[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7697300, member: 12731"] YOU choose to look at it that way. You could as easily have said "all druids have chosen, out of their free will, to abhor metal armor", which would mean the problem you talk about cease to exist. Look, I understand. YOU want to play a druid with AC 17 half plate, fine. Go ask your DM if that's okay in your campaign. But stop trying to make it like druids in general abstain from superior metal armor only because they don't like the consequences of doing so. It's not meant to be a rational decision. There are no "consequences", at least none you can put on paper. It's meant to be a question of faith. Druids will not wear armor or use shields made out of metal [B]for intangible reasons best left up to each druid character.[/B] Make your own personal choice. Or leave it undefined, that works well too. I'm not saying you have to like this design decision, or even that it's a good design decision. This post is [B]only[/B] trying to explain to you that it is a viable decision and my speculation as to why it could have been made. :) [/QUOTE]
