Learning new proficiencies

[Andel]

I use 2 flails, so I want my proficiencies allocated to flail and two-weapon style, right? Does there come a point when I am able to re-allocated my proficiencies? I have tried when I level up, but I am unable to move a point from sling, for instance, to flail.

Now it seems to me that I should get better at flail and two-weapon style by the mere fact that I use them all the time, but it doesn't work out that way.

Welcome to the board Andel
I'm not certain but I believe as you level up eventually you gain
more proficiencys.It doesn't happen every time you level up though.
and once you make a decision on a proficiency you are stuck with it
so decide on them carefully hope this helps

That is absolutely correct Gwayne.

it depends on what class character youre playing with as to how many slots you can put on any given proficiency. As near as i can remember monks can only have either 1 or 2 slots on anything. Cant remember. Fighters can have up to 5 on a slot. Mages 1 I think.

Just choose wisely.

what class are you playing???

Welcome to the board!!!!!

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. Glad to be a part of the board.

I am playing a Ranger which I dualed to cleric at level 8. Now I believe I am level 8 in both. And as I understand the rules I will always stay a level 8 ranger? Maybe I should have dualed at 9 to get the extra proficiency?

that would've been a good idea, but you would need much more xp to regain your renger's abilities.

You are not able to re-allocate, but you can add to slots. I've tried to do that to no avail. You will just have to start a new game over and distribute accordingly.

With fighters, you should always dual class once you hit a level of 3, such as level 9 or level 12. You get a proficiency every 3 levels.
And once you pick a proficiency, that is the proficiency you have. You can't go back in time and change your makeup, if you are level 6 and decide to add another proficiency to your sword, its like training. Way back at level 6 you were taught how to use your sword better.
You can't jump back in time and change what skills you possess.

I think you get a new weapon proficiency every 5 levels for standard fighters Sunder. ie lv 10, lv 15, lv 20 etc.

It's bleedin dark down here, slippery too.
Man, that's a pisser.

[Andel]

Well that's too bad. I once played a game (forget what it was called - yeah, real memorable) where the character could go to a guild house for his class and train for proficiencies or retrain proficiencies. Wouldn't that be a good idea?

[sunder]

Nope proficiencies for fighters are every 3 levels. You start with 4 proficiencies for a fighter. You get another at level 3, 6, 9, 12. Thus when you start a fighter character at level 7, you start with 6 proficiencies (4 to start, 1 at level 3, 1 at level 6).
Then at level 9 you get your 7th proficiency, then at level 12 you get your 8th proficiency.

Mages start with 1, and get 1 every 6 levels. so a level 12 mage has 3 proficiencies. 1 to start, another at level 6, another at level 12.
