Mahrdol, see my answer to Vromax's post, 4 posts above yours.

This is from the core book. Unless there is errata I couldn't find


Weapon Familiarity: Half-orcs are proficient with greataxes and falchions and treat any weapon with the word “orc”
in its name as a martial weapon.


The way I read that and no matter the class a 1/2 orc can wield greataxe and falchion. Any other weapon with Orc in its name like a Orc Double Axe would be usable by a fighter type class that has martial weapon feat.

You'll need to tell me more about your character for me to diagnose the problem. I just created an Elf Pal 2/Rog 1 with DEX 18 and Leather Armor, and he has an AC of 16.

I can make the AC 15 if I give the character has enough gear to put him at medium encumbrance - medium encumbrance gives you a Max DEX of +3, as if you were wearing armor (pg 171, right-hand column).

That is not exactly the way I see it.

from core boook

Weapon Familiarity: Halflings are proficient with slings and treat any weapon with the word “halfling” in its
name as a martial weapon.

1. There is no weapon called a halfling Sling
2. There is a Sling in the simple weapon table.(Normally wizards can't use this but a halfling wizard could, hero lab shows it can't)
3. There is a Sling Staff, Halfling in the Exotic weapon table (this is probably the weapon he meant which is considered a Martial weapon to halflings that halfling Rogues can't use unless they take a feat but a halfling fighter could use without taking a feat.)

I apologize - I didn't take a good look at the rule and code before replying. There's currently nothing in the half-orc race that gives them those weapon proficiencies, and that'll be fixed in the next version.

I presumed he was talking about the Staff Sling, Halfling.

Not a bug. Half-orcs treat greataxes, falchions, and any weapon with 'orc' in the name as martial weapons. Druids only get specific weapons proficiencies, not including any of those or martial weapons.

[FifthWanderer]

I read it that they treat them as maritial weapons, and gain proficiency with them if they are proficient with martial weapons.

Sling is not working correctly with halfling wizard.

greataxes, falchions are already martial weapons so what you said makes no sense...

no big deal there is no need to apologize. I really don't like how the Weapon familiarities and a lot of other rules are written.

It would have been a lot better if they would have said

Weapon Familiarity: Half-orcs gain weapon proficiency feats with greataxes and falchions. Weapons with the word “orc”
in its name is treated as a martial weapon.
