Can Druids use "Great Clubs"?

[jlhorner1974]

Yes.

Designers and editors are human and cannot possibly identify and clarify every possible scenario where there is a contradiction or ambiguity in the rules as written. Their task in providing a clear, authoratative, unambiguous ruleset for 3E D&D is so monumental, its virtually superhuman.

I really take my hats off to the designers for giving it their best shot. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people like to complain about the shortcomings rather than give credit where it is due.

I have high hopes for the revised core rulebooks. Hopefully they have been trolling these boards and making notes about all of the most common rule questions and do their best to clarify them.

It's a shame that there is not an official D&D/d20 Modern/Star Wars Rules Team that exists only to clarify rulings and maintain updated errata like Oracle is for Magic: the Gathering.

If anybody is listening at WotC, I'd be glad to participate, as long as I could fit it around my day job.

I ask b/c I'm planning on playing a Barbarian/Druid, and I think it'd be a great weapon for the character.

I mean, a GreatClub is basically a large club, so why not, right?

Due to their dedication to preserve "balance", druids can only use "good" clubs. They can't use "poor" (improvised) clubs, nor can they use "great" clubs, as they stray to far from the center of that which is the essence of club...

All I know is I wouldn't want to use any club that would have me as a wielder.

The druid weaponry rules are amongst the least logical in the game: a druid can't throw a rock or use natural weaponry when wildshaped, according to a strict interpretation of the rules. A wise DM will allow some leeway within these rules.

...and they MUST use clubs, since Unarmed Attack is not listed, therefore FORBIDDEN to them!
