[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7623189, member: 6803664"] I'm sorry, but you do not get to sit here in 5e & demand that {optional/essentially optional} rules from previous editions must be valid. Besides, I don't see you also demanding that your lv advancement be limited by the Druidicide spelled out in the 1e PHB. Go ahead, admit it. You don't really want/envision chain or plate wearing druids, you just want a higher AC. Wich every druid player ever has wanted. So just MC a single lv of barbarian for the unarmoured defense.... Or bring it up in a reasonable manner to your DM & see how they feel about it. (though it sounds like you did & got told "No", thus your rant) DMs taking a moment to consider details of their world is not a bad thing. And this answer doesn't have to be immediately determined.... There's been a lot of questions over the years that I've punted with something like: (me shrugging) "Maybe. You ask your superiors & they don't know of any examples, but they do recommend you go ask _____ in _____ {someplace conveniently a decent ways away, thus giving me time to consider it as adventuring will ensue en-route.:)) As for how you have proficiency in an armor you've never trained in? Have you ever heard of this thing called [I]m a g i c[/I]? Perhaps it's a divine boon granted by your god (played by I, your DM). "[I]If you can figure out the riddle of how to get non-metallic 1/2plate, you'll discover that I've given you the prof. to use it. ;)" [/I] I think this bears repeating.... As for how you have proficiency in an armor you've never trained in? Have you ever heard of this thing called [I]m a g i c[/I]? Perhaps it's a divine boon granted by your god (played by I, your DM). "[I]If you can figure out the riddle of how to get non-metallic 1/2plate, you'll discover that I've given you the prof. to use it. ;)"[/I] [/QUOTE]
