Layonara - View Single Post - Aggressive Druid and Rping towards animals

I have a small opinion related question about druids. I know they live for protecting the forest and the animals, does that prohibit them from eating meat? In the most literal sense they shouldn't even wear leather seeing as that is animal hide. Would it be permissable for them to sleep under fur blankets or wear leather armor?

I understand that the balance must be kept and that is the reason for the question, can Druids hunt and consume within the boundries of the balance? Like hunting animals for food since animals themselves hunt for food. As well as wearing or making leather armor out of animal hide.

Also, I've never played a druid on Layonara. But how does wood gathering work for Druids? Can they forage like rangers? I think it would be RP worthy to allow them to forage, since that would be like collecting fallen branchs instead of chopping, because without it how can a druid make his own defenses such as staves and bows?

Lastly, would be the RP rules for an agressive druid? Would he be warrented in attacking or hunting violent animals? Example be the ettercap and spider outside the cave in sielwood, would the spiders and the bug be suitable targets as they are overly aggresive towards travelers?
