ugh these 1e books are worse than the Shadowrun books.

Which one has the description of the weapon profs?

I searched the DMG and the PHB and nothing. I need to find the dunguneering one again.

[TristenC]

are you looking for Weapon Prof/specializations or for Non-Wep Prof?

NWPs are in Dungeoneer's Survival guide and Wilderness Survival Guide

Weapon stuff is in the PHB, a little in DMG i think

Weapon specialization (as well as a copy of weapon stuff) is in Unearthed Arcana

[Nocturno]

The specializations so I can see what I can do with this long bow.

Thanks!

[Nocturno]

Ok, longbow specialization takes 3, but it was mentioned in my sheet thread that 4 would make it better. Not sure where to find that.

And having 2 in long sword that is also escaping me...

My searchingfu is failing today.

[TristenC]

Unearthed Arcana only mentions double specialization for melee weapons, so it must be a custom rule spike is using.

The 2 in longsword, I'm not sure; unless it has to do with spike saying you could trade extra nwps for wps?

[Nocturno]

Yeah 2 for 1 on the NWP into WP.

Im pretty sure in 2e putting more points in gets you more bonus, but I can't seem to find the 2 points in Longsword to do anything, or the 4th point in Longbow.

Maybe custom bonus to make feel OP like the character would want to feel like.

She seems to be a snobby sort lol.

[TristenC]

2 slots for a melee weapon is specialization. (1 slot to get the wep, 2nd slot for specialization, a 3rd slot gives you double specialization.) 2e doesn't have double specialization as it is outlined in 1e. 2e Player's Option Combat and Tactics has graduated levels of mastery (Mastery, High mastery and Grand Mastery) above and beyond specialization; but the lowest of these requires a character to be at least 5th lvl

[Nocturno]

I drum my fingers on my desk and wonder what I am thinking about...

Maybe NWPs in 2e lol... you can keep adding to those right?

Ok, 2 in long sword specialization.

Not sure about 4 into Bow.

[TristenC]

yeah, 2e NWPs can be boosted by adding more slots. There are ways to do that with WPs, but there are restrictions. It takes 2 extra slots to specialize in a bow, so Regular bow specialization would cost 3 slots (1 for reg, 2 more for specialization) and 'double specialization' costs another one I suppose so that'd be your 4...

I'm not sure charming one of our hosts was the wiest thing ever done, but someone had dropped in that the bog-dwellers are cannibals..
Which is just unfounded rumour, then shame but hey. Howvwer, I've been fretting that if they are cannibals, then being invited FOR dinner potentially takes on a rather different meaning.

[Nocturno]

Apparently im just being obtuse... about 130 degrees outta whack lol

But I only read about doubling up on melee weps wheee lol

[spike]

Longbow specialization
4 - double specialized +2, +3 to hit/dmg, #attacks: 2/1

nailing shot - you gain the ability to nail an opponent to a wall, a tree, or you nail their arm to their body using arrows with a -4 penalty to make such shots (reduced by dex and +'s to hit from str)

yeah sorry about the confusion I do have quite a bit of custom rules and such. Busy week as I'm in the process of selling my condo and trying to relocate to Portland. Kinda hectic/chaotic IRL.

[Nocturno]

Woohoo! Thx spike.

[spike]

No problem.

When you devout more wp points towards specialization you'll get more abilities like trick shot, and special attacks. Eventually winding up with 4/1 which means you can kill lots of things quickly from afar.

Just an idea for Trist: I'd also specialize in throwing dagger. Imagine being able to hurl 4+ daggers a round and each one having the ability to strike a vital organ.
