I'll bite on the druid armor restriction. Going by the companion rules on the BECMI line of D&D, which was simultaneous with the AD&D editions had the beliefs of the druid written down where they could not use any material that had not at one point been "alive", so leather and wood were acceptable but metal and stone which had never been "alive" were despised by druids and thus not used. Important to note here is that the druids were limited in both armor and weapons to wood and leather so it kept the limitation consistent. This is from the 1984 Dungeons & Dragons Players Companion: Book one by Frank Mentzer, page 14

Druid might be the most slept on class in Bg3 just because of Conjure Woodland Being. The dryad gets *free* casts of spike growth, resistance to magic, has an aura of freedom of movement for the entire party and the aura also gives poison resistance(for what its worth), AND can summon a wood woad for free Entangle *and* tanking when its on an entangled surface. Also means that a single druid can have two casts of spike growth *and* a cast of entangle up at once. My Spore druid usually had four pets behind it, a regular zombie, a spore zombie, a dryad and a wood woad. At level 10 he added an elemental to his retinue when needed. But at least they didn't do Druids dirty like they did Warlocks, where one mob has the undead patron subclass, but you as a player don't get to use it.

In earlier editions there were so many different materials armor could be made from so it wasn’t as a big issue. Also it’s pretty weird how you can use a metal weapon but not armor.

[@denisshmyrev5768]

Different armor materials means different armor stats/buffs/debuffs? I'd like to look at it

[@Lorekeeper72]

Pathfinder 2e (which evolved from Pathfinder 1E which is basically just D&D 3.5) does the different armor materials and types. Solid example, both me and the other fighter have heavy armor and get bulwark which allows us to get a buff to reflex saves against spells but my O-Yoroi also has laminar which allows it to fall apart in stages instead of all at once meaning it lasts longer. I think 5E also has some homebrew supplementals that add more option but they're usually expensive (in game I mean) and then there's things like adamant and mithril

[@skunkmaid]

True, I still never understood why Druids could use a metallic scimitar. But then again, I still love the prestige classes of Planar Guardian or Master of Many forms. Yeah yeah I know, 3.5 and the desire to yell at you 4.0 and 5.0 druids to get off my lawn.

Well, for my 2 copper pieces to throw into the *metal druid armor* ring. 1) while metal can be found in nature, the processes necessary to collect, refine, and forge the armor can be seen as distinctly harmful to nature, more so than killing an animal for its pelt to make leather. 2) I recall a video doing a deep dive on the lore of the forgotten realms, one talking about the elves' connection to the weave, and it mentioned that elves were uniquely sensitive to the weave, and that wearing metal armor would cut them off from the weave, at least in the areas covered. So spell casters that rely on the weave to cast their spells might be affected in a way that casters like clerics and warlocks (whom get their spells from their relationship with an external power) might not be. In summary, metal armor might be too harmful to the environment and could possibly do something weird with a druid's magic, so they don't bother.

Circle of the Land druids can choose any land's spells whenever they get higher spell slots, instead of being stuck with one land circle's spells throughout their career. All druid's animal forms have a lot of utility options added (Like the saber-toothed tiger that can reduce enemy AC and passively regenerates hit points). The owl bear form.

[@abmelonhead4]

This right here. Being able to select the two spells you always have prepared (or which spells you don’t normally get as a druid) vs. making a decision early on and then having whatever spells come with that land category gives a lot more options for players.

[@intotheindie8821]

My mentality with metal equipment is the following for Druids: 1. Manmade material. By that I mean to make a fur coat or leather armor, you can realistically make it in a stone age esk setting. While metals require there to be a lot more advanced techniques in order to make (IE can it be made in a low tech town). The second idea of metal equipment is more of a folk tale origin. To be blunt, Fae in fiction tend to have a similar role to Druids (guardians of nature and all that), so they had a weakness to manmade things. There are 2 main weaknesses known, which is poisons and... iron. To be specific, a Fae touching iron was similar to a Vampire touching silver.

No matter that a lot of the time they didn't hit anyone, they could just stand in the way of melee attacks.

[@kristuphergaming8390]

So, the thing about druids not being able to use metal is very mythologically simple: Fairies in myth are burned by metal, and Druids are connected to primordial nature like fey. Thus, their powers are also negated by metal weapons and armor. Should be metal generally, really, to be fair.

[@nathanaelpoole1369]

I believe that only applirs to ferrus metels- Irom amd steel. So copper and bronze armour should still be on the table.

[@ElijahForLong]

I also think it has to do with the way it is gathered. If your whole purpose is the be a conduit and protector for nature, you can always make a dagger out of bone or chipped rock, or take the branch from a fallen tree as a staff, or use leather taken from an animal they killed as a part of the circle of life. Metals on the other hand requires mining, which is super invasive to nature.
