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 and Ability Modifier (Strength for Melee Weapons, Dexterity for Ranged Weapons) to your Attack Rolls, resulting in lower chances to successfully hit enemies. For example:
  • When a character that has no Proficiency with Martial Weapons makes a melee attack to an enemy, their Attack Roll would be: d20 + Ability Modifier
  • When a character that has Proficiency with Martial Weapons makes a melee attack to an enemy, their Attack Roll would be: d20 + Proficiency Bonus + Ability Modifier

• Only martial classes such as Barbarian, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, have proficiency with all martial weapons at level 1. However, for other classes:
  • Bards are proficient with hand crossbows, longswords, rapiers, shortswords.
  • Druids are proficient with scimitars.
  • Monks are proficient with shortswords.
  • Rogues are proficient with hand crossbows, longswords, rapiers, shortswords.
  • Clerics, Sorcerers, Warlocks, Wizards have no proficiency with any martial weapons
