When you weigh the positives and negatives of humans and dwarves, using one of two racial abilities to get exotic weapon proficiency (kusarigama) for humans is not efficient when you can get a reach weapon and an nonheld weapon for free to get the same effect PLUS a whole bunch of other racial abilities.

I love humans, but in this one instance of reach, dwarves are more efficient.

3.5 is disappointingly flawed.

Kusari-Gama DMG can also hit adjacent and has reach.
So what?
you can get proficiency with a spell.

I suggest a cloistered dip for knowledge devotion, law devotion and anything else.

spending 1 inspiration point at medium level to almost guarantee a +5 from knowledge devotion is worth alot if you ever run into the dreaded "more than 5 rounds" encounter.

You mean to finish the encounter?

You can also get proficiency by picking a better race, and that will leave your spell slot open to cast a better spell.
