Weapon Maintenance-Stone

Weapon Maintenance—Stone Martial Basic 60 hours Included for free with an appropriate weapon proficiency of level V or higher, this skill enables you to keep your weapons polished and deadly. Without good upkeep, edges dull, straps fray, and rust settles into metal. The Game Master may reduce bonuses or weapon features, and may even add penalties if care slips far enough. Stone weapons are nearly a lost art, with a few tribes of Ogres and the occasional isolated island community being the only ones who still practice it. However, a few enterprising weaponeers have begun experimenting with materials that are stone in form, if not in name, such as obsidian, glass, or crystal. You know how to chip flakes to resharpen an edge or how to reduce chipping and shattering for striking surfaces.
