Favored/Preferred weapons

[mightyrotag]

I did find a couple of posts on this topic. Didn't quite find the answer I was looking for.

Say a deity favors melee weapon X. Would it look odd if that deity's cleric carried a ranged weapon to boot? I'm talking about supplementing the favored weapon, especially at low levels, not supplanting it. Part two of the question would be - does that go into the char submission bio? Something like "He carries no weapons other than umm his walking stick and umm a sling."

Any thoughts, please?

It would not look odd, It is infact standard for most to carry a melee and ranged weapon. The only problem would be if the Deity's dogma specify not using ranged weapons(but i do not think any do)

Like variable said, a ranged weapon in addition to the favored weapon would be ok depending on the deity.  If I remember right the only ones who HAVE to use the preferred weapon of the deity are champions of the deity.  That said, I think it would be appropriate to include in the bio if the character will use a weapon other than the preferred weapon.

All that makes sense. Thanks for your input guys. If i remember right, only one god is allergic to axes and stuff. Don't remember any of them being allergic to missiles.

And take into consideration any oath of honor you've sworn. Such as a Toranite using a longbow on a living thing. I believe it to be outside of their honor to do. But that's just me.
