Building a Tortle Fighter and wanted to use a Chultan weapon for flavor. However, it isn't adding in the character's proficiency bonus, despite the Yklwa being a Simple weapon and this character being a Fighter. Am I missing something super simple? Attached is a screenshot of the character sheet where I'm seeing the problem.
Same here. Trying to build a tortle monk who should be able to use this as a simple weapon. Doesn’t even show up when filtering proficient weapons for Monk.
The workaround to use before this is fixed is to use the customize section of the weapon to manually add the proficiency bonus. Just remember to remove it when it is fixed.
Are you still having this issue? I attempted to replicate but my Yklwa is showing up as a proficient weapon (indicated by the green dot and bonus to my attack roll)
Druids get neither the Simple Weapon category broadly nor Yklwa specifically among their starting weapon proficiencies, so they wouldn't get to add the bonus. Your character sheet is working properly.

Yes, this is not working for me either. I tag this as bug. Thanks for the report.

Same for my tortle Cleric. Guessing this is a low priority bug with XGtE on the horizon.
Any word on this one? We a party member that would like to use this weapon.

It's actually working for me now. Sweet.
I just went in and it worked for me. Thanks!
Looking good on my end. Cheers.
I am having this same issue trying to use a Yklwa on my Tortle druid.

Gotcha, I was thinking Tortles themselves would be proficient. Thanks.
