Why doesn't Avenger get Deadly Simplicity?

[Mangaholic13]

I was reading over the Avenger from War of Immortals, and something occurred to me:
Why doesn't the Avenger get Deadly Simplicity if their deity's favored weapon is a simple weapon?

Is it because they can use any weapon (provided it's their deity's favored one) to sneak attack?

Probably. Don't want to risk making them the best option for stacking damage.

I mean you can already kind of do that by just picking a different deity.

The whole point of deadly simplicity is to lessen the sense of mechanical penalty from picking a deity with a weaker weapon. The same logic that applies to clerics and champions works the same for Avengers.

It really feels like an oversight tbh.

Good point.
