Half-Satyr subrace can't hold a bow

[ace42]

Half-Satyrs get weapon focus in short bows, but do not necessarily have the pre-requisites to wield a bow. This causes a lot of paradoxes, and is a bit frustrating. I made a druid I intend to make an AA with, and despite having weapon focus in bows, he can't even pick one up!

Perhaps giving Half-Satyrs access to bows from the off, or giving them access to the elf racial weapons (bows mainly) might help make it more obvious and practical?

Welcome to the forums! We didn't want to give them another extra feat, and wanted to leave it up to the player how they went about getting the needed proficiency.

Thanks for the welcome, and cheers for the reply. It's no biggy, as AAs get proficiency in Martial weapons anyway apparently, just seems really curious that someone can be focussed in a weapon they are not even proficient enough to wield.

I'd equate it to studying everything you can about skiing but never actually putting on skiis
