How does weapon Specialization work in Icewind Dale?
Paladins, rangers, and multi-classed fighters are allowed to get two “stars” (Specialization) in all weapon groups (unless prohibited by another class combination). Single class fighters are allowed to get up to five “stars” (Grand Mastery) in all weapons other than bows and crossbows. Single class fighters are allowed to get three “stars” (Mastery) in bows and crossbows. This change was made to balance melee and missile weapons appropriately. Don’t worry, though, bows and crossbows are still powerful weapons in the game.
