Hammers and Druids

I checked out the weapons available to Druids, and it looks like the hammer is unavailable to Druids. Can anyone confirm this? I don't see why a druid should not be able to use the war hammer. Hopefully someone has tried this. I would like to give Jaheira the Crom Faeyr.

Thanks in advance.

generally druids choose to use only wooden weapons. Don't ask me why they can use scimitars though

Spears and daggers as well. They aren't beastmasters

Well that's pretty unrealistic. I'll have to check the official AD&d rules on that....... I always thought druids could pretty much use any and all cleric type weapons. I just realized since she is a multiclass would that not allow her to specialize in the hammer or even a mace???

Thanks

Simply because, like one said, it cannot be of metal but from nature...
Simitars are avaible because of desert druids.
Daggers are because its a useful tool (yes a tool) in nature (skin pelts,etc...)...

Knives are useful tools. Daggers are small easy to conceal weapons. If you tried to skin a deer with a dagger you would cut yourself. A knife has one edge and thats all you need unless you want to kill.
