Step 8: Proficiencies
Initial Weapon Proficiencies is the number of weapon proficiency slots that a character receives at level 1. Initial non-weapon proficiencies is the number of non-weapon proficiency slots that a character starts with.
# of Levels, both for non-weapon and weapon proficiencies, shows how quickly a character will gain new proficiency slots. A new slot is gained at every level divisible by the number listed (ex: a warrior gains a new weapon slot at levels 3,6, and 9, etc).
Penalties is the modifier to attack rolls when a character fights with a weapon that he's not proficient with.
Group ---------- Weapon Proficiencies --------- ----------- Non Weapon Proficiencies
----------------- Initial --- # of Levels ------ Penalties ------ Initial --- # of Levels
Warrior-------------4----------3------------------2-------------3----------3
Wizard-------------1----------6------------------5-------------4----------3
Priest--------------2----------4------------------3-------------4----------3
Rogue--------------2----------4------------------3-------------3----------4
Most proficiency groups for weapons are left to the DM. Standard categories (and relations) are:
Hand Axe, Battle Axe
Short Bow, Long Bow, Composite Bow
Heavy Crossbow, Light Crossbow
Dagger, Knife
Glaive-Guisarme, Guisarme-Voulge, Glaive, Halberdm Bardiche, Volgue, Guisarme

Footman's Mace, Horseman's Mace, Morning Star, Flail, Hammer, Club
