Rules Questions


Can a worshiper of Gozreh use metal weapons? i know a druid can't use metal armor but what about a cleric?

Taboos
You are forbidden to pollute the sky or despoil the natural world, unless the end result is a net gain for nature (such as the sacking of farmland so that it may be reclaimed by the forest). When such damage is unavoidable, you must clean it as soon as possible. Your failure to do
so may result in your own water being fouled or your breath coming short in your lungs until you have made your error right or cleansed pollution
left by another. You’re unlikely to build with brick or forge metals, and in general attempt to keep your tools as close as possible to their natural state, opting for materials like beautiful wood, ivory, pearls, or seashells for decoration.

got that off the book faiths of balance i plan to make a cleric of Gozreh but not sure what my limitations are.


Nothing in there states that you cannot use metal weapons. Using metal weapons does not pollute the sky or despoil the natural world. Mining doesn't have to do so either.

It's largely a roleplaying limitation rather than a forbiddance. You can still use such items, but if possible, try to acquire more suitable equipment. If crafting your own, definitely do so.


Favoured weapon is the trident, which does have some metal bits. I'd say metal in and of itself isn't prohibited, but don't go overboard. If folks mistake you for a Gorumite, you're doing it wrong.


alright thanks

magic weapons don't have to be made of metal anyway, so dragonhide armor, bone/wood/obsidian weapons...

It's all good.
