Javelins are a given. Don't think large rocks are a good idea, as they're unbranded and heavy, and how many do you actually need? Throwing nets might work, though, because while they're currently also unbranded, they have a pretty short lifespan.

Throwing nets can be branded silver and possibly steel (I should know, seeing as I wrote the code, but I don't remember right now).

Sorry, but I just can't imagine my god of choice to say "You are my loyal follower. Hereby, I grant you this huge stones to slay your foes." Magical arrows and bows are perfectly fit for this purpose - but rocks? Rather flavour-breaking, it you ask me.

Nets are fine with me. There could even be a brand (like, say, "nets of enstrangling") but this should probably be a separate FR.

You can't imagine your Ogre ballista getting large rocks from Trog? Why is that, I think it's perfectly fine. Especially, since large rocks are the strongest throwing weapon in game. You could argue that we could change the name of 'large rocks' to 'long javelins', but it really seems redundant.

Anyway I would be fine with javelin gifts as well.

How about {rock, stone, granite} pillar?
