Druids and custom/magic weapons with no proficiency *FIXED*

[DAbhandUK]

(Update by me 02 Jun 07: Fixed in 1.1e)
Hi there,

I have a 4th level druid who was given a Keen Sickle.
To do this I created a custom weapon via the "New Magic, Custom or Masterwork weapon of size" option on the "Weapons" tab.
I chose the Sickle as the base item and made it a +1 and then added "Keen" as a new special ability.
However, when the weapon shows in the tab the druid is no longer proficient in it.

Is this correct or have I mis-read a rule somewhere?

It seems to also happen to any of the druidic weapon types as soon as I change it into a masterwork or some sort of custom type weapon.
If I chose the plain sickle, everything is fine with the Druid being proficient in it.
I've fixed this by over-feating the druid by adding "Simple Weapon Proficiency, Sickle" and this resolves my particular issue.

Brilliant product, keep on with the updates!

Hi there,


I think this is the same bug that's affecting someone else on these
forums. Sorry for the inconvenience - we'll fix it in the next update.
