Does it make sense for Druids to kill Gnomes?

[Wakanda]

When I was a little kid I would get upset because I would see Druids frequently camping the Gnome guards in Steamfont around the clock, and I couldn't understand it. Druids are supposed to be the good guys, and gnomes are good people ! So why are they killing each other?

But then when I got older it made more sense. Gnomes represent Technology, and Drudis represent Nature. Would the two not be natural enemies?

Totally agree, the mechanical constructs a a sick parody of natural life. 100% plenty of fanatical druids would see things this way. Especially with all the harm strip mining, heavy metal contamination, etc can do to the environment.

[Ekco]

yeah, those druids are playing correctly.


the cliché way to play a Druid in DnD was as an eco-terrorist who is willing to commit slaughter and genocide in order to protect nature, officially they could only be true neutral alignment, but it was in the zeitgeist so much that in Baldur's Gate 1 there is a faction of evil druids

Shadow Druids are a druidic cult which believes that nature should drive out civilization with violence. They are active along the Sword Coast with bases of operations in the Cloakwood Forest and the Druid Grove.

It makes sense narratively—Druids valuing nature might see Gnome technology as a threat, creating a natural conflict.

Sometimes when I'm feeling rebellious I go into surefall glade and kill the bears on purpose

If you were on Prexus server around mid 2000 that would have been me. Watchman Drexlin i think was his name.
Stinkin' Gnomes.

Drexlin(?) i was a cleric passing through steamfont and noticed him low health. Took like a million light heals to get him up and of course he immediately drained himself again. I kept healing so he have me a bunch of swords to sell. I always heal and/or buff everyone i see. It's always paid off somehow some way.

Gnomish guards are guaranteed to drop a sword that vendors for platinums, I believe.

It used to be a harder game when we were blessedly ignorant.

[Swish]

If you're a guard killer and particularly if you're evil... offer to let a noob loot a sword if the pledge allegiance to the deity you follow. You'll be surprised at a few that wanted it but refuse to :p
