Druid and nature deities' favoured weapons


Rules Questions


I require some clarification regarding druids that follow deities having a domain instead of animal companion. Of course deities that support nature are valid, or the animalistic deities also being valid.

Are druids proficient with the favoured weapon of their deity?


Here is the relevant part of the class feature.

Nature Bond (Ex): wrote:
At 1st level, a druid forms a bond with nature. This bond can take one of two forms. The first is a close tie to the natural world, granting the druid one of the following cleric domains: Air, Animal, Earth, Fire, Plant, Water, or Weather.

It doesn't matter which deity a druid worships, he is still restricted to the listed domains.

Druids do not gain proficiency in a favored weapon, it is not part of their class description (nor is it tied to gaining a domain).

Druids can also choose from the sub-domains in the Advanced Player's Guide: Cloud or Wind (Air), Feather or Fur (Animal), Caves or Metal (Earth), Ash or Smoke (Fire), Decay or Growth (Plant), Ice or Oceans (Water), and Seasons or Storms (Weather). Druids also gain access to a variety of special animal and terrain domains from Ultimate Magic.

Note that some archetypes may alter or restrict the available domains.

Thanx for the clarification. I take the favoured weapon is a cleric class feature, not domain related.


AFAIK, if you are proficient with your deities favored weapon, it is listed under your class proficiencies.
Of the top of my head, this list includes Cleric, Inquisitor, and Warpriest.
