Does anyone know if WotC has said anything about the duskblade having Simple Weapon proficiency? I think this is the first time I have found a class that has martial wpn proficiency, but does not have simple wpn proficiency. Lacking simple wpn proficiency may actually fit better for class flavor in this instance. I had just not expected to ever find a class with martial and without simple wpn proficiency until I was reading more closely. (I am formatting a Character sheet on excel and am in the process of adding the four base classes from PHB2.)

That's really strange. I also assumed you ad to have simple to get martial proficiency. But there is nothing that says you need it, so it may be so specialize in fighting style that it never learned how to swing a tree branch (club) well.

Why bother learning how to wield a club when you already know how to wield a greatsword?

I imagine it has something to do with class flavor. The Duskblade is a specifically martial variant caster: martial weapons, martial spells, and a martial character.

As gss_000 pointed out Duskblades are "so specialize[d] in [a martial] fighting style that it never learned how to swing a tree branch (club) well."

I wasn't pointing out bad typing, merely re-asserting the validity of your point

In no way did I take it as such.  It was more shock at my own skills (or lack thereof).

Someone missed his sense motive at some point here.
