And yet you have been in this thread since almost the beginning with other intelligent people who in good faith do not understand why YOU think it is a rule. no one as far as I know doesn’t know what happens if a rouge attacks with advantage with a two handed weapon. Yet people DO not...

And then what… okay I am not a Druid I still keep my spells powers and hd

What happens if a druid wears metal armor? Druids have a taboo against wearing metal armor and wielding a metal shield. The taboo has been part of the class’s story since the class first appeared in Eldritch Wizardry (1976) and the original Player’s Handbook (1978). The idea is that druids...

Except I am NOT chooseing what rule… it is not in fact a rule

There you go again. Who said I don’t believe in the concept of rules? I just see this as fluff not a rule

Except I don’t believe it is a rule.

Yeah if I want to wear a ceremonial armor given to me by a king and I want to wear it without it counting it as anti can I?

Okay but the rules for multi classing say I CAN use more armor and there is nothing stopping me

You know back to this… if it was a rule and someone broke it by performing an allowed in game action (like picking up a Sheild) then what

Again this is why it only makes sense as “will not” as flavor text.

So what if my character is not referring to himself as a Druid. (I mean I have seen at least a hundred fighters over the years and almost none would describe themselves as a fighter). min that case am I bound by a taboo of a class I level dipped into that has no rule stating that I CANNOT or...

Not true at all… or why else would this thread exists where real people who read and play this game disagree on what it is?

If you read it as a rule (I and many others do not) then it breaks the rule. If you read it as flavor text no rule was broken. If you read it as an in game rule/taboo then in game your character broke the rule/taboo but you the player did not. It is either an oddly placed bit of flavor text or...

Except no where does it say you (or your character) can not change your mind it doesn’t even say the character CAN’T wear the armor if they get prof from somewhere else…

Except there are plenty of people here (and enough asking to get a sage advice answer) that DONT read it as a rule but as a bit of flavor text. if it was meant to be a rule I WILL say it was badly written, but I’m still not sold that it was ever meant to be a rule.

This seems pretty insulting

In witch case you are assuming I am raging (with no reason to suspect I am) and that I am being dishonest… I believe the rules here are very clear to interact with others you must assume them to be upfront

Will not also (at least implies) is a choice and you can change your mind later (again I know it is hard to keep up on this) my DM was a monster DM who made special non magic armor then STILL tried to keep me out of it.

Does not this thread show there is no consensus on if it is or is not a rule?

Wow this thread is hard to keep up with so in my (real honest and only partially powergaming ) example of being a Druid/cleric/paliden is the phrase “a Druid will not xxxx” countered with “but a paliden would”? to go more on point would it matter that I never planned on taking more Druid...
