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).
Please Sign , thx in advance

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).

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

Eh, why not? While we're at it, why not give Clerics those proficiencies as well?

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

It would be overpowered, clerics already have two domains... ops, nevermind.

Excellent idea. May I add a suggestion? There's also a Buddhist-esque religion in Eberron called the Path of Light that features the Monk unarmed strike as its signature weapon. That would certainly create a LOT of interesting options for FvS
