Types of Weapon Master
- Universal WM: Tymora Man-At-Arms
Weapon Masters have high AB even if they don't max their main stat. This allows them to increase their Dexterity for more AC and to make high ability score checks (such as Malebranche KD). High AC from Dexterity also makes it possible to dual weild, use double weapons or large weapons for even more damage without impacting defense much. These builds make excellent tanks. The downside to this type of build is that since their AB is lower, they are not very good at disarming.
- KD/Disarm WM: Disarm/KD WM
Weapon Masters that are built to use Disarm effectively will maximise their Strength score so their AB is as high as possible (it is what determines if you disarm an opponent). This occurs at the cost of Dexterity and the ability to make associated checks, but they can still have AC in excess of 134 and be very sturdy tanks.
