Weapon Master Class Tips #
- Without bonus feats to help meet this class’ prerequisites, the earliest a character could become a weapon master is character level 16. Humans can become weapon masters at 13 thanks to their bonus.
- Bonus feats from Fighter and Divine Champion can be used to meet the prerequisites earlier. The earliest a character can become a weapon master is at character level 7, and this requires four fighter levels if playing a non-human race, two if playing a human.
