Giant Weapon Expertise      [Feat 13]

Your giant affinity blends with your training, granting you great skill with giant weapons. Whenever you gain a class feature that grants you expert or greater proficiency in certain weapons, you also gain that proficiency in the battleaxe, greatclub, greataxe, greatsword, javelin, and hatchet.
