[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 356725, member: 1465"] I don't think so. A normal short or long bow is entirely made of wood (apart the string, but druids are not prohibited from using ropes) but still they can't use it. Do you change such a bow if you cast Ironwood on it? OTOH druids use scimitars and sickles, don't they have metal in themselves? I think druids restrictions are not strictly base on materials, sometimes is the technical complexity of the tool to limit its use. Strangely enough, no restriction is stated for very complex non-combat items (they can use caltrops, any lantern, any vehicle...), so it doesn't seem to follow a real logic path. That's why the sage said it's more "flavor" then anything, just like the old oath for cleric non using slashing weapons in 2ed.
