I've habitually avoided ranger from how weak I heard it was

Ranger is fun
Original 5e ranger is weak

But revised ranger is a lot of fun

so far I only played rogue and druid in 3.5... didn't have much chance to play rogue in 5e

in 5e it's easier to get your sneaks which is good

oh yeah... I killed some undead beast thanks to my sneak attack

So
Now I have a question to the DM here
@TT
If pieces of dragons could be forged into weapons and armor like metal, could a Druid use armor made from forged dragon bits?

if a druid can wear hide I don't see why they couldn't wear dragonscale, same principle imo

Well
You can make plate out of this stuff by forging it
It works like a metal but comes from dragons

if I was the GM, I would permit druids wearing dragonscale armor even if it was crafted into heavy armors like scale mail

the principle is that druids don't like the fact that metal armors are unnatural

Ok
That has been my current idea about how it will go
There's no druid in my party yet
But that seems to me to very much be a 'yet' with my party

If it makes plate it can make scales/rings for armors that would count as medium. Just drop the effectiveness down to match from their dragon plate counterparts if that's a concern.

yeah the thing about 5e is that I think it's mostly built around the balance of the numbers rather than the fluff, generally in these situations what I would do is use something "mechanically legal" and flavour it however I decide

Currently, it confers bonuses based on what kind of dragon it came from, but it also weighs more on average

Weight increase corresponds to a dex modifier penalty, if you so choose.

"The idea is that druids prefer to be protected by animal skins, wood, and other natural materials that aren’t the worked metal that is associated with civilization."

Also true.

Thanks guys

honestly it's a good question, I'll be thinking about it for a while on how druids handle that cognitive dissonance between hating metal and there being animals that they can harvest metal from

Ooh
A debate

maybe it's like, vegan burgers hahaha

tofurkey?

Also, daggers, scimitars, sickles, and spears tend to have pointy metal bits.

They use those enough

I mean in theory one could make those from stone but... yeah metal > stone

Stone scimitar?

That would be interesting

Bone works.

Yes
It does

sure, wooden body and just add shards of flint stone or obsidian

or shark teeth

or or or, loads of primitive weapons that don't use metal for their cutting edge

Spears and daggers, yes

And arrows

maybe druids are just the fantasy equivalent of virtue signaling sjws

more like the peta crazies

Come on now. Definitely the furries.

They shapeshift man.

oh god please don't make me imagine a player enforcing his fursuit fantasy into my campaigns

my druid shapeshifted from an antropomorphic bear into a human xD
