[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 7697891, member: 5834"] This is not true. The Catholic Church has broken apart into many different denominations worshiping in different fashions. You can find differences from one country to the next as far as how Catholicism is practiced. Unified worship is very uncommon. I find it unrealistic to have it so in D&D. It makes the world less believable when dwarven druids worship nature in the same fashion as elven druids. Dwarves love stone and metal. Why would not they want to honor such parts of nature by using them? I don't agree that druids are all part of one similar religion. They all worship nature, but not in the same fashion. I prefer to flavor my druidism according to the culture that follows it. I picture dwarven mountain druids as carefully scrutinizing mining and stonework. I believe they would teach proper metalwork and preservation of mineral resources. I see no reason why they would eschew metal armor rather than teach how to craft metal armor in a very efficient manner. Using real world adherents to a faith is a box of worms you don't want to open because adherents of a particular faith don't worship the same way. Likely never have and never will.
