Do you need to put a pip in Scimitar proficiency to gain the +1 APR benefit from Belm?

Or can I just not put any pips in Scimitars and still gain the +1 APR to my main hand?

    yes

    edit: as in, yes you can just not put any pips in scimitars.

    question: if you get an extra apr, does it always apply to your main hand?

    Belm gives an extra main-hand attack to your character whether they're proficient in scimitars or not. Same goes for Kundane.

    @Flashburn‌ speaks the truth. Having said that, there's nothing wrong with throwing 1 - 3 pips in there, if you have them and plan on using a scimitar for any length of time.

    Scimitars are anyway one of the best weapon class :
    - in BG1 you have 2x +2 scimitars available quite early. And you can get drizzt +3 scimitars
    - in BG2 you can get belm and usuno's +4 from the start. That's a verypowerful combo.
    - later on, you can use the scarlet ninja to with UAI (thieves only) and spectral brand.

    Bottom line is, invest some PIPs and use them.
