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?
A flail?
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.
