Separatist Question

[Deyvantius]

If a separatist's deity's favored weapon is a simple weapon, does he still lose proficiency.

For example, if I am a separatist of Abadar, do I lose proficiency in the crossbow, even though I would get proficiency regardless because it's a simple weapon?

I'd say no. You don't lose proficiency in crossbow, you lose the "gain proficiency in deity's favored weapon", which is an addition to Simple Weapon proficiency.

You still get your simple weapon proficiency. In Abador's case it just turns out that his bonus overlaps what you'd already get.

Thanks I figured it the same way as you all.
