[QUOTE="Anthony Terry, post: 6493383, member: 6776492"] Not to be rude but how can you compare the above and still maintain you have a clue what's being discussed? A Paladin being evil is in no way comparable to a druid using Metal. The very definition of a paladin is a Holy Warrior, well in D&D Holy has no attachment to good or evil and i prefer to use the word Divine Warrior. Considering their have always been evil paladins in the form of blackguards its about dam time a rather pointless alignment restriction was removed. However all druids respect and revere nature and its natural powers. Metal is not natural, or at least Iron is not natural, so it interrupts a druids connection with nature and therefore power. Whether they look to protect(good),maintain(neutral),Control(Evil) nature they still need access to does natural powers. If you want a druid that wears metal armour play a cleric and remove all natural spells. Or perhaps consider introducing the use of bronze, or other metals that could be considered natural? Perhaps with slight less AC than their Iron counter parts. I think the word Metal is misleading, i prefer to replace it with non natural materials, and I personally do apply it as far as larger metal weapons and other things beyond armour. [/QUOTE]
