This skill category enables you to become a master in the use of a specific types of weapon or armour, but you can only master the use of weapons or armour you have already specialised in. This means you can inflict an extra point of physical damage by the weapon, or gain either the benefit of an additional point of PAC from the armour or reduce the dexterity penalty of armour by an additional point. In all cases, the bonus gained is cumulative with any other bonuses from the skill categories, specialisation, strength or dexterity, or from potions, spells or magical items.
Weapon Mastery +1 Damage with Weapon
Armour Mastery +1 PAC to Armour worn
Armour Mastery Reduce Dex Penalty by one
The level of the proficiency you require depends on the level of proficiency needed to use the weapon or armour. It is possible to become a master in more than one weapon or type of armour, however in order to do this you must purchase the skill each time. You only require the level of mastery equivalent to the skill level in the weapon or armour you wish to master. Only one form of Armour mastery may be learnt at each level of Mastery, although you can learn different versions for different ranks of Mastery.
