Extra Warpriest Sacred Weapons


Rules Questions


I've been looking or way to get a Warpriest a way to get a second type or sacred weapon, with no luck.

Anyone know if this can be done?


Warpriests automatically get their sacred weapon bonus with the deity's favored weapon. The way to get any other weapon to have the sacred bonus is to take the Weapon Focus for that specific weapon.

In addition to the favored weapon of his deity, the warpriest can designate a weapon as a sacred weapon by selecting that weapon with the Weapon Focus feat; if he has multiple Weapon Focus feats, this ability applies to all of them.

So it's actually possible to have two weapons getting sacred weapon bonus at first level. Your deity's favored weapon, and the weapon you take the free Weapon Focus in.

If you take weapon focus with a weapon it counts as a sacred weapon for his damage dice increase.

I have a 2h sword (gorum) and took weapon focus(dart), so my darts get increased damage die also.


Ahh right! Thanks! So anything I focus in can get the Sacred bonus! Nice! I assumed you had to pick one weapon and that was it.


No, all weapons you take the weapon focus feat for, even if it's not your deities favored weapon.


Many warpriests have 2 sacred weapons anyway. You get the favored weapon of your deity and the weapon you chose to have weapon focus in. And it seems to be rare to want the sacred weapon of your deity, since Sacred Weapon Damage is so weird about favoring strange weapons with low base damage but lots of other properties.
