jonnytheshirt - 1/31/2005 3:29 PMok thanks - my druid does use a bow sometimes however, being a follower of Kithairien the great hunter, you cant really throw the spear, just mini ones via a bow - but if this is deemed OOC please note. good stuff i really do agree woodworking is certainly a druidish art. just got to geta a martial feat then.
Brutoss - 2/6/2005 11:28 PMVersion 3.5 of the D&D rules has removed the part about "spiritual oaths prohibit them from using weapons other than these". In fact, under current D&D rules Druids can use any weapon that the become proficient in (Elveen druids using bows is accepted as standard). The problem with the NWN engine is that Druids don't even seem to be offered the choice. My druid just recently gained a new level and I wanted to be able to use simple weapons like the axe for wood chopping (i.e. gathering the fallen timber). I couldn't take Simple or Martial Weapon Profiency because that option was just not offered. :-(
Komoda - 8/19/2005 3:56 PMPlaying a druid myself, it would be nice if wood crafting included bone. The premise to a druid is that nothing should go to waste. Thus I could see a druid having a craft that made use of ever type of plant, animal, element and nature. A druid could use an iron rod, but not one that has been sharpened. Though you could enchant the rod to have flame, be cold or what have you.It also depends on where your druid comes from, from whatever realm or part of Layonara. It all comes down to what the druid believes is their role in nature.I am finding the best course, is stick to the natural weapons. Even the weapons provided for by other animals is the best course. It would e great if there was slicer beetles, as that would give a druid a natural vorpal blade. Sword spiders are another such animal that give a druid a weapon that would be quite nasty.I often wondered about such things for the druid, as they should be able to use what ever weapons they can fashion from the remains of animals.Shark-tooth sword = fishing, woodcraft, leathercraftJade Mace = has a moh of 5.5 to 6.5, would make short work of piece of plate mail, splinter splint mail, crush the individual rings of ring mail. My reasoning for this, the chinese used to use it for blacksmithing, for their hammers and anvils.crystal darts = gem crafting, not only would they be like shards, they could also be made hollow to have a poison. Probably you would need exotic weapon feat, as the delivery would have to be a blowgun.As a druid, you need to look where others miss, and as a player of a druid, you have to just hope that such creativity was written into the game mechanics.
