(there have been a couple of posts made while I was writing this so this post might seem off in some places. I have tried to edit it appropiately.)
It is not this team's fault that they are in conflict with your interpretation of the druid class. In my opinion, stretching druidic concepts to encompass mechanical issues really doesn't help anyone.
I realize it is not your fault that I do not understand. That is why I am asking questions so I do not get a "We have been observing you and you are not playing your druid correctly and your submission will be revoked".
I am not going to ask anyone to spend more time on this unless they really want to.
I have been using lore to read up on druids. I thought that was enough. I have already read the linked posts but I have not looked through the forums for old topics about druids.
But if you think I covet the Helmet of Armor, you are wrong. The only character I have who owns helmet of armor II does not use it. He has 8 or so barkskin amulets. I think one of my sorcerers has the helmet of armor 1.
What I wanted was the xp reward. And maybe money if I had traded the helm.
splitting semantic and mechanical hairs about coins and loot and things will not help this discussion.
I meant this discussion to be about everything that druids are and are not allowed to do. So I find the answers to coin and loot very helpful.
I think it is important to be clear about what things you are allowed to do mechanically but should be RPed as something else and the things you are not allowed to do at all.
To me many things are quite vague. For instance, the part about coins and fancy gear was a big surprise. Maybe you do not realize it but what milty said was really confusing to me because the druids have I played with have taken part of coin and loot items like the rest of us.
I just assumed I am allowed the fancy gear as long as it conforms with the rules set by the hierarchy. Because I brought up the thing about jewelry before and I was given an Okay.
I think adding to the druid information would not be amiss, for instance adding links to relevant threads at the bottom of the druid information page would help. Like the two Rowana linked.
Could you point me to that lore posting? I did a quick search on the places I was aware of druid lore existing and I did not find such a statement. This is important because if it is stated the way you are interpreting it, it's a false statement about druid society.
It was poorly worded on my part. I should have said hierarchy.
5.In part of keeping the balance of nature the hierarchy realizes that a druid may need to fight creatures that are resistant to their normal blunt style weapons. As such the hierarchy has determined that the use of a scimitar should be allowed for the protection of a druid. This is the only processed and refined weapon that is allowed to be used by a druid.
*chimes in*
Thanks :-)
I am greatful for the detailed information I got here since I want to do it right the first time around.
