personally I believe druids are not allowed to use manufactured steel weapons, or armor, no steel plate made in a forge for them, and Scimitars are made of metal(most anyway) however something like a cold forged iron sword (instead of heating the iron to forge it into the proper shape it is beaten by the smith and so it takes much longer as the metal isn't softened by the heat) would be ok, as would Ankheg plate, as it is from a natural source, much like hide armor in ToSC, or leather armor (I personally don't think studded leather should be allowed as it is manufactured armor, and makes extensive use of metal spikes riveted to a leather backing, but the D&D rules allow it due to the natural element of leather.)
