Druid weapons

[Nightfall]

Thry,

My advice, take a martial weapon proficient feat (warhammer) and get a bone warhammer or else something bone related. That way you can be all "Beastmastery" too.

Meh, Plate Armour tends to be suboptimal anyway - I think in my group we've had 1 character in 3rd edition that's bothered with it.
We tend to have a lot of situations where Dexterity is important, so maybe my perspective's a bit skewed.

And I'm not saying give the heavy armour proficiency for free, all druids get light armour, I only change the weapon profs to thematically appropriate - but if a druid wants to spend two feats to be able to wear full plate then I'm not going to deny them on the premise that they can't wear metal.

Platemail works best for those characters that a) have no natural armor (which druids can get at higher levels) and b) don't cast spells or at least can't hang on their own.

Druids with the right combos can hang.
