We need more weapon choices for FVS

[Udalric]

"In DDO there are 5 choices, 3 of which are race specific and 1 is bows which is a broken mechanic at the moment. So If you want a Human, Halfling or Dwarf you are stuck with crappy longswords . I think we need a few more choices."

Here are some options easily-supported by the D&D setting books:
Warhammer- Onatar (balanced longsword alternative for all races )
Quarterstaff- Aureon
Heavy Mace- Kol Korran
Battleaxe- Balinor ( something interesting for dwarfs )
Morningstar- Arawai
Sickle- Olladra

ALL OF THOSE DEITIES ARE MEMBERS OF THE SOVEREIGN HOST, so they could use the same Sovereign Host special abilities as the existing Favored Soul options . The Quarterstaff option would be attractive to some FVS18/Monk2 builds, while the Battleaxe choice would be preferable for Dwarves . Favored Souls are not getting any Pre with update 8 ( btw p2p class without any Pre ???) so give them at least few weapons (i suggest warhammer ,and battleaxe as prioritaire).

No PrE for update 8 though because PrE's and major content only come in on odd numbered updates, hopefully we will see something for update 9.

I like the idea it adds flavor and doesn't do much to unbalance them.

I love the qstaff idea as that is the weapon my Horc FvS is using atm. While if we had a GA option it would get all the attention I think we should have another 2 hander like the Maul(which is the red headed step-child of 2 handers).

I think you have forgotten the ever popular greatclub.

I disagreed with the thread title, but upon reading the OP found it to make sense.

I agree maul is very tempting and should be included as Pre weapon , but for now we need few more basic weapons as a part of existing Sovereign Host path . It's a minor balanced addition to Fvs class. Hope we get something with incoming update 8....

Source material wise you can look here to see the "faiths" they could legitimately add.

The path of light definitely does have unarmed attack as a good choice for a FVS for that sort of build.



As for half-orcs, Aureon has the quarterstaff.
Also dol arrah has the HALBERD, boldrei has the SPEAR both of which are 2-handed weapons. But both of which arent in the game yet.


The keepers of the past have the DOUBLE SCIMITAR (think 2-scimitars joined at their hilts) which isnt in the game yet but could be added as an alternate weapon using the quarterstaff animation. Though this would only be available to elves and half-elves.

Nope, Warhammers for Dwarves, end of story Faithful, clericy dwarves always used warhammers...

Yes, I am a D&D player, not a AD&D player, there is a difference.

No I've never played PnP Ebberon. And I don't plan on it.

Sovereign Host path is available for all races so your dwarf could use warhammers without problems , battleaxes are more useful for them beacuse of racial +2 hit and +2 dmg bonuses.

[zex95966]

except for humans, I agree. Humans get extra feat though which is basically free khopesh if you want it.

Add Heavy Picks (Cults of the Dragon Below) to half-orcs as well.
