This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Am I the only one who is annoyed with some of the dieties in FR having oriental weapons as their preferred weapons?  For instance, I was making a priest of Waukeen last night, and I noticed that the preferred weapon for Waukeen is the nunchaku.  WTF?

Any suggestions for a different weapon to substitute?

Is Waukeen supposed to be an Oriental deity now? If not, then I'd go with the flail also.

Hmmmm.....I'm still trying to figure how a cloud of coins translates to Nunchaku.  She's the merchants friend so perhaps a quarterstaff.  Or if you want to go with the cloud of coins thing perhaps darts or throwing daggers.

THey always say she's a young deity, so perhaps she's formally a mortal from Kara-Tur.

A flail man.

That's all a Nunchaku is. A rice flail.

Thing is, in D&D the nunchaku isn't a particularly oriental weapon. Monks from all over the place use it (as well as the kama, sai, siangham, and shuriken).

Well, I have a problem the monk class, anyway.

Since the priest in question was also a rogue, I just went with the rapier and decided to forgo the preferred weapon problem all together.
