Star Trek Voyager RPG d20 System

Weapons Proficiencies (Optional rule)
These have been reworked slightly in our game. As usual, if you do not have the correct proficiency
then the -4 modifier to the rolls apply.
But now a Weapon Proficiency also functions as a skill. If you have the proficiency then this counts as
a class skill and points can be spent in it and IP points gain. This skill modifier is added onto the
attack roll of the weapon in use.
Note: Do not apply Strength and Dexterity modifiers to Weapons Skills, these are applied to the Base
Attack Bonus. A Weapon Skill is the Rank only, without modifiers.
