I believe that the docs for the above tag are grossly in error (or there's a

huge bug).



The docs say, in part:



AUTO:WEAPONPROF|TYPE.Ranged|TYPE.Piercing|TYPE.Simple

All "Ranged", "Piercing" and "Simple" weapons are given as free weapon

proficiencies.



AUTO:WEAPONPROF|TYPE.Martial.Slashing

All "Martial" weapons that are "Slashing" type are given as free weapon

proficiencies.



AUTO:WEAPONPROF|TYPE.Martial.Slashing.Melee

All "Melee" type "Martial" weapons that are "Slashing" type are given as

free weapon proficiencies.



I believe it keys off of the *weaponprof* TYPE tag, not the *equipment* TYPE

tag.  There are no Slashing, Piercing, etc TYPEs in the weaponprof files.

So while the above would work if those were added, as it stands it doesn't

work as indicated and I think the entry is misleading people into believing

that any tag attached to a weapon can be used to grant a proficiency...



Not sure how to make it clearer, but it shuld be noted somehow.

Works off of both weaponprof and equipment listings, really.  Isn't that

something?  Had to do with some kind of backwards capability or something...

I'm hazy, but I remember it being keyed off of both, for some reason.  Now,

since you state that it is changed, I think we prob. should start adding to

the weaponprof.lst files the extra TYPEs.  Always was a plan in my book,

just not high priority since things worked..  If they don't, they are a

little higher in the priority in my PoV.

I haven't tested *thoroughly*, but it does not seem to refer to the weapon

TYPEs at all.

Yeah, I remember talking about that a looooong time ago too.  :p
