those feats with these weapons for the purpose of meeting prerequisites.

Would "Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Combat)" be considered a valid feat choice?

Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Combat):

Choose one type of exotic weapon, such as the spiked chain or whip. You understand how to use that type of exotic weapon in combat, and can utilize any special tricks or qualities that exotic weapon might allow.

in other words could a 9th level fighter with Weapon Training in Heavy Blades be able to use one of his 2 Combat Feat choices to choose Exotic Weapon Proficiency - Bastard Sword?


Looks like it works to me. Exotic weapon proficiency meets all the criteria.

Actually I think I missed this part,

So, if I already had "Exotic Weapon Proficiency - Katana" I could be considered to have "Exotic Weapon Proficiency - Bastard Sword"


2 people marked this as a favorite.

I have to say, Weapon Specialist sounds more like Weapon Generalist.

That's how I read it.
