I think not all rangers are vegetarians, but druids should be. Are they?

[Bane]

Prolly not because they probably believe in the balance like in the Lion King

'We eat the gazelle but when we die we become the grass and are eaten by the gazelle and all is completed in the great circle of life' -Mufassa

I could sooo see a druid saying that.

[NiGHTMARE]

Some druids place more importance in plants than animals, and so they may well be carnivores . I should think the majority are omnivores though.

Not to be nitpicky (or myabe TO be nitpicky), but which "vore" you are is determinedd by your species. All humans are omnivores. Soem just choose not to eat meat.

You may now resume your normal viewing.

I fully agree with that. If Ao wanted Druids to be vegetarians he would give them a beak

[Ziggy]

Now that would be good to watch, all u need to do to shut them up is put a cover over their heads.

Are you kidding? Would you be a vegetarian if you could summon up meat on the hoof any time ya want?

So how many Druids joined their orders because they wanted to learn Call Woodland Beings?

[Ziggy]

No most of them really joined for the call woodland spirit thing that summons a woman.

[Mongoose87]

Specifically a nymph (whistles and leers)

Druids are vegetarian because they are too slow (and too weak because they eat no meat ) to catch animals, though, and äääähhhh vegetables haven't the joice to run away!

Yeah, lack of protein and protein substitutes

[Bri]

The answer is...maybe. Some may be vegetarian by choice, but officially there is no requirement for either to forego meat.

In fact, various player handbooks and such actually address this question specifically.

[Necaradan]

Ha! protein substitutes suck, who would eat soya that's shaped like a turkey for thankgiving HA!

[Danthorg]

druids eat those who defile nature

eg: goblin pie, orc omlettes, ogre cake etc...

Which would explain why Elanee in NWN 2 was so weird. She couldn't think properly any longer from lack of protein.

Yay, necroposting!

The way I see it, a real "one-with-nature" druid(ranger) should only be eating fresh fruit and vegetables, perhaps water. No bread or cheese or milk, eggs or meat, no cooked food at all. (I don't know how it's called in English; not vegans, right? Because vegans seem to eat bread). It's much more fun this way.

But D&D creators may well have a different opinion, and more power to them. We are not speaking about some universal druids, it's D&D druids, so it's okay if Jaheira tries some fried chicken once in a while, right?
