What are the worst proficiencies?

[Father Bronze]

I've never put proficiencies in Darts, but that might not be so bad. There is an abundance of them and they fire very quickly. I'll have to try that (fighter ***** in darts? Sounds funny though). And doesn't a Dart of Wounding poison or something. I remember killing Flesh Golems with Darts of Wouding in BG1 .

I would agree that Bastard Sword isn't that great of a proficiency to have. I don't think clubs are that bad -- especially once Jaheira gets a decent one (ie. Blackblood), but spears would be better.

I sometimes give Jaheira the dart proficiency. She's pretty good with the darts that stun or poision. Has to get fairly close to the target, though, so sling is probably better.

that is the only reason to have basterd sword and it isn't even that good
but my vote goes to darts because they run dry on ammo just like trowing axes and daggers
BUT those have boomerang weapons aswell so they are usefull
and with darts you almost never hit that is just awfull

Best to have Katana for a Kensai mage and dual wield celetial fury and Dak'kon Zerth sword

I would have to agree with the board...bastard sword is just about the most useless proficiency, I mean, one good sword and that's it. They tease you at the beginning of the game with a bastard sword, making you thing that you'll have a few in the future to look forward to, but NO! So you wast your profiency points on it and suddenly you have 5 different two handed swords and you have better luck shaking hands with Edward Scissorhands that using these things in combat! I mean--never mind, I digress...
Bastard swords and darts, that's it for me mates!

ME TOO! Why have bastard swords anyway? Also I have an utter distaste for the ninja-to thingy and washi-washing-up-thing sword.

The best you can get is a +1 as far as I know!! And the ninja tos are shit too!!

The game should revamp their weapons seriously! Put in a three-section cudgel or something.........but washi-washing-up sword??!! Is that the best that they can do?

Anyone who uses Washi - etc - etc should be ranted against to be knocked some sense into!

If you are prepared to wait till chap. 5 for a +3 bastard sword its ok but you'll have a useless proficiency slot until then...

Bastard swords should be rolled up into long swords or two handed swords, like the large sword/great/small sword categories they have in Icewind Dale. Little reason for there to be 6 different proficiencies for swords. How different is using a scimitar from using a long sword? What a joke that +1/+3 shapeshifter bastard sword is. Isn't there about one shapeshifter in the entire game? (Also yet to see any giants)

Hey! Does anyone want me to make new profficences for the expansion however doing so will delete a allready existing one if you want me to make new profficences tell me and tell me which one you want to delete.

Looks like Bastard Sword is the winner!

BTW There are plenty of shape shifters in the game - Rakshaka, Druids, not sure the sword actually is implemented to aid in these cases.

I thought darts were bad until a dart of stunning (they work through a stoneskin) saved my butt. Sometimes it is the unintentional design features that make something worthwhile.

The washahashbrown/ninja to arguement is not a winner because the proficency is simitar and there are some AVERAGE scimitars in the game. BUT I STILL hate the bl**dy things. - Curdis
