[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 460361, member: 259"] As I've said in other threads, I think this is the goofiest rule in 3E -- a druid can, for example, throw a stone at someone using a sling, but if she picks a stone off the ground and hurls it at someone, she breaks her druidic vows. (my more colorful example involves a wildshaped-into-a-monkey druid flinging feces, but I won't repeat that one here). There are two good compromises, IMHO: Mean compromise: rewrite druidic rules such that they cannot use any weapon or armor made from metal. This makes lots of sense to me, but removes the scimitar and other nice weapons from their reach. Allow them proficiency in all simple and martial weapons to make up for this. Nice compromise: their list of weapons becomes like a rogue's list of weapons: it's what they know how to use, not what they're allowed to use. If they somehow gain proficiency in a falchion, a greatclub, or a longbow, they're allowed to use it. Daniel [/QUOTE]
