Armor suggestion for Druids

[Zorinar]

In FK, I think that Druids are very restricted in terms of availability of spells and equipment. As there is already a thread discussing the lack of spells, I would like to point out that decent Armor seems lacking for the FK Druid.


In D&D, Druids can, and usually do, create their own armor. They have a spell that morphs wood into full-plate or whatever kind of armor they want, and then they have another spell that turns said armor into Ironwood, making the armor as strong as steel, light as wood and does not burn. Eventually, they can create +1 ironwood armor. This is a common ability for Druids in D&D.

I offer two suggestions here:

1) Offer a spell that creates Ironwood armor that has a duration (Just like the real Druids spells are like: 1 day per level in D&D), that gives a type of armor depending on the spell skill. (Please dont wait until GM for full plate)


2) Even easier, offer an NPC that sells ironwood armor to Druids only.


Here are the two spells from the Druid spell list from D&D Wik
----------------------------

Wood Shape
Level 2
Components: V,S DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: One touched piece of wood no larger than 10 cu feet/level
Duration: Instant
Save: Will negates (object)
Spell Resistance: Yes(Object)

Wood shape enables you to form one existing piece of wood into any shape that suits your purpose. While it is possible to make crude coffers, doors, and so forth, fine detail isn't possible. There is a 30% chance that any shape that includes moving parts simple doesn't work.



----------------------



Ironwood
Level: 6
Components: V,S,M
Casting time: 1 min/lb created
Range 0
Effect An ironwood object weighing up to 5 lb/ level
Duration: 1 day per level
Save: none
SR: no

Ironwood is a magical substance created by druids from normal wood. While remaining natural wood in almost every way, ironwood is strong, heavy and resistant to fire as steel. Spells that affect metal or iron do not affect ironwood function on ironwood. Spells that affect wood do affect ironwood, although ironwood does not burn. Using this spell with wood shape or wood related craft check, you can fashion wooden items that function as steel items. Thus, wooden plate armour and swords can be created that are durable as their normal steel counterparts. These items are freely usable by druids.

Further, if you make only half as much ironwood as the spell would normally allow, any weapon, shield, or suit of armour is treated as a magic item with a +1 enchantment bonus.

Component: wood shaped item into the form of the intended object.

That sounds pretty good. I agree that Druids are not nearly as powerful on FK as they should be. It would be nice to see them get some consideration, especially considering how RP-intensive playing a Druid is.
