(Dwarves of Golarion) Diety favoured weapon Q - possibly typos?


Pathfinder Player Companion


So there is one god (Droskar) with a light hammer.

And there are two gods (Torag and Thrudd) with warhammers.

Now we come to three gods (Grundinnar, Kols, and Magrim) with hammers. What the? I look at my weapon section in my rule book and I see light hammers, and warhammers, but no hammers.

Are these supposed to be light hammers too? Or do we get to pick between light hammers and warhammers?

Grundinnar, Kols, and Magrim should all grant proficiency with warhammers.

Slightly off topic, is this the ruling on the feats as well?

Or does "hammer" literally mean any type of hammer?

thanks

Now I'm reminded of that 1st edition Cleric I played who used a Lucerne Hammer, because I had no idea what it was...

I remeber all the polearms being like that...What the devil is Voulge and what does it look like.

A friend said recently polearm names are stupid and if it's got a 45 degree hook than a 90 degree hook it gets a different name, but it's almost the same thing!

His rant made me chuckle.


What about Bolka and Mace, is this supoise to be light or heavy mace?

Personally, I believe in a much more flexible interpretation of what weapon is an appropriate weapon for a deity, at least for some deities. If you worship Thor, he's not going to care if you're using a warhammer, light hammer, or throwing hammer. If you worship St. Cuthbert, he's not going to care if you're using a light mace or a heavy mace. So if a deity's favored weapon is "hammer," grab a hammer. If a deity's favored weapon is "mace," grab a mace. If a deity's favored weapon is "short sword," then you should grab a short sword and not a longsword, greatsword, or rapier.

Now, in the case of these "generic" choices of holy weapons, a cleric (who gets proficiency in the deity's weapon) should make a choice at 1st level as to which type they want proficiency in, and can't change it thereafter, as otherwise they may be getting multiple proficiencies and that's too good (at least, compared to the loser whose deity's favored weapon is dagger or quarterstaff, which clerics are automatically proficient in).

The point is for the worshipper to be using a weapon appropriate to the deity, not to get all gamerist about a deity nitpicking which is the "proper" weapon of the faith: hammer, warhammer, adamantine warhammer....
