Druid Combat Abilities

With every level, druids roll a d8 to determine their hit points. At 1st level, druids are presumed to have rolled an ‘8’ on the die, starting with ‘full’ hit points. Druids also gain hit points for their body mass, which is rolled by the DM.

Druids are unable to make use of metal armor of any type (even studding or reinforcing metal, and are therefore limited to leather, wood or turtle-shell for their armor. Turtle-shell armor is equivalent to scale mail.

Druids begin with two weapon proficiencies. A new weapon proficiency is gained for every five levels above 1st.
