Weapon proficiency and weapon focus

Post by Aegir » Thu Jan 29, 2004 11:54 pm

I was wondering, can you train weapon focus on a weapon skill you aquired with the weapon proficiency feat?

Ahh well, this isnt exactly an answer, but maybe it will help.

Whenever you have an old character, and you get a weapon skill before they revamped the guilds and took it off the list, its stated below in the other catagory. I think weapon focus does something like this. Now, the question is...can you train weapon proficiency on these other catagory weapon skills?

Thats what weapon proficiency does, it allows you to train a weapon that your guild doesn't normally allow, such as double-edged blades for a priest. So the better question would be, can you train weapon focus on one of those weapons listed as "other skills known"?

Weapon focus gives you a better skill with a certain weapon, which improves your damage potential with that weapon.
