Tengu weapon familiarity

[aobst128]

"You've trained with a blade and other tengu weapons ever since you hatched. You gain access to khakkaras. Additionally, choose two weapons from the sword group. You can choose from among all common martial swords, plus the katana, temple sword, and wakizashi. For the purpose of determining your proficiency, that weapon is a simple weapon, and if the weapon isn't common, you gain access to it. If you are trained in all martial weapons, you add common advanced swords to the swords you can choose from."

So, you can make a martial sword simple for proficiency, then it says if you're trained in all martial weapons you can pick from advanced swords. Would this mean that you could make an advanced sword simple for proficiency? Typically, it would make it martial but it might be missing that part of the text.

That is certainly what it reads as to me. If your Tengu is trained in all martial weapons, they could choose an Aldori Dueling Sword (advanced weapon and uncommon) gain access to it and treat it as a simple weapon for proficiency calculations. And then pick a second sword to do the same thing with again.

Pretty handy. Although the advanced sword would need to be common looks like.

Of which, there are exactly zero options: All eight advanced weapons in the Sword group are Uncommon.

Future proofing then? Or certain weapons are common in specific areas like the aldori sword in the broken lands I guess.

That's not exactly true: Hook Sword: "Access: If the player character come from a region in Tian Xia, this weapon is common"

Consider that weapon access may be relevant until you hit the shifting rune.

Then you are done.

You don't have to keep the shifting rune, renouncing to another useful rune, but just getting to know the shape of the weapon and make another one through blacksmithing.

Ofc you can speed up things being from a specific region.

... oh, I see just now proficiency is involved, so this won't work. Too bad for tengus.

Kinda strange also that the last part of the feat doesn't work, as there are no common advanced weapon ( rather than a problem with the rariry, considering they are advanced weapons after all, it seems more a feat description issue ).

All uncommon swords are common in Absalom. ;D
