1st Level

Base Attack Bonus	Fort Save	Reflex Save	Will Save	Combat Talents	Talents granted by Weapon Sets
+1	+2	+2	+0	0	1

Combat Training

A weapon master may combine combat spheres and talents to create powerful martial techniques. When they gain their first level they choose either Wisdom or Intelligence as their practitioner modifier.

Talents

A weapon master gains two discipline talents, as well as the Dual Wielding Sphere and a talent of their choice from the Dual Wielding sphere.

Default: You pick the Duelist Training and Pikeman Training discipline talents, as well as the Balanced Blows Dual Wielding talent.

Customized Weapons (Ex)

At 1st level, a weapon master may customize up to three sets of weapons in a process that takes 8 hours of modification, drilling, and practice each, reworking scabbards, modifying grips, adding hooks and straps, and other tweaks to suit her personal fighting style. Each set may consist of: a single weapon, a pair of weapons that are wielded simultaneously, up to 10 thrown weapons of the same type, or up to 50 pieces of ammunition. A given weapon cannot be part of more than one set simultaneously. The weapon master always treats her active weapon as if it were masterwork.

The weapon master may choose to customize a new weapon by spending 8 hours, choosing which existing customizations to lose. The weapon master must be proficient with the weapon to customize it and may not customize siege weapons. If the weapon master possesses proficiency with shields, she may customize a shield with one of her weapon customization sets, either as a single weapon or as part of a pair of weapons. The enhancement bonus from enhanced customization only applies to using the shield as a weapon.

The customization process allows the weapon master to train in additional talents unique to each customized weapon. At first level, each customized weapon grants a single sphere or talent. A customized weapon must possess a base sphere before additional talents of that sphere may be added unless the weapon master possesses that sphere, such as through the bonus talents gained from possessing the combat training class feature, from the Extra Combat Talent feat, or levels in another class. The weapon master may not use talents gained from a customized weapon to qualify for feats or to meet other prerequisites unless otherwise noted.

Customization talents may be changed with the same action required to customize a new weapon. Spheres and talents that grant skill retraining never grant it when gained via a customized weapon.

The weapon master may only benefit from the talents granted by one customized weapon at a time. The weapon she is currently gaining talents from is the active weapon. A customized weapon may be activated as part of drawing it or otherwise recovering it (such as picking it up from the ground) with no action cost. The active weapon must be wielded (or able to be drawn, in the case of ammunition) to provide its benefits; should the active weapon be disarmed, stowed, destroyed, or otherwise no longer wielded (or able to be drawn, in the case of ammunition), the weapon master loses access to the granted talents immediately. If the weapon is thrown as part of an attack, the weapon master retains any benefits from the weapon until the end of her turn.

If the weapon master customizes a set of thrown weapons or ammunition, she retains the granted talents as long as at least one of the set remains wielded. If a pair of weapons are customized to be wielded together and one is not being wielded, the weapon master loses the benefits of the granted talents until the second weapon is recovered. Should the weapon master be wielding weapons from two separate customization sets at the same time, she may choose which weapon is active at the beginning of each turn.

Default: Pick the first gear package and modify the weapons as follows:

Longsword and shortsword with the Defensive Whirl talent.
Guisarme with Lancer Sphere.
Light crossbow with Sniper Sphere

Quick Change (Ex)

At 1st level, an weapon master gains the benefits of the Quick Draw feat with her customized weapons and may stow customized weapons as a free action once per round.

This class feature counts as possessing the Quick Draw feat for the purposes of meeting the prerequisites of other feats, though any feat qualified for this way may only be applied to customized weapons.

Feats

The weapon master gains no extra feats on first level.

Default: Pick Extra Combat Talent as your level 1 feat and use it to gain the Armor Training talent.

All prowesses are extraordinary abilities unless noted.

Default: You pick the Exotic Weaponry prowess.

Focusing Switch

At 3rd level, while using her active weapon, whenever the weapon master succeeds on a combat maneuver, confirms a critical hit, or reduces a foe to 0 or fewer hit points, she may regain martial focus by activating a different customized weapon as an immediate action, stowing the current weapon and drawing the new one as needed.

Rapid Assault

At 5th level, the weapon master becomes an expert at rapidly integrating multiple weapons into her attack routines.

Whenever the weapon master successfully damages a creature or succeeds on a combat maneuver while using the attack action with a customized weapon, she may expend martial focus as a swift action to make an additional attack against that creature at her highest base attack bonus. This attack takes a -2 penalty on the attack roll and can only be taken with a customized weapon other than the one used in the triggering attack.

The weapon master may spend a move action to move up to her speed between the triggering action and the additional attack.
