Why do druids consider this metal? A water or air resistance or immunity might be nice. Your plastic looks like it could have some potential for a lot of fun customization. The duel begins. --Franken Kesey (talk) 20:41, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Druids consider this metal because plastic is artificial, typically non-biodegradable, and otherwise against the spirit of druidism. There's no water and air resistance because water and air have no particular weakness or strength against plastics. Also, those are descriptors, not energy types.
Challenge accepted. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 20:44, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
Might consider stating that druids cannot use plastic, because they consider it artificial, instead considering it metal. Most plastics are water proof and air-tight. Generally plastic breaks under enough pressure from both, thus immunity may not be best, but there cannot be anything wrong with resistance. --Franken Kesey (talk) 20:55, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
Same means, different working. I choose to word it WotC does. There's another material out there, deep crystal, which says "treat this as metal" even though its stone. As for water and air... that would only apply if the suit was a fully sealed water/airproof suit, and that has less to do with material and more to do with construction. Use the Light Pressure Suit (3.5e Equipment) and Heavy Pressure Suit (3.5e Equipment) for those. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 06:30, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
A jacket with a plastic sheen makes the wearer water proof, at least from one direction. I hear you that it is not water-tight. And see that this could give directional resistance. --Franken Kesey (talk) 17:57, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
