Shapechanger subtype and weapon proficiency


Rules Questions


I have a player who is growing a Gourd Leshy in a game. He has shown me two places online where it says that creatures with the Shapechanger Subtype are “Proficient with its natural weapons, with simple weapons, and with any weapons mentioned in the creature’s description”. Neither of the the descriptions say what book that comes from.

Wile a Leshy with a sling is not exactly game breaking I am curious. Is that wording is from a Paizo source or some sort of odd holdover?

Thank you.

Look it up in the second half of the Creature Types section of any of the six bestiaries.
