Martial Weapons are weapons that require extensive trainings to effectively use in combat.

When attacking with a Martial Weapon without proficiency:

You can not add your Proficiency Bonus (Strength for Melee Weapons, Dexterity for Ranged Weapons) to your Attack rolls. Resulting in lower chances to successfully hit enemies.
- For example:
  - When a 16 Strength character that has no Proficiency with Martial Weapons makes an attack to an enemy with a Greatsword, their Attack Roll would be: d20 + 3 (Strength Modifier).
  - When a 16 Strength character that has Proficiency with Martial Weapons makes an attack to an enemy with a Greatsword, their Attack Roll would be: d20 + 2 (Proficiency Bonus) + 3 (Strength Modifier)
