You are at one with nature. Almost a cross between a cleric and a hunter, or even a mage and a hunter, your power comes from nature. You can tame any beast and conjure the natural forces to your aide

A druid is akin to a priest who worships nature. Druids are similar to hunters in that they can befriend creature and use throwing or projectile weapons with ease. Druids are similar to mages in that they can use sorcery with ease and some of their abilities seem magical. Druids are also similar to clerics in their worship of nature. Druids are often regarded with curiosity by others, if not disdain for their natural way of life. Druids can harness the true power of nature and even learn to summon spirits or make true familiars.

Effects on Weapon Usage

Druids are not warriors, but they can use many of the skills and weaponry that a hunter would use. They aren't proficient at all with weapons of true carnage, such as swords, axes, or spears.

Effects on Armor Usage

Druids are unable to wear heavy armor. They must stick with light armor. Druids can wear other armor types if they acquire the right armor skill, however, they will suffer double the initiative and evade penalties of any armor that isn't light.
