I have a couple of questions about the Ancestral Weapon revelation from the Ancestors Oracle mystery.
The revelation allows you to summon a simple or martial weapon, which you are proficient with. Can I choose a different weapon each time, so long as it is "from your family's history"?
Also, if I choose to summon a composite longbow, is the strength rating forever +0, as the "default" longbow? Or can I ask for my ancestors to provide one appropriate to my strength at the time?

I'd allow the composite bow (and any other strength-rating weapons, if there are any) to change as your strength changes.
I think I'd make you stick to just one weapon for the revelation, though. Maybe one melee and one ranged if we talked about it beforehand.

That's fair ... but it sounds like the lack of specifics are going to make this revelation work differently in every single GM's game.
Any chance there is some clarification coming from the powers that be?

As written, you could probably get whatever weapon you want at the time, including composite longbows of varying strength.
