## Proficiency by Class All classes automatically receive [[Simple]] weapon proficiency at Character Creation instead of gaining *Simple* or *Martial* weapons, classes now have a point pool to select between new proficiency categories. Proficiency categories grant proficiency for each weapon within the category when selected. A character with *[[Bladed]]* proficiency is just as devastating with a [[Dagger]] as they are with a [[Greatsword]]. Spending two points on the same category unlocks the *Exotic Proficiency* benefits and weapons under that category. The point pool for weapon category selections can be seen below: ### 5 Proficiency Selections - [[Fighter]] ### 4 Proficiency Selections - [[Barbarian]] - [[Blood Hunter]] - [[Paladin]] - [[Ranger]] - [[Samurai]] ### 3 Proficiency Selections - [[Bard]] - [[Cleric]] - [[Druid]], *Can not take [[Arcane Firearms]] as a selection.* - [[Rogue]], *gain [[Rogue Proficiency]] as a bonus proficiency.* ### 2 Proficiency Selections - [[Artificer]], *gain [[Arcane Firearms]] as a bonus proficiency.* - [[Monk]], *gain [[Fist]] as a bonus proficiency.
