A Handbook For Weapon Masters And Weapon Specialists
“I think it's a half-gram heavy on the back end.” Richard B. Riddick, The Chronicles Of Riddick
Disclaimer: This is not a guide to the Weapon Master or Exotic Weapon Master PrCs. This is a guide for any character who wishes to specialise in a particular weapon. The WM and EWM will be included in this.
A Weapon Master (or a Weapon Specialist) is a warrior or other character who has chosen to specialise in a certain weapon, to the neglect of all others. By dedicating him-or-herself to the style and tactics of a chosen weapon, and by learning a number of unique combat techniques with it, the weapon master hopes to become stronger and more powerful than the generalist warrior.
I’ve defined two different versions of this type of character:
Weapon Specialist: This character has taken EWP to gain a powerful weapon, has taken a Proficiency or Weapon Focus feat to gain access to a prestige class, or has simply picked such a thing up over the course of their build. This character has made a small investment in the weapon, but is not otherwise bound by it. They have built to focus on a tactic, and the weapon supports this.
Weapon Master: This character has taken many feats, made a few class-dips, and chosen class features all related to a specific weapon or small group of weapons. The character has invested heavily in this chosen weapon, and is severely limited without it. They have built to focus on the weapon, and the tactics support this.
I’ll use the term weapon master throughout, except where referring to the specialist. Either type can find something useful here, though the point of this guide is to cater to the Master, or to promote the Specialist. These are not to be confused with the Weapon Master or Exotic Weapon Master PrCs, however, or even the Weapon Specialisation or Weapon Mastery feats. There just aren’t enough words left in D&D anymore.
A weapon master or specialist need not be a warrior either. A rogue who’s good with a dagger has just as much right to call himself one, and might even be better with it in the right circumstances (namely in the dark and behind the back). Similarly, a wizard might wish to fulfil the classic image and carry a staff, and defend himself with it when required, or a cleric who smites unbelievers with his deity’s favoured weapon. But generally I’ll talk about warriors. The theory can be adapted for any role, and material exists for all types.
Why Do I Want To Be A Weapon Master?
Because it’s cool, really. That’s all. The genres of fantasy, martial arts, anime and many others are rife with characters who haven chosen to wield one particular type of weapon and become masters of it. It’s Drizzt Do’Urden and his scimitars, Zorro and his rapier, Xena and her chakram, every other character in every other martial arts movie, and any samurai you care to name.
There are other reasons though to follow this path though. Perhaps a certain prestige class you have your eye on requires a Weapon Focus for entry. Take that and you’ve become a weapon specialist. Or maybe a tactic you have in mind works best with a certain weapon, and you’ve taken an EWP for it. Again, a specialist. Perhaps you’ve picked up a feature from somewhere and don’t want it to go waste. On the other hand, you might want your cleric or paladin to wield their deity’s favoured weapon. Or you just can’t imagine a dwarf fighter without an axe.
A weapon master should logically be better with his chosen weapon than with any other. He should logically be better than any warrior who wields any old weapon as it suits him. Well, he should be, but shouldn’t expect to be. A generalist warrior will be more adaptable and have a greater range of tactics. A warrior focusing on and optimising for one or two tactics will be devastatingly effective at them. In the end, the weapon master should have a range of interesting and fun special attacks that he can perform with his weapon that others cannot, making him rather like the generalist, and should be better with his weapon than without.
What This Guide Is
This guide is not meant to be a concise manual to building a weapon master character, or to fully optimising the concept. There are simply too many options and possible styles available, and a very great many weapons that can be chosen. And I’m not very good at the optimizing game. The main purpose of this is to provide an index of special abilities that reward an investment in a specific weapon. The would-be weapon master can search through this to find something he likes. I’ll also talk about general design theory based on things I’ve learnt, either from the boards, by going through the material, or from my own experiences. I won’t however rate the value of most things here.
I’ve selected material based on the criteria that it references a specific weapon or group of weapons. Some things might be obvious, like Power Attack for a two-handed weapon, but as this is not specific, it doesn’t count. I’ve also only mentioned abilities and class features that relate to specific weapons, often missing the entire point of the class or PrC. And I have excluded PrCs that require a weapon specific feat but do not give anything back related to that weapon.
I have ignored the Unarmed strike (and the Natural attack), as it is a style more worthy of entirely separate handbook, and is hardly fitting of the weapon master image (it’s not really a weapon, after all). I have however included many feats that apply to it, due to the benefits of the Aptitude weapon enhancement. I have also included things that relate to Ki Strike, Stunning Fist, Flurry Of Blows and Quivering Palm, as these can be applied to a weapon.
I have ignored things that give simple or martial proficiencies, as these are just too common and easy to acquire, except for where they are somehow out-of-the-ordinary.
The most important part of the weapon master is, of course, the weapon. This is the prime component of all the character’s tactics, and the basis for the entire build. So you want to choose it wisely.
Coolness
Before power and mechanical advantage, the most important aspect of your chosen weapon is its coolness. You want a weapon that you think is really neat, one that suits your character and your style, and one that you can have a fun time describing. You’ve probably seen it in a movie or tv show, a comic or a book, and want to emulate it. Or you just want to be different. On the other hand, perhaps you do just want the mechanical advantage, or have somehow wound up with it as a result of a build idea.
This is subjective of course. To one player, the longsword is boring and bland; to another it is full of retro charm and historical appeal. A katana might be the most awesomest weapon in the world to the fanboy, or overrated and tedious to everybody else. Some might see the heavy flail as brutish and clumsy, others could claim it is a weapon of finesse and subtlety. Meanwhile, the spiked chain has the benefit of being both cool and mechanically superior, and also the most cheesy.
What’s The Alternative?
But the mechanical advantage is always nice to have. Have a look around to see if your concept can be pulled off by a similar but better weapon. A simple weapon is almost always outclassed by a martial weapon, and an exotic weapon is better still. Most weapons can be duplicated in their most important aspects by a superior weapon in another category. A sword is a sword is a sword, in the areas that count.
For example, do you like the dagger, but find the ability to throw it and hide it about your person to be useless to you? Do you find its damage potential to be too low when compared to other weapons? Then consider the kukri (increased threat range), or the short sword (increased damage) or even the elven lightblade (gets both, but is exotic).
But don’t sweat it too much. Follow this path too far and you’ll be back to the spiked chain. You’ve probably already made a choice of style over power, and the style is the key. Many abilities reference a specific weapon anyway, so changing it may cut your options.
Availability
Make sure that your chosen weapon will actually be readily available in the campaign. If you have to rely on looted treasure, and your DM rolls it up, then your obscure exotic weapon will be very hard to come by in kick-ass magical forms. It does you no good to be a master of the Goliath Greathammer if there are no Goliaths in the world, and you’re stuck with a no-better-than-starting-wealth-level version from “somewhere”.
On the other hand, some weapons are as common as muck: 12% of all randomly-rolled common weapons will be longswords. More, actually, as these will be the first weapons most DMs plump for when making stock NPCs, and they should also be common in published modules, or as stock magic items. The same goes for daggers.
Given the right conditions, the common weapon master should accumulate a sizeable golf-bag of his preferred weapons over his career. (Say you’re a “collector”.) By having a choice for any situation, such a character might have a slight advantage. Even on a jailbreak or similar adventure where you start with or are reduced to nothing, it shouldn’t be too hard to find a common weapon once you’ve overpowered the guard.
Unless of course the DM has some kind of fetish, or the campaign is like Planescape: Torment – no swords of any kind to be found anywhere. Or he’s trying to cheat you despite your loud protestations and demands.
Adaptability
It goes against the theme of the weapon master, but focusing on a select family of weapons is possible and can allow you to be more adaptable in what weapons you loot. Many feats and a number of class features apply to several weapons or types of weapons, and others exist to allow you to duplicate your abilities for another weapon.
For example, the Warblade’s Weapon Aptitude (ToB) feature that allows you to retrain your weapon specific feats, and several Eberron racial feats duplicate the WF-chain across a selection of weapons (RoE). Some exotic weapons share Weapon Focus and similar feats with similar martial weapons. Thus you can almost always have a ready replacement if needed.
However, while being adaptable is nice, it doesn’t work for all weapons, and it can take a little more effort and space in the build than you have room for. It is not necessary if specialization is your true goal
The Care And Feeding Of Your Weapon
Upgrading
If availability is a problem, or if you really like the idea, then you may need to dedicate yourself to one particular weapon and get it upgraded over the course of the campaign. There are various ways to do this.
The first is to buddy-up with the party spellcaster and hope he’s taking Craft Magic Arms & Armour and is willing to spend the XP. Alternatively, find and hire an NPC who can do it for you. You might even be a spellcaster yourself.
You could also try a Legacy Weapon (seen in Weapons Of Legacy and elsewhere). By spending treasure, meeting a few prerequisites and going on a few mini-quests, you can unlock and upgrade the weapon’s features, and have it progress alongside you. These do come with penalties however. An Item Familiar (UA), Legendary Weapon (UA) or Weapon Familiar (RoE) are others that will upgrade alongside you.
Another is to do it yourself. The Ancestral Weapon feat (BoED) and some classes and PrCs – Samurai (OA), Psychic Weapon Master (XPH), Kensai (CWar), and a few variants of others – will allow a character to enhance a weapon by spending gold or XP, without needing to be a spellcaster. Others gift a weapon with its own set enhancements.
Don’t Lose It!
You’re a weapon specialist – all your abilities are tied to a single type weapon or perhaps even one specific weapon. So you really, really, really don’t want to lose it. Getting it sundered, disarmed, or eaten by a rust monster once in a while might be good for a laugh at your expense, but if it keeps happening (perhaps your DM in vindictive, or you’re just incredibly unlucky), then you’ll want to invest in protective measures. Consider a locked gauntlet so you can’t be disarmed, or an adamantine weapon to resist sunders, or an ironwood or crystal version that can’t be rusted (though these have their own risks, namely of burning or shattering).
Alternatively, consider class features, spells or powers that let you create or summon a weapon. For example, there’s the Soulknife (XPH), or the Psychic Warrior variant (ME) using the Call Weaponry power (XPH) and many arcane and divine spells. Some are semi-permanent or have a duration long enough to make them a valid weapon choice in their own right. Others are at least a handy back-up. These can also often take care of Availability and Upgrading.
But if availability isn’t a problem, then you might just shrug and loot the next available magic longsword.
Consider your build for a weapon master as an investment. You’ve put a lot of effort into that weapon, and you’ve put all your eggs into one basket. And you want it to pay off, with profit. If you have a +1 greataxe and find a +2 greatsword, then you want a good reason to keep your greataxe. For each feat or PrC, ask yourself if the return is worth the investment. Is Weapon Focus’s +1 to attack really worth spending a feat on?
Optimise your character for the style embodied by your weapon. If you have a reach weapon, then focus on battlefield control. If it’s a tripping weapon, then become a tripper. A two-handed high-damage weapon implies heavy-duty bashing. If, on the other hand, your chosen weapon asks for no particular tactic, such as the longsword, then give it one, say by the special attack feats, and by how you choose to use it.
You need feats. Lots of feats. You can never have enough feats when you’re a weapon master. These are needed for proficiencies, the Weapon Focus chain, and for all the others that enhance your tactics or give special attacks, and for access to the best weapon master PrCs. If you can, take some Flaws (UA) and try to play a race that gives a bonus feat (ie. a Human). Play a class that gives plenty of bonus feats, like the Fighter, or to a lesser degree, the Psychic Warrior.
Style & Flavour
First, consider the flavour of your character and the style of its combat and usage of your preferred weapon. Is he a dextrous finesse duelist, or is she a heavy-duty basher? Is he a practical, no-nonsense soldier, or is she a mystical, meditating martial artist? Build according to your vision of the character for the most satisfying experience.
Flavour is however mutable. The Fighter doesn’t have to be soldier, and the Monk doesn’t have to be a mystic. Re-imagine the various classes, feats and PrCs that carry their own flavour to forms suitable for you. Alternatively, leave them the way they are, for the idea of a warrior who travels and picks up many different styles is also a neat one.
Getting Value For Money
You’ve limited yourself to a single weapon and all your power comes from it, so you want to get the most out of it. Use it in as many different ways and with as many different tactics as possible, and remember to make use of each often. Squeeze every last drop of usefulness out of it.
For example, if you like the dagger, even as a melee weapon, then throw it when needed, and take advantage of its small size to conceal them around your body. Consider grappling, where you can use your preferred weapon and most others can’t. Or if the heavy flail is your thing, then remember to use it to disarm your enemy in addition to the trips and flat-out brutal smashing.
Don’t Try Too Hard
But if you try too much, you’ll achieve too little. There is rarely room in a build to focus on every little thing, especially if you weapon has a lot of features. So don’t completely optimize for a tactic embodied by your weapon if it’s ultimately not your thing and won’t be effective or commonly used by you. Focus on the more effective options, and just keep the others in mind and make sure you don’t suck at them when you need them.
Neat Tricks
Aptitude & Affiliation:
There are two ways of doing this. Firstly, there is the Aptitude weapon enhancement (+1) from the Tome Of Battle. This lets you use any weapon-specific feat you have with the aptitude weapon. The second is a Rank 4 Affiliation (+30) with a church of a god with the War domain, from Complete Champion, which lets you apply any feat that normally applies to a single weapon to all weapons with the same proficiency and damage type.
These can make building a decent weapon master terribly easy and incredibly powerful. Just take any feat that you like that you can qualify for and obtain, for any weapon, and use it with your favoured weapon. These might include the various feats that relate to unarmed strikes, opening up a wide range of special abilities.
For example, consider the outcome of combining the Lightning Mace feat (gain a free attack if you threaten a crit when wielding two light maces) and a pair of +X aptitude keen kukris (15-20 threat range) - plenty of extra attacks.
However, the wordings of these are vague. Aptitude mentions “a particular type of weapon”, while the examples are from the Weapon Focus tree. It is unclear what sort of weapon “type” is allowable (Damage? Usage? Proficiency?). The War Affiliation is clearer about how it works, but neither specifies which feats may be used and which may not. And it is unclear whether unarmed strikes even count at all. A CustServ ruling found here limits both to the Weapon Focus tree, but this is of course disputed. RAI seems to go one way, RAW can be pushed the other. I’ve completed this guide on the assumption that it does, and included all the unarmed strike feats as a result, but you should check this with your DM before they roundly house-rule against it.
Don’t dip into a medium/low BAB class just to pick up Weapon Focus as a bonus feat. You’ve just lost a point of BAB for a net attack gain of nothing. BAB is more important than any other attack bonus; it gives you multiple attacks and helps qualify for many feats and PrCs. Unless you wish to stick with the class, or are gaining something else that will pay off later, or can see no other option with multiclassing restrictions, just take a level of Fighter or something.
Don’t take two useless feats to gain access to a PrC to get back a bonus feat you could have taken anyway. Only do this if you plan to stick with the PrC or are somehow picking the feats up anyway.
Common Paths To Weapon Mastery
Weapon Focus Chain:
This character (usually a Fighter) concentrates on the chain of feats that begins in the PHB and ends in the PHB2, namely: Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Greater Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Specialization, Weapon Mastery and Weapon Supremacy. Unfortunately, it’s not very good.
At low levels, the slight increase to attack or damage from WF or WS might be nice, but at higher levels they are easily replaced and overwhelmed by the benefits of magical items, buffing spells and good tactics. Plus, they’re boring, just flat bonuses to attack and damage. While Weapon Mastery and Weapon Supremacy are nice, they lose their shine with the four or five sub-par feats needed to get there.
They are slightly more desirable if you have no treasure for enhancements or are on a Vow of Poverty, or if for some reason you have a low attack bonus or damage output. Weapon Specialization virtually doubles the damage potential of weak weapons like the whip, net, shuriken or a gauntlet. Crossbows also benefit from WS more than most other weapons, as they don’t have an easy source of bonus damage.
Consider these carefully, and ask yourself if the bonuses or Weapon Supremacy are really worthwhile. However, WF and WS are prerequisites for most things, so you’ll probably want to get at least these two before branching out. See if you can pick up some of these feats for free by dipping.
Basic Builds:
Fighter 18: The easiest way to get all of the WF-chain, and the only class that gets honest access to all them. Plus it also has plenty of other feats to spare.
Swashbuckler / Fighter with Daring Warrior feat: Stack the two classes to qualify for the WF-chain. Too bad it’s two poor classes and without a lot of feat-slots left. Balance Swashbuckler class features versus Fighter feats to find the right balance for you. (Also consider a dip with Rogue with the Daring Outlaw feat, or use Assassin's Stance, to add in Sneak Attack options)
Ninja / Fighter with Martial Stalker feat: Stack the two classes to qualify for the WF-chain. Again, too bad it’s two poor classes and without a lot of feat-slots left. Balance Ninja class features versus Fighter feats to find the right balance for you.
Warblade using Weapon Aptitude: Much nicer, with all the goodness of a martial adept, and he gets to retrain his weapon if he likes. Slightly better off for free feat-slots, but not by much. Misses out on Supremacy pre-epic however.
Warblade / Fighter using Weapon Aptitude: As above, but has the option of taking Supremacy at level 20 (take an even Fighter level then). This will miss out on Stance Mastery, which is usually preferable to Weapon Supremacy.
Warblade / Fighter / Bloodstorm Blade using Weapon Aptitude: More of the same as the last two.
Improved Critical:
Usually taken as a part of the WF-chain, this feat would be nice if it wasn’t entirely duplicated by the keen or impact enhancements, or the keen edge spell. If you have time, space and money to enchant it on your weapon(s), or a buddy spellcaster, then get it there. You would need to do it every time you get a new weapon, mind you. If you don’t have the cash, or have other enhancements in mind, or would just prefer to have it ready all the time, for any favoured weapon, then you might like it as a feat. Some DMs house-rule this back to 3.0 days and have it stack with keen, so you might want to check.
Monkery
While most of a Monk’s combat class features apply to his unarmed strikes, it’s possible to get these to work on a weapon instead, and not just a standard special Monk weapon. Flurry Of Blows, Ki Strike, Stunning Fist and Quivering Palm are all possible.
Special Monk Weapon:
Classes: Monk (as standard), OA Monk (additional weapons described below)
Prestige Classes: Sun Soul Monk (light mace)
Feats: Double-Steel Strike (two-bladed sword), Pole Master (a pole arm with reach), Serpent Strike (longspear), Whirling Steel Strike (longsword)
Weapon Enhancements: Aptitude Weapon (and one of the above feats)
These get your weapon classified as a special Monk weapon so that it can qualify for various paths into Flurry Of Blows, Ki Strike, or Stunning Fist. Depending on the build, this isn’t always necessary.
Flurry Of Blows:
Classes: Monk, OA Monk
Prestige Classes: Shou Disciple (any), Sun Soul Monk (light mace)
Feats: Double-Steel Strike (two-bladed sword), Pole Master (a pole arm with reach), Serpent Strike (longspear), Whirling Steel Strike (longsword)
Weapon Enhancements: Aptitude Weapon (and one of the above feats)
Multiple attacks are nice; more opportunities to roll a d20 mean more chances of a critical. The decreased attack hurts one’s chances of hitting or confirming however, but the penalties aren’t too high. Progressing far enough into Monk or a related PrC can reduce these and eventually add extra attacks.
Ki Strike:
Prestige Classes: Argent Fist (any Monk; gives Ki Focus)
Weapon Enhancements: Ki Focus
Ki Strike just lets you overcome different types of DR, which is made easier by using a weapon. Unless you have a VoP or a phobia against golf-bags, this shouldn’t be much of a problem. Some enhancements from feats and PrCs might be worthwhile however, but would usually require Aptitude Weapon.
Stunning Fist:
Prestige Classes: Exotic Weapon Master (exotic), Fist Of Dal Quor (any)
Weapon Enhancements: Aptitude Weapon (and one of the above feats), Ki Focus
SF is a great way to stall your opponent and use him as a punching bag. Now you have a weapon, you can use him as target practice. There is also a wide range of feats and class features available to enhance and customise this ability, so it can be quite profitable.
Quivering Palm:
Weapon Enhancements: Ki Focus
A save-or-die ability for a non-spellcaster is nice, but it’s unlikely you’ll advance high enough into Monk to take this. The low rate of usage (once a week) combined with the need for a save makes it unreliable. Unlike other abilities, this is hard to enhance or customise.
These can be enhanced and advanced by various PrCs and feats. Builds will inevitably start with Monk, dip into a PrC if necessary, then carry on from there.
Abilities similar to the above can be had with various feats and prestige class features that offer multiple attacks or stunning abilities, but these are not the same as those of the Monk. They do make for a passable replica however.
Iron Heart: Bastard Sword, Dwarven Waraxe, Longsword, Two-Bladed Sword
Setting Sun: Short Sword, Nunchaku, Quarterstaff
Shadow Hand: Dagger, Sai, Siangham, Short Sword, Spiked Chain
Stone Dragon: Greatsword, Greataxe, Heavy Mace
Tiger Claw: Kama, Kukri, Handaxe, Greataxe
White Raven: Longsword, Battleaxe, Warhammer, Greatsword, Halberd

Weapons And Weapon Domains Of The Deities
The following is a list of all official deities, sorted by their favoured weapon. Their alignment, relevant domains (ie War, Metal and Revered Ancestor) are also given, as is their race or pantheon if required. Take note of the sourcebook the deity appears in; depending on the source or setting, some gain additional domains, or change alignments or their favoured weapon. Where the latter two differ, I've included both versions separately.
Certain spells, like Spiritual Weapon and Weapon Of The Deity, as well as some Incarnum material[/i], suggest weapons according to alignments for Incarnum-users and Clerics and Paladins of an ideal rather than a deity. Such a character ought to be able to choose their own favoured weapon, but these suggestions have been included for completeness and in the event that a DM restricts favoured weapon options.
The following races all offer something special to the weapon master: a racial weapon proficiency, familiarity, attack bonuses, some special options later in their career, or simply the ever-useful bonus feat. Other races that have access to prerequisites for feats or PrCs will be mentioned with those sections.
Some of the following races have high LAs and racial HD. For the most part, these are not recommended - the weapon master is hungry for feats and class features, and doesn’t need to be nerfing himself any more than is necessary, though some racial features may just make them worthwhile.
Not all racial Weapon Familiarities convert an exotic weapon to a martial weapon. A few change a martial weapon to a simple weapon; these have been marked below. Keep an eye on your Familiarities – an exotic weapon treated as martial may be open to a feat or class feature that specifically applies to martial weapons. More importantly, a martial weapon treated as simple might just be useable with a Vow of Poverty or the Intuitive Attack feat and similar loopholes.
Human: (PHB) A bonus feat is always nice, especially for the would-be weapon master. As is the Favoured Class (Any) and the bonus skill points.
Illumian: (RoD) The Illumian has two possibilities for any weapon it has Weapon Focus with: Aeshoon: Spend a turn/rebuke attempt to add Wis to damage with a weapon you have WF for, 2/day. Vaulesh: Expend a spell slot to add its spell level to AC and damage with a weapon you have WF for, 2/day.
Planetouched: (MM, FRCS) Some interpretations of the Planetouched races (Aasimar, Tiefling, Genasi) would say they have proficiency with all Simple and Martial weapons. Others do not. (ECL+1)
Halfling: (PHB) +1 racial attack bonus with Thrown weapons and the Sling. Most sub-races will have this. Also has access to a number of weapon specialist feats, class features and prestige classes, particularly relating to thrown weapons. The strongheart halfling subrace (FRCS) gets all this and a bonus feat too, making it strictly better for the halfling weapon master.
Aquatic Elf: (SW) Proficiency with Trident, Longspear & Net
Asherati: (SS) Weapon Familiarity with Eagle’s Claw
Avariel: (RoF) Proficiency with Lasso, Bolas (ECL+3)
Chitine: (UD) Weapon Familiarity (Simple) with Short Sword (ECL+4)
Drow: (MM) Proficiency with Short Sword, Rapier and Hand Crossbow. The Drow is LA +2, but it has access to certain style feats found in Eberron sourcebooks relating to the Xen’drik Boomerang, Drow Long Knife and Drow Scorpion Chain, as well as those in DotU and others. The Lesser Drow variant (PGTF) gets the same, but with no pesky LA.
Dwarf: (PHB) Weapon Familiarity with Dwarven Waraxe and Dwarven Urgrosh. Most dwarven sub-races will have this. The dwarf also has access to a number of weapon specialist feats, class features and prestige classes, particularly relating to Axes and Hammers.
Gnoll: (MM, UE) Weapon Familiarity (Simple) with Battleaxe, Shortbow (ECL+3)
Gnoll, Flind: (MM3) Weapon Familiarity with Flindbar. (ECL+4)
Gnome: (PHB) Weapon Familiarity with Gnome Hooked Hammer. Most gnomish sub-races will have this.
Greathorn Minotaur: (MM4) Weapon Familiarity with Greathorn Minotaur Greathammer. (ECL+17)
Greenspawn Sneak: (MM4) EWP with [COLOR="Magenta"]Dragonsplit[/COLOR]. (ECL+6)
Neanderthal: (FB) The Neanderthal gets a +1 racial attack bonus on a range of “primitive” weapons ranging from the simple to the exotic: Bolas, Club, Dart, Greatclub, Goad, Harpoon, Iuak, Javelin, Longspear, Quarterstaff, Ritiik, Shortbow, Shortspear, Sling, Spear, Sugliin, Throwing Axe and Tiger Club. Proficiency is not given however.
Raptoran: (RotW) Weapon Familiarity with the Footbow, though you’d want to be playing a raptoran anyway to be using one.
Sea Kin: (RoD) Weapon Familiarity (Simple) with Trident and Net.
Slyth: (UD) Weapon Familiarity with Flutter Blade (ECL+2)
Taer: (UE) Weapon Familiarity (Simple) with Greatclub, Longspear (ECL+3)

Monk: (PHB) Kama, Nunchaku, Quarterstaff, Sai, Shuriken, Siangham, Flurry Of Blows, Ki Strike, Monk, Stunning Fist 1: EWP (kama, nunchaku, sai, shuriken, siangham) 1+: Flurry Of Blows (Ex): Make multiple attacks, increases with levels, with kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, and siangham 1: Stunning Fist, increases with levels 4, 10, 16: Ki Strike (Magic, Lawful, Adamantine) (Su): Unarmed strikes overcome specified DR 15: Quivering Palm (Su): May instantly slay a creature.
Monk, Divine Variant: (CChamp) Monk 4: Holy Strike (Su): When you hit an evil creature, your unarmed strike or Monk weapon is consider Good-aligned and deals extra damage. An Evil Monk’s attack is considered Evil-aligned (and presumably works on Good creatures). Replaces Ki Strike (Good).
Monk, Oriental Variant: (OA) Butterfly Sword, Club, Jitte, Kama, Lajatang, Nekode, Nunchaku, Quartertstaff, Sai, Shuriken, Three-Section Staff, Tonfa 1: EWP with butterfly sword, jitte, kama, nunchaku, sai, shuriken and tonfa. 1+: Flurry Of Blows: may use with butterfly sword, club, jitte, kama, lajatang, nekode, nunchaku, quartertstaff, sai, three-section staff and tonfa.

For some reason, all my martially-oriented characters want to be weapon master types, though I was never very satisfied with the straight Fighter with WF-chain model. Just too boring and mechanically inept.
After reading some discussions on these boards, I was inspired on ways to do it better. Figuring a trawl through the material was in order, I did so, and made notes. After that, compiling it into a handbook was the next most obvious step. I couldn't find anything of the kind on the boards, so logically if I wanted one, I had to create one. This is my first handbook, and likely my last.
There's not a lot of optimization going on here; I'm not at all good with it. I leave that to you. I hope this resource is useful to others who want to master a weapon.
Please mention anything I've missed, or chime in with criticism and additional theories.
