    Default Duskblade not proficient with simple weapons?

    The book doesn't mention it. I was under the impression every class was... the Beguiler (in the same book) says he is proficient with simple weapons.

    Not every class is proficient with simple weapons in general. Most that have proficiency with martial weapons are, though...

    And yeah, it's just a typo.

    As pointed out, it's corrected in the errata, but not every class gets simple weapon proficiency - Druids, Monks and Wizards do not get simple weapon proficiency; instead they get proficiency with a small selection of specific weapons.

    the glass is always 100% full. Approximately 50% of its volume is full of dihydrogen monoxide and some dissolved solutes, and approx 50% a mixture of gasses known as "air" which contains roughly (by volume) 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases.

    It would -- very much so -- if there had ever been a DM that enforced it.

    Also of note:

    I have a number of ongoing projects that I manically jump between to spend my free time ... so don't be surprised when I post a lot about something for a few days, then burn out and abandon it.
    ... yes, I need to be tested for ADHD.

    Yeah, it's basically an unspoken rule that no one wants to screw over the monk that hard.
