If I may.. the Druids are allowed to use scimitars becuase according to "Druid Law" they are allowed to weild the sickle, a sacred weapon/ farm implement. However, rather than introduce the sickle as a weapon to BG, our friends at Bioware shifted that sacred weapon to the scimitar instead, also allowing more tie in with other classes/ interests. If they had stuck to the sickle, then you would have had an entire class of weapons that was totally class dependent and only available/ useful to one class... I think
