Cleric Question about Favored Weapons

[Bael Hefthammer]

If a cleric is using a his/her favored weapon, do they actually start play with it? Or is this an item that must be purchased as with all other gear? I know this sounds a little out there, but I am still trying to wrap my head around all the PFS specific rules, and I did not see anything that covered this.

Thanks.

You will need to purchase it like any other weapon.

jon is correct, you must purchase the favored weapon... however depending on which deity you choose it opens options which would normally cost a feat slot.

That's why you worship Irori and get Improved Unarmed Strike for free! Then you got your favored weapon!
