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

I'm just RP'ing my character man. Don't make it weird.

imagine having a whole world of fantasy magic and deciding instead of playing out your fantasy, you play as someone who also wants to play out their fantasy

I'll make you imagine them enforcing their fursuit fantasy whilst speaking with a texan accent 😈

😱

One of my players is a Protector Aasimar Ranger from Texas who's celestial lineage comes from David Bowie

That sounds amazing.

ahahaha

Billy Myers

Full on Texan
Absolute mad lad

when you say they are from texas, is your setting just the real world but with magic because that sounds amazing

Yes
World War II

Session 1 was Normandy
