Elven Curve Blade proficiency

[Zin Z'arin]

I'm building an Elf Investigator in HeroLab for PFS play. He doesn't have any feats or traits that affect weapon proficiency. Here is my problem: HeroLab seems to think that this character would be proficient with an Elven Curve Blade (i.e. it's showing it as an available choice for purchase when I filter by "valid items").

Investigator doesn't have proficiency with ECB that I can tell, nor does it have proficiency with Martial weapons (so Elven Weapon Familiarity doesn't do it).

Is HeroLab just wrong here, or is there something I'm not seeing?

(Note: I was planning him as a rapier wielder anyway, so it's not a big deal if he can't wield an ECB)

Hero lab is just wrong here as far as i know

If you want it, you could take it as an heirloom weapon. and get it masterwork transformed and enchanted later.

Look under the

Weapon Familiarity:

Elves are proficient with longbows (including composite longbows), longswords, rapiers, and shortbows (including composite shortbows), and treat any weapon with the word “elven” in its name as a martial weapon.

racial trait.

They are not proficient. They treat any weapon with “elven” in the name as martial.

Ah, my bad. I deleted my original post as I clearly misremembered the rule.
