Weapons Proficiency

Weapons Proficiency is a mechanic representing skill with a particular weapon type in Close Combat.

Mechanics
Characters gain a positive modifier to Close Combat rolls if they are proficient in the weapon they are using. There are five levels as shown in the table below.

Proficiency Points
Characters begin with three proficiency points which they may distribute among weapon types as they wish. This means that they can start with Novice-level skill in three types, Novice-level in one and Apprentice-level in another, or Competent-level in one.

They may gain extra points at the GM's discretion for remarkable actions.
