Weapon Training

Skill, Combat

Gain proficiency with one more weapon, or +1 with a single known weapon; the only way for untrained fighters to improve in combat.

From the book

Weapon Training is the only route by which untrained fighters can get better at combat. Each time it is taken, the character either becomes proficient with one more weapon or improves their skill with a single weapon by +1. Skilled and highly trained fighters may also take additional weapon training if they wish.

It costs 1,000 XP. Like all combat skills it takes 1-3 months to develop, and characters whose profession does not teach it must learn from a qualified instructor.
