Frendh:
I kind of broke this one from day 1.

I used copper bullets for my sling. I thought, "I'll use these until I can find some stone bullets". But I have not found any so far. Then the sickle, are there any stone sickles?

Later on I will most likely just use a scimitar. But it is not something I want to use in the early stage of his adventuring life.

Shiokara:
Not sure what the official say on this is, but I can tell you that stone tools and weapons (for the most part) don't exist in-game. I think the one that I did see drop was a stone dagger that had a -1 modifier on it, so they're not very practical. As with some Wemic submissions I have seen (a race that doesn't use much beyond stone), though, I think most just RP that the weapon is made from stone. I can't comment more on the sickle, though, sorry.

Most druids I have seen go either the scimitar route or the short staff route for melee. Short staves work well because they are wood, and their bludgeoning damage type works well for slaying those unnatural undead aberrations. Additionally, silver enhancements work on a blunt weapon, but not for slashing weapons because the enhancement's damage bonus counts as slashing (the two don't seem to stack). Since you can use a wooden tower shield with either, it can provide you with some much-needed AC (especially if you're a sporting leathers to match lore instead of the mechanically given medium armors). A Walking Stick of the Hierophant is a great find for a starting druid since it's essentially a +1 modified short staff.

Copper bullets are, as far as I can tell, ok to use. Just RP that you're using stones. If you're not ok with that, you could make the argument that the bullets are a negligible interference. After all it's the wearing of metal that interferes with one's connection to nature.

miltonyorkcastle:
Thank you, Frendh, for coming forward with this. Shiokara is right on, and we have addressed the issues surrounding the lesser uses of metal (like for bullets) in past threads. They can be RP'd as stone, since we don't have any mechanical way to compensate.

IceDragonDuvessa:
There are also wooden clubs in game that you can use if you don't care for the sickle/scimitar options. Rhizome once explained it to me like this: a sickle was ok because you could use it to harvest and groom the land if that makes you feel better about things.

Dorganath:
To add...

Sickle, dagger and Scimitar are traditionally ceremonial "weapons" for a druid. Ideally, we'd have Ironwood for the scimitar and obsidian for the dagger and sickles....but we don't. These are all OK to use as-is without worrying about oaths and connections and things.
