Weapon Specialization
Skill, Combat
Focused mastery of one weapon the character already knows, adding damage as the character rises in level.
From the book
Weapon Specialization lets a character focus on one weapon they are already proficient with. From then on they inflict +1 point of damage with that weapon for every 2 levels of ability gained after taking the specialization.
How many specializations a character may hold depends on their combat training: untrained fighters may have only 1, skilled fighters 2, and highly trained fighters up to 3, with the warrior profession treated as an exception. The skill costs 1,500 XP and, like all combat skills, takes 1-3 months to develop, with a qualified instructor needed outside the fighting professions.
