[QUOTE="RPG_Tweaker, post: 3891511, member: 13041"] I just hope they remove the horribly inane weapon and armor restrictions. Stone and metal are just as much an "earth" component as a plant or animal. In fact killing trees for wooded weapons and animals for leather and hides would seem to be a far greater source of violating nature. If I were in charge: There'd be a sage-caster feat tree, with proficiency in light armor, and simple weapons. They'd be the arboreal powered spellcasters. A shapeshifter feat tree with proficiency in light armor, light shields, simple weapons, and one martial weapon. They'd begin with simple animal and were-forms and level up to bigger badass types. A warrior-witch feat tree with proficiency in medium armor, medium shields, simple weapons and 3 martial weapons. They'd be somewhere between a bard and warlock in effects. If I were to include any limitation to materials: Before donning an animal hide or wooded armor for the first time, the druid must be have it absolved of its death by communing with its animal spirit; a basic ritual taking 1d6 hours. Metal armor requires communing with the earth spirits (which are notoriously less communicative) requiring 3d4 hours. Disregarding these rituals will cause the druid to suffer 4 points of temporary CON damage immediately. This effect will last until 24 hours after the armor is removed.
