Arms Features

Arms Features employs weapons to attack pokemon or other Trainers. These features are to be used when a GM allows Trainers to openly bear weapons in the campaign they are running. Some of these

Features are automatically granted to Trainers once they take a Class Feature. If your GM will allow to use these Arms Features, read over them to see what you’ve earned.

The Arms Features are rewarded to certain classes automatically if they are listed in the "Gifted To" section of the Feature’s entry. Otherwise, a Trainer must meet its prerequisites to gain a specific Arms Feature.
