Possibly because of your ability to manipulate magical energies, a curse, or interaction with a magical artifact, the laws of reality just don't seem to work right around you anymore.

1. Gravity. Items dropped around you fall at different rates of speed. Coins commonly land on their sides. Occasionally an item will pause in mid-air for a moment before it continues downwards.

2. Reflection. Your reflection seems less like a reflection, and more like there is a being impersonating you on the other side of the mirror. Additionally, when your alone and have your back turned, you could swear it makes faces at you. You haven't been able to catch it yet though.

3.Wind. Your hair and clothes always act as if your standing in a breeze. Additionally, if there actually is wind, they always seem to blow against it.

We've had a hard time finding new players since our FLGS closed down a few years ago We usually game twice a month on Friday or Saturday. Primary requirements are that you are reliable and can play well with others.

So a few months ago, we took a break from our regular campaign, as one of our regular players couldn't make it, and did a short campaign that lasted only a few sessions. (Until our regular player would once again be available.)

While creating characters, one of my players asked me that if he played an Inquisitor of Irori, would he get improved unarmed strike. At the time I ruled that no he would simply be proficient with an unarmed strike, as every other PC with simple weapon proficiency was, and he went with a different deity.

Now as time went on this bothered me. It's not as if giving him that ability would have been game breaking. And I started to think of all the times that I've seen players look at a deity for their cleric (and to a lesser extent, Inquisitor) and decide to go another route because of the favored weapon. And I started to think wouldn't it make sense that said holy warriors would receive some sort of special training with their deity's favored weapon?

As such I'm considering the following house rule for Clerics (And any other class that receives proficiency with their deity's favorite weapon.)

Deity's favorite weapon is Martial or Exotic - No Change

Deity's favorite weapon is Simple - Character receives Weapon Focus with that weapon.

Deity's favorite weapon is an unarmed strike - Character receives Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat.

So what do you think? Is it game breaking? Bad Idea? Or reasonable house rule?
