Favoured weapon of each deity

[Arkalezth]

The information about some deities' favoured weapon is confusing (i.e. Brintha - pickaxe, Rel - broad sword). I've taken a look at which weapon favoured souls and War domain clerics actually get in game. Here's the list (the "M" means that you also get martial weapons proficiency):

- Brintha - Battleaxe (M)
- Canas - Warmace (M)
- Cl'taia - Unarmed strike
- Coloth - Dagger
- Culnul - Scythe (M)
- Etoth - Warhammer (M)
- Farallis - Quarterstaff
- Iaosia - Club
- Ineania - Flail (M)
- Lochwar - Warmace (M)
- Nuarari - Quarterstaff (M)
- Peralia - Scythe (M)
- Rel - Longsword (M)
- Rhauth - Spear
- Teshalia - Rapier (M)
- Tharon - Longbow (M)
- Tyrak - Battleaxe (M)

Yes, Nuarari gives martial proficiency, even though quarterstaff is a simple weapon. This looks like a bug.

I couldn't start a new thread on the "server information" section. If the mods think it belongs there, feel free to move it.

I believe there is a problem with this regarding Favored souls. Both Maire and another player, who name escapes me at the moment have a character who is FS and have the Weapon focus:Deities weapon but didn't get the martial proficiency. I noticed that these aren't listed on the wiki or the individual deities pages In Character creation. Is there a reason for that?

[Arkalezth]

Those pages mention the "RP weapon", to put it in some way. I just checked which weapon you really get in game. I'll add them to the wiki later if no one beats me to it.

I tested it with a War domain cleric, so I don't know about that bug with favoured souls. Still, that's a different issue. If it can't be fixed, maybe Wired can add the proper feat to those bugged characters.

History mainly.

When NWN2 launched (which is the same time Dasaria and all our stuff like the wiki, launched), Deity Favored weapons only mattered for fluff, there was no mechanism to really be able to set them, and there was no classes that cared what favored weapon was as the War Domain, at the time, had the same mechanical affect that the Fury domain now has and wasn't tired to Deity's favored weapon.

When the current War Domain and Favored Souls were added in Mask of the Betrayer, the DMs went through and properly added deity's favorite weapons, but didn't tell the community what they set them to, and nobody took the time to figure them all out, seeing it as more or less unnecessary, you'd got what you got. Nobody particularly cared if deity A had a better weapon than deity B, as people chose their character's patron deity not based on what weapon they would give.

In other words, the information was not previously available to folks before now, and nobody felt it a big enough deal to find out.

There's an existing OEI bug in that if you hit the back button any time during chargen you might not get your FS feats.

Dasaria predates the Neverwinter Nights franchise. The staff didn't change the weapons of choice in "The Pantheon According to the Priests of the Empire" because we wanted to preserve Dasarian lore. I hope the wiki reflects the staff's wishes.

[Peregrinus]

The wiki has maintained the original lore entries from the Notable Laws as the official Deity's favored weapon. That said, to accommodate player needs, a field has been added to the deity's infoblocks that lists the "In Game Favorite Weapon" below the "Favored Weapon" field, with the information provided by Ark here.

Added Canas (warmace).

I haven't added this to the wiki because Canas' page uses a character's template, rather than a deity's. If Pere or some staff member wants to add it, go ahead.
