Talk:Mana (3.5e Deity)

How does having multiple favoured weapons work? In the PHB, even deities associated with war and strength only have one favoured weapon. Mana's domains and portfolia aren't weapon/combat related. Marasmusine (talk) 05:32, 16 April 2015 (MDT)

As far as core SRD goes, I believe favored weapons are largely flavor text; They only affect the War Domain's granted proficiency and the Spiritual Weapon spell. There are no rules against deities having more than one, or none, and no limits on what they can be, so far as I know.

There are some differences outside SRD, in that there are more feats, classes, and spells related to them, but that's it. Favored Weapons are roleplay items.

Also, Mana's Domains and Portfolios are heavily skewed in favor of her ideal, which is knowledge, but she is also the goddess of arcane magic, and many of her portfolio elements can be interpreted in ways that necessitate combat, such as "Balance", and her domains do include combat oriented spells, such as the Thaumaturgy domain.
