With the addition of playable races such as troglodytes, wild dwarves, and other tribal creatures, there has long been a desire to add more primitive weapons to Arelith, so as to fully represent the less 'civilised' cultures of Faerun. The 'Summer Weapon Update' includes new models created exclusively for Arelith, in addition to an entirely new weapon proficiency group and a number of adjusted existing weapons.

New Weapons

Katar (2d2 19-20/x2, Slashing and Piercing , Tiny, Exotic or Assassin) - Unarmed or 1H Edged

Macuahuitl (2d4 x3, Slashing, Medium, Exotic or Primitive) - 1H Concussion or 1H Edged

Dire_Macuahuitl (2d6 x3, Slashing, Large, Exotic or Primitive) - 1H Concussion or 2Handed;

New Proficiency Groups

- "Primitive Weapon Proficiency"
Allows Forest Gnome, Ghostwise Halfling, Gobling, Troglodyte, Wild Elf, and Wild Dwarf to wield the following weapons:
Club, Dart, Dire Macuahuitl, Great Club, Macuahuitl, Short Bow, Sling, and Spear
Note: All of the aforementioned races will retroactively gain Primitive Weapon Proficiency except Wild Elf. Old Wild Elves are grandfathered with Elven Weapon Proficiency. New Wild Elves will gain Primitive Weapon Proficiency instead of Elven Weapon Proficiency, not both.

- "Assassin Weapon Proficiency"
Allows Assassins to wield Katars, Sai, and Kamas without penalty. They also scale with Hidden Danger.

UBAB Removal

All UBAB weapons except Kamas no longer scale with UBAB APR. Their stats are also improved and noted in the overall weapon changes below.
Note: Kama remains a UBAB weapon due to it being hardcoded, but we have put in future Beamdog update changes that will decouple Kama from monk UBAB as Soon™ as NWN:EE is updated to a newer version. Build into Kama Monk at your own risk.
