[QUOTE="Lost Soul, post: 7697883, member: 81242"] I disagree. It should be standardized because the power comes from nature & naturally occurring things. Wearing metal armor is unnatural. I heard from a Jewish friend that their holy books could not be written with a metal pen. A goose quill had to be used since metal signified death & a quill stood for life. I do not know if this was true as I am not Jewish but it was a cool thought process. I feel druids are the same way. If you want to create a nature cleric and have him in metal armor, cool. But druids do not wear metal armor and any movement always has something that members do to stand out and mark themselves as different. This IS the big thing for druids. Druids will not wear metal armor period. At best they will use superior hide armor such as from dragons, umber hulks and hook horrors that may approximate plate armors but no metal will be involved. Or they will use the spell that turns wood into steel for hardness and flexibility thus enabling them to use "plate armor" made of wood and still keep their vows. The VOWS are more important than combat survivability. [/QUOTE]
