I even said I'm on the fence on the druid thing. I'd lean towards restricting so that Hide Armor actually has purpose. Otherwise, it's pretty much junk armor.
The entire purpose of Hide armor IS Druid. If you let Druids use Studded Leather or Chain or Scale, Hide is meaningless. It IS 100% Druid related. I didn't make this up. It's a D&D thing. No one who can use Studded Leather would pick Hide instead unless for some reason they couldn't acquire Studded Leather.
Look at the entire design of Hide armor. Made of animal skins and furs and such. No other class would care for such armor.
So, my point was that either restrict the class to certain armors or get rid of Hide. It's totally unnecessary in the game unless you restrict Druids.
And I'm not the one to restrict Studded Leather. Many people feel it is metal related, but again I said that some don't restrict it. But again, if you don't, and a Druid can have Studded Leather instead, why take Hide over Studded? So, again, I'm inclined to restrict so Hide at least has some purpose.
As for Shield Dwarves, yeah, I forgot they put a Homebrew subclass in BG3. Most common dwarf subraces are Hill and Mountain with Duergar next in line.
Shield Dwarves gaining Shield proficiency is supposed to replace the typical Dwarven Weapon Proficiency, if I recall. It's not supposed to be on top of everything else. I also don't remember seeing that Shield Dwarves are supposed to get Light or Medium Armor Proficiency. I believe that is another Larian Homebrew. So, I'm not talking homebrew because lots of Larian homebrew offsets the balance of D&D.
