Trading a dwarven urgosh for a spiked chain is way too strong for a trait.


Well, in the specific case of the dwarf, this wouldn't grant them proficiency, just familiarity. They still have to invest in a class/use a feat/whatever to gain proficiency. Some weapons are going to be better than others for certain things, and I see no reason to discard the idea just because it makes it easier for some players to optimize their build. I suppose I could disallow exotic weapons entirely, as you did with your Unorthodox Tutelage trait, but I really don't see this as overpowered. I can see perhaps adding in that exception for lower-powered games. In rogue or wizard-level games there are enough ways of nabbing proficiency that I don't see this standing that far out from any of the others. Spanambula (talk) 15:37, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
