Exotic Weapons

Simple, Martial, and Exotic Weapons

Anybody but a druid, monk, rogue, or wizard is proficient with all simple weapons. Barbarians, fighters, paladins, and rangers are proficient with all simple and all martial weapons. Characters of other classes are proficient with an assortment of mainly simple weapons and possibly also some martial or even exotic weapons. A character who uses a weapon with which he or she is not proficient takes a –4 penalty on attack rolls.

Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies “and,” either type (player’s choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies “or,” or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies “/.” The weapon deals nonlethal damage rather than lethal damage. Reach weapon. Double weapon.
