Open issues[edit]
Nov 2020: ... there are a few abilities that grant extra Favored Weapons that work in most cases, but aren't working with FvS Grace/Knowledge of battle right now. Specifically, Dwarven Axe Training (for Dwarven Axes, Book of War (for a couple weapons from Divine Crusader), and Adept/Holy Combatant (a couple weapons from KOTC). We're working on a fix, won't be in the next patch but should hopefully be in one soon. DDO Forums
