[QUOTE="Murrdox, post: 3608040, member: 10131"] 1 - No. Wielding the favored weapon of your deity is a mark of honor and respect for that deity. However, it is not required, but likely church officials encourage it. Wielding another weapon would be like being in the army, and using a gun manufactured by a country other than your own. (not a perfect analogy, but you get the idea) 2 - No. It depends on how loyal a Cleric you are, and what type of "flavor" you imagine for your character. 3 - No. Although I'd like to point out that in my campaign we have House Ruled this as a [i]yes[/i]. 4 - None, but completely dependent on DM. If the Cleric's superiors order him to wield the Holy Mace of Pelor, but the Cleric insists on wielding a longsword... then he can probably expect to be punished by the church for not respecting their traditions.
