| For a weapon master, perfection is found in the mastery of a single melee weapon. A weapon master seeks to unite this weapon of choice with the body, to make them one and to use the weapon as naturally and without thought as any other limb.

• Ki Damage: Once per day, a 1st level weapon master may choose to make a special attack with his weapon of choice. If this attack hits, it automatically inflicts maximum damage.
• Increase Multiplier: At 5th level, the weapon master's critical multiplier with his chosen weapon increases by +1. (ie. x2 becomes x3, x3 becomes x4, etc.)
