Humanoid Proficiencies (CBOH)

__TOC__
Humanoid characters have different proficiencies available to them than other character races because of the cultures and societies in which they live. In this chapter, all of the proficiencies available to starting humanoids have been gathered into one master table. This table includes all of the proficiencies listed in the Player's Handbook, as well as selected proficiencies from the other books in the PHBR series. Those listed in boldface type are new to this book and are explained in the text.
Italicized proficiencies require the player to record a specific topic or area covered by the proficiency. For example, if a goblin PC takes animal training, he must specify a type of animal, such as a worg. This would be recorded as Animal Training (Worg). Additional slots can be used to improve the specified proficiency or to gain a new area of expertise, like Animal Training (Hawk).
Those proficiencies marked with an asterisk (*) are from one of the other PHBR books, though they might fall under a different grouping than those listed here. They are explained briefly in this book for ease of reference.
Important Note: The description given here for Alertness replaces the description in the Complete Thief's Handbook
==Proficiencies and Specialization==
As explained in the Player's Handbook, a weapon proficiency measures a character's knowledge and training with a specific weapon. All of the weapons listed on Table 44 of the Player's Handbook are available to all humanoid races, unless otherwise stated in the initial racial weapon proficiencies detailed in Chapter Two. The new weapons described in Chapter Seven of this book are also open to many of the humanoid races. Single-class humanoid fighters can specialize according to the rules in the Player's Handbook for weapon specialization.
