How do they get there spells... through prayer?

Also... could someone explain to me (canonicaly is assume) why Lurue is not a valid spell giving deity?

I really wanted my Druid to have it's patron deity to be Lurue, so i'd appreciate to know why Lurue is not able to grant her followers spells.

Lurue

That's from the Faiths of Faerun forum. Druids are her PRIMARY worshippers....

Please help me out!

Thank you for all help friends :D

Hey.. thank you for your help on that... but i actually talked to Howland, and he said that Lurue isn't a valid deity.

I think it is though... and now that i rolled a char to test and checked the same thing, and it is as you say.

Anyway.. thank you!

I was wrong.

But you were just testing, right? Right?

No, I am afraid I allowed my great and personal OOC dislike for the Lurue NPC/deity to overwhelm me!

Found this tidbit here:

http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Druid

"Druids are divine spellcasters who receive their spells from nature, not the gods."

Funny, why would you even need a diety to get spells from if they come from nature not the gods?

Relevant question!

Clerics have their alignments restricted by their deity. (it reads clerical alignments in the description)

Druids have their alignment restricted by their class.

Do Druids also have their alignments restricted by deity?

If I've lost you, ex. Can a N Druid of Malar cast spells?

NWN Wiki parrots what BioWare put in their crappy manuals and/or "help" screens; which means its stat/class/alignment explanations are even more unreliable than the mechanical notes.

The Realms work differently than the D&D standard campaign setting in 3rd/3.5E (Greyhawk).

Could it be that your doing the blasphemous act of wearing Metal armor as a druid of Lurue? If I remember reading right you can only wear metal if your a druid of Mielikki, all others have to wear only leather or cloth.

I dont think he had created yet. I think he was talking to howland on IRC, got a incorrect answer, and brought it up here. Then it was checked- and he made and was all good. >_>

Meanwhile, I'd love a response to my question. <_<

1. Yes.

2. No.

You sure? For some reason I thought a druid that was true neutral could take any of the druid deities and cast spells. Well, learn something new everyday.

The same restrictions apply to druid alignments as to cleric alignments, IE they follow the one-step rule, in addition to which a druid must be neutral. Malar is CE, from which CN and NE are one step away, so CN and NE are the allowed druid alignments (CE not being neutral).

True Neutral is an exception in that a cleric or a druid may be TN only if their deity is also TN. I'm fairly sure this applies to druids too.

Or ironwood. But that's not available in the Underdark.

We do have druid armors fashioned from the carapaces of some tough Underdark creatures, though, which don't really count as "leather". So, druids can wear medium or heavy armor too, as long as it's "natural" enough. (Don't ask me where the line goes, though!)

But eh, going off topic now, seems the original concern was long since answered.

The lines are draw at -metal-. No metal armor of any type. No studded Leather.
