How to get better at using weapons eg. becomming expert or better


Rules Discussion


At 7th lvl. the barbarian gains weapon specialization dealing extra dmg with weapons in witch you have expert proficiency.....
But how do you increas proficiency in weapons from trained to expert?

For a Barbarian your 5th level class ability, Brutality, advances your weapons to Expert.


It seems only "martial" class get to advance e.g. champions, rangers, barbarians, monks (unarmed only). Rogues don't get better than trained for example, so the only way to go beyond that seems to take the fighter dedication then Diverse Weapon Expert (level 12!) to become expert. It doesn't look like you can get better than that. Only fighters can advanced to legendary.

Rogues get to master at level 13 (Master Tricks class feature), most everyone else gets at least expert with starting weapons at level 11 or so. Even wizards get expert with their starting weapons.


My bad, you're right, I totally missed that. Rogues get expert at 5 and master at 11. I was looking for "Weapon expertise" as for the other martial classes, it's Weapon Tricks for Rogues...


All of which makes me annoyed Alchemists don't get to Master with bombs. Or with simple and bombs.
Amusingly any class with Martial at Master or Legendary are more accurate with bombs. Though that does sort of make some sense. They're skilled at hitting with them. But they're not as skilled as the alchemist in~how~ to use them. (but I just wish they got Master with bombs, and Legendary with the DC)
It is still sort of funny though.
