Simple Weapon Proficiency


(Player's Handbook v.3.5, page 100, DnD 3.5)


[General]


You understand how to use all types of simple weapons in combat (see Table 7-5: Weapons, page 116, for a list of simple weapons).

Benefit


You make attack rolls with simple weapons normally.

Special


All characters except for druids, monks, rogues, and wizards are automatically proficient with all simple weapons. They need not select this feat. A sorcerer or wizard who casts the spell Tenser's transformation on himself or herself gains proficiency with all simple weapons for the duration of the spell.

Normal


When using a weapon with which you are not proficient, you take a -4 penalty on attack rolls.
