The other half provide a pretty hefty damage bonus if you use one. Either way you'd be pretty much crazy to waste resources on using a superior weapon with any of these powers, even assuming you didn't want the "simple weapons only" line of powers.It isn't bad, just creates a sort of an oddity in the game. I mean I don't know what other possibilities Mike looked into. I'd assume he wanted something that would make a STR cleric effective with a weapon right from the start.[MENTION=56189]Kzach[/MENTION] Your analysis sounds about right. There are one or two little cracks here they're going to have to fill in... OTOH the comparison to fighter isn't 100% relevant, they are still quite different characters and the fighter has other advantages that make it more suitable to its role. Still could be an issue with hybrids though (they are definitely going to have to drop in some errata to keep the Battle Cleric's Lore option out of the hands of hybrids).</blockquote>
