druids and craftiing
IceDragonDuvessa:
I may be totally off on it but isn't it forbidden after going druid to take any more weapon feats?
jonnytheshirt:
Yep that is the discussion..the problem being that game mechanicss prevent access to Crafts - the subject being that of woodcraft in particular see above.
So is it impossible to take a feat in martial weapons?
"Most layonarans have a stereotypical image of druids: druids are nature loving elven defenders of forest and worshippers of Katia. ..Do not be fooled , druids are an extraordinarily diverse group"..from the ol Layo hande booke.
Part of the discussion is therefore thinking outside the box and RP..if martial is possible the char will only wield an axe for chopping wood and not be wandering around with greatswords and Dwarven Shield axes of Death.
steverimmer:
Actually I don't agree with elven druids not being able to use bows. The fact is that there are many types of druid as the handbook states (I won't quote it here as the passage is too long and we all have a copy of the handbook right? :D ) needless to say that a druid who is concentrated on say a marine habitat or in the case of my druid a desert one will not have the same regard for trees as say a druid who's habitat is a forest. It is true that he will revere them as a living thing but consider this; if a druid cannot use a bow as it comes from a tree which is a living thing how then can he wear leather armour or use a wooden shield, or use any weapon at all that is in NWN? All of these things come from living things in this game...either plants or animals. If this rule was enforced then we're about to see a lot of druids frolicking naked in the streets of Hlint I think :D
Dorganath:
From the 3rd Edition Player's Handbook, Page 34:
"Druids are proficient with the following weapons: club, dagger, dart, halfspear, longspear, quarterstaff, scimitar, sickle, shortspear and sling. Their spiritual oaths prohibit them from using weapons other than these."
Any questions? ;)
So it's not a matter of desert druids having more or less regard for trees, or elves being naturally able to wield bows. It has to do with the oaths of druids.
Wood isn't the problem. See clubs, spears, staves, etc. The problem is the weapon.
nabokov9:
agreed, and note that the v3.5 Player's Handbook has the same list.
