Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere or is just taken for granted as common knowledge, but I searched for some time and could not find an answer.
Are there any stand alone benefits to wielding the weapon favored by your deity? Or is it only useful in terms of feats, traits and class abilities that specifically reference your deity's favored weapon?
For example, if a 1st level Fighter takes Iomedae as his/her deity and chooses to wield a Longsword, does he/she gain any bonuses or benefits without having to take a feat or trait?
