D&D 5E Does 5e have anything like Ironwood

[aarduini]

I want to play a land Druid, but they can't where any metal armor. I couldn't find any reference. Does anyone know if there is anything like Ironwood in 5e

If your DM says there is, sure.

Try a Druid of Mielikki? That goddess doesn't seem to impose metal restrictions

Be patient and bide your time. Sooner or later you will encounter a wooden door that just won't budge or break. Once you get past it and finish that dungeon, take it with you and craft armor out of it.

maybe just play the class as its intended rather than try to find some loophole to weasel out of the penalty.

Barskin is probably better, actually.

And it is not really a balance issue as much as a flavor one; it might be an uncommon magic item, but if your DM is down, don't see any harm.

Maybe ignore the thread if the subject matter bothers you rather than being condescending towards the OP? It's a novel approach, I know. But I have confidence in you.

I don't think that's what he's trying to do at all.

There would not be any issue with saying Hide or Studded Leather was made out of ironwood.

I know that in a home game its not an issue. its a shame how we always have to jump through hoops for organized play. Oh well. I just wanted to know if anyone knew something I didn't.

Thanks for responding. Well, thanks to most of you anyway.
