In my experience, everyone like stonefruit and makes every effort to gather some when they're ripe.

Who hates V:tM 2e that much?

Actually, Champions 4th edition. Which came out in 1989, so, yeah, I'm old.

I just can't get worked up about druids wearing full plate. "Buh buh but they won't wear armor made of metal!" you say? Fine. Here's some full plate made of, I dunno, ankheg chitin or petrified wood or whatever. Deal with it.

In principle, yes. In practice, having that sort of thing make sense in the game's narrative and not feel like favoritism is ... not always easy or simple.

Eh, the way I see it? If the player is willing to sacrifice an ASI to get proficiency with heavy armor, and willing to sacrifice a thousand gold coins for full plate, I'm willing to sacrifice the sacred cow of "druids with bad armor."

I was just updating my house rules, and that was next on the to-do list. That whole "druids won't wear armor made of metal" thing never sat right with me, so I'm fixing it by allowing more armors that aren't made of metal. You want a breastplate, mighty archdruid? Go hunt some bugs.

Plot twist:

My Druid's armor is made of live rust monster.

Come get it, fighting-man.

A "summon rust monster" spell just showed up on my Druid spell list.
