"To know the war, you must know the fight. To know the fight, you must know the weapon. To know the weapon, you must know yourself."

The weapon master is the undisputed fighter, a true master, whom has found their call in seeking supreme mastery of one single weapon. These warriors forsake the use of all other weapons in favor of only one. This one weapon becomes like an extension of their body, used as naturally as any other limb, as they learn to become one with their weapon of choice.

Weapon masters have no common theme, and hail from many different places and paths in life. While one is a shining example of chivalry and manners, the next may just be a bloodthirsty murderer. One thing remain for these skilled warriors, when all is said and done; he is as much a part of his weapon as his weapon is a part of him, or so claim those who walk the path of the Weapon Master.

Weapon of Choice: When a character aquires his first level of weapon master, he must select a single melee weapon type (for example, longsword or dwarven waraxe) as his weapon of choice. His weapon master abilities only function when he has a weapon of that type equipped.

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. (For example, x2 becomes x3 and x3 becomes x4, etc)

Superior Weapon Focus: A 5th level weapon master gains Superior Weapon Focus with his weapon of choice as a bonus feat.

Ki Critical: At 7th level, the weapon master increases his threat range by 2 when using his weapon of choice. For example, a longsword normally has a threat range of 19-20. In the hands of a 7th level weapon master, it threatens on 17-20.
