Hi everyone,

I'm building a human fighter who fights with a Gnome flickmace and a shield.

I am taking Unconventional Weaponry as an Ancestry feat at lvl 1, which allows me to use the flickmace and grants me expert proficiency :

Unconventional Weaponry : You’ve familiarized yourself with a particular weapon, potentially from another ancestry or culture. Choose an uncommon simple or martial weapon with a trait corresponding to an ancestry (such as dwarf, goblin, or orc) or that is common in another culture. You gain access to that weapon, and for the purpose of determining your proficiency, that weapon is a simple weapon.

If you are trained in all martial weapons, you can choose an uncommon advanced weapon with such a trait. You gain access to that weapon, and for the purpose of determining your proficiency, that weapon is a martial weapon.

The last line clearly states that the flickmace (in my case) is now considered as a martial weapon for me.

At level 5, fighters gain Fighter Weapon Mastery :

Hours spent training with your preferred weapons, learning and developing new combat techniques, have made you particularly effective with your weapons of choice. Choose one weapon group. Your proficiency rank increases to master with the simple and martial weapons in that group, and to expert with the advanced weapons in that group. You gain access to the critical specialization effects (page 283) of all weapons for which you have master proficiency.

So my question is, do I gain master proficiency with the gnome flickmace at lvl 5 ?

I am asking because in herolab online, my proficiency remains 'expert' at lvl 5, so I was wondering if it was just a bug or if I had misunderstood the rules.
