Nonproficiency.
There is no escaping that the Isles can be a Dangerous place and most characters will want to be able to protect themselves if they find themselves in a fight. Most characters, will have some training in at least one weapon but what happens if they find themselves without their normal weapon or have a chance at weilding improvised weapons or weapons of opportunity. Basically, a character who is not proficient in a type of weapon suffers penalties on attack rolls when using that weapon. The penalties vary by character class—for example, fighters are much more likely to understand an unfamiliar weapon than wizards. The penalties are shown on below:-
