Druish Items

[thundershot]

The Druid entry in the PHB says what weapons that they can use, and armor, but can Druids wear magical bracers? Also, what else CAN they use?


Thanks!

Yes any class of characters can use magical bracers. Well, except for the Forsaker I suppose...

"Why yes, these bracers DO look nice on my-- WHAT?! They're MAGICAL!?" <throws them to ground> <starts beating them with heavy mace> "DIE FOUL ABOMINATION!!!"

But bracers were designed to protect the forearm, so if they're made of metal, no go.

The druidic prohibition is on metal armor, not metal magic items that provide an armor bonus. Bracers of Armor are a Wondrous Item, not a Magic Armor.

To answer the initial question: Druids can use an magic item that doesn't specify otherwise; any non-metal magic armor; any magic weapon which matches the weapons from their class list.

That's what inspired the name of the note, of course. I'm a HUGE Spaceballs fan.

Zhure: Thanks! That'll work. I've never had a player use a druid for longer than 3 levels... Now that MotW is out, I need to brush up on my DMing.
