Exotic Weapon Proficiency

Syntax: train 'exotic weapon proficiency' <particular weapon> 

Some weapons require special training to be able to use effectively, such as
a bastard sword or a spiked chain. For these weapons, it is necessary to
learn an 'exotic weapon proficiency' to be able to use them effectively.

The following weapons are classed as exotic:

* bastard sword * bola * boomerang * dwarven war axe
* fishing net * gladiator net * jo * kama
* katana * lasso * naginata * nunchaku
* sai * scourge * shuriken * siangham
* spiked chain * tonfa * whip

A character using one of these weapons without having also having the 'exotic
weapon proficiency' appropriate to that particular weapon (not the
appropriate weapon skill) will be considered to be unskilled with that
weapon.

* Nota Bene: The cat-o'-nine tails is now called a scourge.

* Note that if the weapon is not on your class weapons list naturally, you
will also need to train the standard weapon proficiency (such as whips),
before benefitting from an exotic weapon proficiency (such as scourge).
