Characters with Weapon Handling (i.e. every class except Druid) are able to take Weapon Focus in any weapon including those they are not usually proficient with and doing so will also grant them proficiency with that weapon type if they were not already proficient in it. This is a custom change to TER to assist character customisation and allow for more cohesive character backgrounds especially in cases where previously a character might have required exotic weapon proficiency only to specialise in a single weapon and may not have had any in-character basis for proficiency in a range of unrelated exotic weapons.
An iconic example of this is dwarves taking Weapon Focus: Dwarven Waraxe symbolising their racial weapon of preference rather than being forced to take the Weapon Proficiency (Exotic) feat which may not be in-character appropriate for them just for specialising in a single weapon from that proficiency category.
