Favored weapon
When you take your first level in a divine class (i.e. Cleric, Favored Soul, and Paladin),you get to choose a deity. Each deity has one favored weapon; as you take additional divine levels, you might get additional benefits.
Favored weapons overall table[edit]
* A "No" in the Available column indicates there is no way at current that a character can treat all weapons of that type as a favored weapon. This ignores specific weapons which are always favored (found in the Misc column) and the Curse of Divine Fortune, which can make any individual weapon a favored weapon.
Default favored weapons[edit]
Depending on your race, you can select one of the following: Bastard Sword, Dagger, Greatsword, Heavy Mace, Longbow, Longsword, Maul, Quarterstaff, Scimitar, Shortsword, Sickle, Warhammer
| Weapon | Deity | Races |
|---|---|---|
| Quarterstaff | Aureon | Eberron races except Bladeforged |
| Dagger | Blood of Vol | Eberron races except Bladeforged |
| Greatsword | Lord of Blades | Bladeforged, Warforged only |
| Sickle | Olladra | Eberron races except Bladeforged |
| Warhammer | Onatar | Eberron races except Bladeforged |
| Longbow | Silver Flame | Eberron races except Bladeforged |
| Longsword | Sovereign Host | Eberron races except Bladeforged |
| Scimitar | Undying Court | Elf, Half-Elf only |
| Shortsword | Vulkoor | Drow only |
| Heavy Mace | Amaunator | Forgotten Realms races |
| Bastard Sword | Helm | Forgotten Realms races except Morninglord |
| Maul | Silvanus | Forgotten Realms races except Morninglord |
(The Forgotten Realms races are: Morninglord, Shadar-kai, Purple Dragon Knight, Deep Gnome, and Aasimar Scourge. Everything else counts as an Eberron race.)
