[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 7555636, member: 50987"] Ah, I think I see the disconnect. This isn't a "rule" that I am applying for all druids. This is one exception that I am allowing for one character. And I'm not creating analogues for everything in the world, either; I'm handling them on a case-by-case basis. (Or not. I just placed a [I]sentinel shield[/I] in a treasure hoard, and it's made of metal. I'm sure that will be frustrating for this anti-metal druid, at least at first. Someone in her hometown knows how to transfer the enchantment onto a different shield...but he doesn't take payment in gold. No, he needs a favor instead...muah ha ha haww...) Ahem. Anyway. I'm not "replacing all metal things," as you suggested. I'm only creating a way for one player's character to avoid metal, and I'm doing it purely for story purposes. Metal still exists in the game, and other druids still use it in varying degrees, and nobody cares. None of these analogues are superior (or inferior) to metal in any way, lest I accidentally create a balance issue somehow. It's all cosmetics..."window dressing," like you said. I don't have a problem with players wanting their characters to be different. So long as it doesn't affect anyone else and it doesn't change any rules...why [I]wouldn't[/I] I allow it? [/QUOTE]
