[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 354191, member: 4134"] Hm.. if you count THAT as a weapon. I'd say it's just something you throw. Not exactly a weapon. IMHO, a druid wouldn't lose his powers if he attacked with a bread knife. Well, size does matter. I think that they're not supposed to run around with some two-handed aberration of a weapon. Well, that's an outlandish, foreign weapon. It doesn't behave for your proper druid to use such a weapon. OK, this could fit in there The Problem here is that AFAIK there are no blowguns in D&D, or, strictly speaking, the Core Rulebooks. It's in additional books, so they can't write something like "Druids can also use the blowgun. For stats on the blowgun, please buy XYZ". Where does it say that? You still need weapon proficiency(scimitar) for that huge scimitar, so it should count as one. The problem is similar to the blowgun issue: normally, there are only medium-sized or small druids, since there are no smaller or bigger PC-races. But I think that they could use the weapons that they are proficient with, even if they aren't the standard size, provided the druid isn't standard size either. I would require that the relative size's the same. So a halfling druid could get a small scimitar and use it, the ogre druid could use a large one. But I'd not allow the human druid to use a large scimitar. I don't think they count as weapons, so the druid can make unarmed attacks or attacks with natural weapons without breaking the oath. see above Well, I wonder where the list comes from, originally. How did the scimitar appear on it. But I think that the druid isn't to screwed up weapon-wise: they have the scimitar, a decent weapon, and they may also use their god's favored weapon, which is the thing they may want to use anyway.
