[QUOTE="Ohmyn, post: 7624495, member: 6999115"] I was more going off of the typical core mechanics in 5E. Sure, I know Elves aren't actual Fey, but that's why I said they had a natural proclivity for the Feywild and not that they were Fey themselves. Elvish and Sylvan share an alphabet, and almost every non-evil Fey in the Monster Manual, from Sprites to Satyrs to Treants and Dryads, have Elvish as a default language on top of their normal Sylvan. Elves are pretty commonly known for elegant chain shirts and rapiers, and I've never once heard of Fey having a dislike for any Elf that decided to wear or wield metal of any kind. Druids by default sure don't share a language with Fey, unless they're an Elf or they're a Shepherd Druid. I've also never heard of Fey having a distaste for a Nature Cleric donning metal. I feel like the DM has to be taking pretty great strides to make a Fey creature in 5E hate the Druid wielding a metal shield, but be perfectly buddy-buddy with the Elven Nature Cleric, or the Elven Oath of the Ancients Paladin, wielding their metal shield while wearing full plate.
