Does Aptitude weapon work with EWP?

[Morithias]

If a character has the Exotic weapon proficiency feat with say a hand crossbow, would they be able to use say an Musket with the aptitude weapon enchantment without penalty for non-proficiency?

Thanks for the answers!

Yeah. I'm pretty sure the strictest interpretation allows this.

Well, the text states that its for anything that affects a single weapon. So... although it does according to the text, it really doesn't make any sense that someone suddenly completely forgets how to use a weapon they honed to use and then in an hour learns how to use a completely new one just as well... but hey, theres worse logic in the world!

Edit: blargh, i missed the word enhancement...

I think you're mixing up the Warblade Weapon Aptitude class feature and the Aptitude weapon enhancement, there. Warblade lets you reassign your feats that require you to choose a weapon to affect (Weapon Focus/Spec, Improved Critical, Exotic Weapon Proficiency.) An Aptitude weapon lets you pretend the enhanced weapon is the one you already have the appropriate feat for instead.

Also, all wielders of an aptitude weapon are proficient with it automatically. (Or should that be automagically?)

You know, the 8iggest pro8lem with To8 isn't the frakked up gameplay editing. Where it really fails is when you have Feats, Class Features, Enhancements, and Mave sharing the same name in the same book. Shadow 8lade anyone?

I don't think it's such an eightig problem. And what's Shadow Eightlade?
