[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 7623858, member: 6906155"] You are a vegetarian if you [I]choose[/I] not to eat meat. Sometimes vegetarians lapse and eat meat because they are not sufficiently strong willed to resist it. They feel guilty and try not to eat meat next time. It's the same with celibate priests. Sometimes a celibate priest will have sex. They do not stop being a priest. Sometimes they will repent and seek forgiveness, perhaps doing some kind of penance. Sometimes they will cover it up and try to pretend it didn't happen, with or without the connivance of church authorities. Now the 5e rules do not have any penalties for druids who wear metal armour. You might prefer to call them a lapsed-druid or a fallen-druid, but that is just a name, so far as the rules are concerned it has no effect on their abilities. Now you are completely entitled to rule that in your setting druids who wear metal armour lose their abilities - making special rules for you own setting is also completely within the rules. My cat is an obligate carnivore. Sometimes my cat eats cheese. It does not stop being a cat. [/QUOTE]
