[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7538080, member: 23751"] So first, there's no mechanical restriction on druids regarding metal armor. There is a statement that they will not wear it, but that's fluff. A druid PC who says to the DM that he puts on full plate is still capable of casting spells, wildshaping and using the rest of his abilities. Second, paladins, unlike druids, do have a mechanical restriction as they can lose their paladinhood if they break their oaths. It's discretionary on the part of the DM, but it's a rather hefty mechanical restriction on paladins. Third, those aren't the only two classes with restrictions. Barbarians are also mechanically restricted in that not all of their abilities work if they are wearing armor heavier than light. Wizards are mechanically restricted in what spells that can memorize if they lose their spellbook. And monks lose abilities when wearing armor. [/QUOTE]
