Ever since the first edition of Dungeons & Dragons, there has been this delusion that clerics are forbidden edged weapons. This isn't always the case- certainly a cleric of Kali wouldn't be allowed to use a bladed weapon, but they couldn't use blunt weapons either- they can only use a garrote. And do you really think a priest of Odin would be forbidden to use a spear?
At any rate, that's the convention and I am adhering to it. Here is my cleric concept- she has a warhammer, because it does an equivalent amount of damage to s sword. I hope you like my sexy cleric, with her practical weapon and wardrobe choice...
