Ok for some reason the dang Hoopak isn't in the Dragonlance book.

So I get the fact that it does a 1D6 damage when used like a quarterstaff or short spear. I also get that you do 1D4 damage as a sling with it.

I don't see it as a martial weapon for Kender as the majority of them use it. You're telling me all these little Kender have martial weapon proficiency's? Come on there favored class is Rogue.

Is it like longswords and elves where all elves no matter the feats they have are proficient with it?

Is this in a book somewhere?

Quarterstaves, shortspears, and slings are all simple weapons. While the hoopak is an exotic weapon, kender treat it as a simple weapon, not a martial weapon. No, this isn't in the DLCS, but it's in the DM's Screen booklet and it will very probably be included in the Races of Ansalon sourcebook due out this year.
