Maybe it's just me but it seems very wrong for a devout follower of Saluwe to get training in scythe, use a scythe, and then suddenly need completely different proficiency and skills once they become a Verdant Defender (presumably the ultimate holy warriors of Saluwe). To me, one of three things needs to happen:
- Change the favored weapon of Saluwe to the spear
- Give followers of Saluwe a choice between Scythe and Spear
- Add a clause to Thorn of Saluwe that the scythe proficiency and skill counts for use of the spear granted by Thorn of Saluwe
Without one of those, it is
WAY too easy to end of as a Verdant Champion who is useless. With the way Arcanis combat scaling works, if you don't have Melee (Polearm) built up from character creation then you will never be decent.
I suppose this is my one complaint with Arcanis is that it is nearly impossible to have a character grow organically because you need to plan out at least through Tier 2 (or even 3) for some Paths to actually be viable.
