We always did in my games (ones I played and ones I've run). But I don't see/can't find, now, any definitive explanation in the PHB. So, your call, Mr. DM. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />2) Are we doing Druid's as priests of a nature deity (does Melnibonean mythos have a nature deity?) or just worshippers of/getting their powers from the "natural" energies of the world? Either one works for me, just curious for potential character personality/rp-reasons.Here's what I have/am thinking so far (let me know if there's anything that sticks out/won't work for the setting/world):Half-elf/Female (been a while since I played a female <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />)Druid/1True Neutral (obviously)S: 10 (+1 age) = 11I: 12W: 16 (+1 age) = 17 (! Woohoo!)D: 14C: 11Ch: 16 (I had forgotten how high a Druid's Cha had to be! Sheesh!)So, as is, +10% XP for both Wis & Cha over 15! Yay.No ability bonuses/penalties for a Half-Elf.Starting age (using the "Cleric" column, half-elf row for Non-human Character, DMG p. 12): 40 + 4= 44 (just the low end of Mature for a half-elf: +1 Str., +1 Wis.?! SHWEET!)Ok, moving ahead with this, why not?Ht: 67" (what's that? 5'...7" Not bad.)/Wt: 98 lbs. (Skinny lil thing. But guess that works for the low-end/mediocre Str. and Con.).Wpn Prof: 2 (+1/5 lvls): I'll go with a "Cudgel" (neatly carved to resemble a boar at the business end...a.k.a. a Club*) and Sling to start.*Note: there is no Club or Cudgel listed on the Weapons/Equipment price list. So I am assuming it was made for me by someone in my order or I made it myself, or, heck, just found a sturdy piece of branch with a bulbous end on the ground? haha. Is there no charge?DM Request: I would like to have a silver bladed hand/small sickle. This would be a "sacred" item for gathering herbs, not intended for use as a weapon (and obviously, if I did, it would be at the Non-proficient penalty anyway). Sickles are also not on the Equipment list, so using Dagger as a base (2gp) can I put down a silver sickle in my equipment for, say, 5gp?Also concerning equipment, as a Druid am I using a "Holy Symbol" (of wood, I would guess) or Sprigs of Mistletoe (which is also not on the equipment list, so I would/could use Belladonna sprigs - they are practically the same herb- for 4 sp a pop?)So...um...yeah, this character seems to be shaping up nicely/forming in my imagination rather quickly.I'll wait for answers to my questions and then solidify/finalize a listing for this lady of the land.--SD</blockquote>
