Weapon Proficiency:

     A character must be trained to wield a weapon proficiently by someone who knows that specific weapon, or there will be the following adjustments:

 

     -25 offense
     -25 defense

 

Note:
     The -25 penalty will lower by 1 for every battle in which you wield an untrained weapon
     If the weapon is used only to parry, only the defensive pentalty will decrease by 1 per battle.
     If the blade is used only to strike, only the offensive pentalty will decrease by 1 per battle.

 

Example:
     If you use a weapon without being trained to use it, you will have a penalty of -25 to strike and a -25 to parry with it. If you use it to both strike and parry, you will increase your proficiencly in that blade by +1 per battle.

 

Special note:
     If there is a character present who is proficient in a weapon you are not trained in, you will be able to use this weapon proficiently in 25 lessons. Remember that each lesson must take no less than 1 hour.

 

Note:
     It will still cost the 1 Modification Point to train in that weapon, even though you are being trained in its use.
