Waving Martial Weapon Proficiency for Eldritch Knight


Homebrew and House Rules


Any notable pitfalls in waving or substituting the "proficiency in all martial weapons" requirement for prestige classes in general?

I was thinking of substituting that requirement with Weapon Focus in a martial or exotic weapon.

The idea is to let players who are obviously combat oriented to take combat oriented prestige classes without having to come up with some RP reason why they had to sack a level in Fighter, Barbarian, etc.

The specific examples to why I am asking this are for a "battle sorcerer" and a bard that want to take Eldritch Knight without taking a level in Fighter.


It will enable them to instead of being a full spell level behind, to just be a caster level behind. So they could get more powerful spells quicker.

If you're cool with that though, then it should be fine. If you're not, maybe have EK lose an extra level of casting.
