Dragonhide Armour

[brehobit]

Dragonhide may not be terribly expensive, but it does not really do anything for you except avoid using metal. Great for a druid, but otherwise I don't really see the point other than the coolness factor.

It's the +1 wild dragonhide full plate that is scary. For about 20,000 GP a druid gets a +9 armor bonus in wild form without any of the penalties. The limitation of wildshape has always been the AC. +9 is sorta helpful.

if you have access to the quintessintial fighter its in the armor section as well as the other places already listed.

In 3.0 there were already enough options to get a great ac, including all kinds of wooden full plates and animated wooden shields ... druids tend to have top of the line AC's in our groups.

The big problem for druidic AC is they aren't proficient with heavy armor. Chain shirts are really the best AC/weight ratio but it requires a lot of steps to wind up with ironwood chain. And expensive, whooo. Dragonhide's far more reasonable at lower levels (especially for a gnome).
