Okay, so...at first I assumed the first chart was for basic masterwork bonuses and the second chart was for craftsmanship bonuses.  Are the formulae just explaining how the two tables were derived?<br/><br/>If one assumes that, then the numbers make a lot more sense and your costs should be right and also I am an idiot who got way too confused over nothing.  (Not like I needed 13,000 gp anyway.  There's nothing to spend it on and my character has no reason to be wealthy.)<br/><br/>Thanks for your help.  Now I just need to figure out this proficiency thing.  My instinct is to say that warblades really aren't proficient with even simple ranged weapons, but that just seems ridiculous.  The category of simple weapons seems to operate on the theory that "any idiot can use this unless they're a commoner who literally never fights ever."
