-====== Weapon Proficiency ======+====== Weapons and Warfare ======
  
-Weapon Proficiency signifies that a character has chosen a path to train in the use of weapons. That isn't to say that they can't choose to train in the Arcane, Divine, and Martial Arts as well, but generally Skill Points make it prohibitively expensive to vary one's training too much and still make the most of the specialties available beneath it.+Weapons and Warfare signifies that a character has chosen a path to train in the use of weapons and in the art of making war. That isn't to say that they can't choose to train in the Arcane, Divine, and Martial Arts as well, but generally Skill Points make it prohibitively expensive to vary one's training too much and still make the most of the specialties available beneath it.

 +Characters with this knowledge are assumed to have had military training, either as a soldier or in a militia or army. They have learned various techniques to take advantage of cases where they have superior numbers as well as when they are vastly outnumbered. All attacks when allies are present are made with a +1 die advantage. All defenses vs force attacks are made with a +1 die advantage as well when allies are present. This advantage is nullified if the character cannot communicate with allies either visually or verbally.
