Default Re: What weapon(s) does Weapon Master (One Specific Weapon) cover?

I'll echo what Peter and those who inspired him have already said. Weapon table entries are strictly for user convenience. The GM needs to exercise a bit of judgment and decide what is and isn't basically the same weapon. Of course making a broadsword pointy doesn't suddenly invalidate your WM (Broadsword), and of course WM (Katana) works with wooden as well as metal katanas (and ceramic ones, and hyperdense ones, and . . .). WM is a cinematic ability that doesn't play well with legalistic, pedantic readings. Go with spirit, not letter!
