OK...this is going to sound like a stupid question, but how do you get more than 2 "*" on weapon specialization??????? It was a nagging question in the back of my mind the whole time I was playing, but since my enemies all fell before me quite swiftly I never gave it a ton of thought.........I tried clicking on more "*" when a new specialization opened up, but it only let me get to 2....argggggh!!!

Only Fighters( and their kits) can have more than 2* in their weapon-type proficiencies.

Wouldn't Jaheira get to do it eventually then, or is it verboten for multi-class?

And I have to admit a lack of knowledge of 2nd and 3rd edition rules but aren't Rangers and Paladins considered some kind of sub-class of fighters?

To further clarify, only pure or dualclassed Fighters can have more than 2* in any weapon-type proficiencies. Multiclassed combinations that include the Fighter class, can only Specialise and go no further( but they can have 3* in Two Weapon Style).

Paladins and Rangers are considered Warrior types, but not Fighters. They can have 3* in Two Weapon Style too though. This applies to Barbarians as well.

Damn...thanks Dundee I never caught that on 2 weapon style....oh well, mental note for the next run through.......thx

No problem.

P.S there is a class that can have more than 2 that people have forgotten to mention, the archer ;) can have 5 in missile weapons but only 1 in melee weapons

a bard kit (blade IIRC) can get 2 "*" as well

A Swashbuckler can also have 2* (and 3* on two weapon style)

I think you got confused between the Swashbuckler and the Blade. A Blade can only have 1* on a weapon-type proficiency, but can have 3* for Two Weapon Style.
