I was browsing Sandstorm when I came across Kikanuti, whose favored weapon is given as "Clay pot(mace)." I was wondering what other oddball favored weapons are out there for published deities.

Forgotten Realms has a few.

Tymora has "a spinning coin [shuriken]", Waukeen has "cloud of coins [nunchaku]" (because of course), and a couple others I'm too lazy to go look up.

The favored weapon of the Whale Mother from Stromwrack is a paddle (greatclub).

Not worshipping the Whale Mother... that's a paddlin.


For Pathfinder I found the Starknife to be rather weird... combine oversized shuriken and dagger and you get it.

In faerun mystras favoured weapon had a weird name (or it was selune/shar, dunno, could be mixing things up at the moment)

Mystra has the seven falling stars [shuriken], which sort of makes sense. Shar has the disk of night [chakram], which again makes sense. Selune has the mace of four moons, which is a heavy/light mace. Many cases simply name the deity's own personal unique weapon, which isn't all that weird.

One of the knowledge gods has a quill (dart).

I can't remember if it's a greyhawk god, or forgotten realms. I'm thinking either Boccob or Oghma.

It's got something to do with the seven stars in her holy symbol, and there's a few spells that feature them as well (I want to say that they're in the Player's Guide to Faerun or Magic of Faerun).

EDIT

It's neither Oghma nor Boccob - Oghma's is 'Mortal Strike' (a longsword) and Boccob's is a quarterstaff.

More hilarity from the Realms...
Chauntea has a shock of grain [scythe]
Deneir has a whirling glyph [dagger]
Eldath has a net [yes, a literal net]
Nobanion has a lion's head [heavy pick]
Savras has the Eye of Savras [dagger]
Talona has a scaborous hand [unarmed strike]
Ubtao has a tyrannosaur head [heavy pick]
Hathor has long cow horns [short sword]
Horus-Re has an ankh [khopesh]
Isis has an ankh and star [punching dagger]
Nephthys has an ankh trailing a golden mist [whip]
Hanali Celanil has a shining heart [dagger] (oh, the irony)
Yurtrus has a pair of pale white hands [unarmed strike]
Hope that satisfies you:smallbiggrin:
