Bludgeon functions differently than normal weapon proficiencies; just 1 point in bldugeon is required to "access" the ability, from there it uses the Strength score directly for AV when making a bludgeon attack with an item.

Magic Proficiencies for Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water belong exclusively to the Exo-Mage. Unlike the other classes, the exo-mage typically combines different magic-types to cast spells(example: combining earth and fire to create a lava-attack). Hence one proficiency is largely useless without the others. Additionally, a splash of earth-magic makes most elemental spells able to bypass counter-magic, thus giving the Exo-Mage an edge if he sticks to his spells.

It is possible to trade proficiencies for those belonging to other classes. For example, the warrior/rogue/ranger classes can all trade proficiencies between them making each class basically interchangeable. Non-magic users can also trade proficiencies to learn some magic, as long as the magic is not listed as Exclusively Reserved(ER for short).

Of the 11 magic types, 5 are ER, those being all four Exo-Mage proficiencies and the Paladin's Holy proficiency(Though if Clerics are ever created they will likely also have this proficiency).

Trading proficiencies allows players to more thoroughly customize their builds. A warrior, for example, might conclude that he has no use for martial weapons, and trade that proficiency for Life Magic in order to gain access to healing spells. It is important to note that doing this would not make him a capable healer, but rather give him some self-healing potential.
 
−
 
 
−
It is generally assumed that some classes will have to trade proficiencies in order to be effective. The Paladin, for example, has three magic proficiencies, but not transcription. Meanwhile, he is proficient in three of the four weapon-types. So he can use 75% of the weapons in the game, but can only learn the spells in his class-tree. By trading one of his weapon proficiencies for transcription, he could use spellbooks and copy scrolls.

Proficiency trading itself will require the use of a moderately rare in-game item as well as a cost of in-game money, and can only be carried out every so often. When a player trades a proficiency, they loose all facets associated with that proficiency, but gain back points to be spent on new facets.

All Proficiency Points are reset, allowing the player to re-spend points however they choose.
