With the change so that the favored weapon now does the damage from the chart, does that change the type of damage in anyway?
i.e. Whip does non-lethal and does not affect +1 or greater armor. Does a warpriest with deity that has favored weapon: whip now do lethal damage? And does it do damage to +1 or greater armor?
Does it change to a 'sacred' damage or just still standard weapon damage as far as DR is concerned?

My Warpriest of Calistria is going to be taking the Whip Mastery feats anyway, so the nonlethal issue shouldn't be a problem for me. But yeah, the only change Sacred Weapon makes is the damage die, anything else stays the same, including damage type.
One thing I'd really like to know, though... what happens when I take Weapon Focus (melee touch)? One might assume, for example, that my 10th level Warpriest's Inflict Light Wounds would deal 1d10+5 damage, instead of 1d8+5, though I'm not sure if that would be intentional or not.
A bigger issue, though, is multiple damage die spells. If my 10th level Warpriest took Weapon Focus (ranged touch) and cast a Divine Trident spell (1d8 damage per two levels), does Sacred Weapon change that to 1d10 damage per two levels? Would it deal 5d10 damage, or would it compare the spell's combined 5d8 damage to the Sacred Weapon's 1d10 damage, and use the spell's higher damage and stay at 5d8?
And on the "probably unintentional" front... does my 10th level Warpriest's Poison spell deal 1d10 Constitution damage per touch?
It's been a while, but how does Pathfinder treat "weaponlike spells"? All I can remember are the rules from 3.5, and I don't remember seeing anything specifically talking about them in Pathfinder. Does Pathfinder even allow me to take Weapon Focus (melee touch) or (ranged touch) anymore?
