I can't really have her holding a spear, a bow, claws, and an axe at the same time, after all (though it would be really nice if I could have those hanging off of my chocobo...).
Which I get this, but then you get into the debate on what IS a weapon? For instance, in my example, pick-axes are not only useable as a weapon but have been used as weapons before hand.
Adding to that, the moment you say 'weapons master' I think 'Firion' who also has experience with magics too. So does your character also have magical training as well?
Or let's say I have a character that uses a bo staff--obviously the closets options are lances (which there are none that don't have a sharp, pointy end) or a Conjurer or Thau using a staff. Naturally, Lancers use a stance more akin to how a bo-staff wielder MIGHT fight but a mage has the more 'staff' looking weapon.
This crosses in the 'reminder' discussion. Having to remind other players that 'X Character isn't using a X Weapon but actually a Y so please remember and use your imagination'.
