[QUOTE="Ohmyn, post: 7628595, member: 6999115"] Yes, chaotic evil is a perfectly acceptable alignment for Druids, just as it is for any other class, including Clerics and Paladins. If it wasn't they wouldn't have the option. 2 out of 5 of the Nature deities available in the 5E Forgotten Realms pantheon are evil, one of which is Chaotic Evil, and both evil options are available for worship of either Druids or Clerics. Also, Druids are known to be allowed to use any metal items they want, hence having the option of a selection of metal weapons, and the freedom to gain proficiency in any metal weapons they wish. The only prohibition is on armor, so yes, they could ride around on motorbikes, just as they could ride in a metal carriage or swing a giant metal hammer. This isn't just a "Druids should be able to do this" dialogue; the rules explicitly allow it. For example, the Forgotten Realms Pantheon includes Auril, goddess of winter.
