Changing proficiency system? Options

[Exor]

Compared to wizards the fighters are underpowered in BG 2.

[Edit]
okok.. how about this motive: In BG there are that many weapon profencies.. although probably realistic they are imho boring/ to restricting. Or always develop the same way.. putting 5 points into the endgame weapons.
[Edit end]

So how about changing the weapon profencies, so that they are ...better^^
