Alter self giving martial weapon proficiency to humanoid

[Deadlykate]

So far I've been trying out Alter self with the humanoid forms like Gnoll, Sahuagin and the other forms, it feels really lackluster. I get it's a circle 2 spell and shouldn't be too powerful, however the stat trade offs or other benefits aren't much. I feel like they could use at the very least martial weapon proficiency, letting transmutation wizards play a different way. 

Right now animal forms appear to be much more superior than the humanoid forms, and while the humanoid forms can be used for certain rp situations or fun I think they should have the ability to at least wield martial weapons. Even with wizard proficiency in a humanoid form I can't wield a dagger or any other weapon, I don't know if it was intended to be this way or if this might of been an oversight. I just think it would be better for people who would make it easier for people who use alter self normally, given the risk they'll be attacked on sight for different forms or considered a shapeshifter by others. Given the trade off of not being able to cast spells during alter self or even use trinkets, I think they martial would make it a good trade considering at the very least they can use vials still.
