[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9354465, member: 2209"] While Wonder Woman bracers is a neat concept there is nothing in the text description to indicate the typical magic user wearers are actively using them like shields they cannot use. The text is that their magic bestows an AC. Bracers of Defense: These items appear to be some sort of wrist or arm guards. [B]Their magic bestows an effective armor class[/B] equal to actually wearing armor and employing a shield. Of course, if armor is actually worn, the bracers will not be effective, but they do work in conjunction with other magical items of protection. The armor class the bracers of defense bestow is determined by random dicing on the table below: Armor Class 01-05 8 06-15 7 16-35 6 36-50 5 51-70 4 71-85 3 86-00 2 A couple things here. First 1e PH druids cannot multiclass. If they could presumably the entry would say whether multiclassed druids could or could not use armor or non druid weapons the way the multiclassed cleric ones do. :) The druid text states that metal armor spoils druid magic, while the MU text states that their lack of martial training usually prohibits them from doing so. Also clerics are prohibited from using edged weapons but multi-classed clerics in 1e can. :) PH page 33: "Cleric combinations (with fighter types) may use edged weapons." Additionally PH page 17: "Half-elven characters who choose the cleric as one of their multi-classes aren’t limited by that class’ proscriptions upon weapons usable, but they are quite restricted in level."
