Ankheg Armour: a thought...

Ankheg Armour should surely be usable by single-class Druids in BG2. I
believe it *was* so usable in BG1 - I'm sure I remember Faldorn using
it.

After all, it's a "natural" material, as natural as the leather that
druids are allowed to use...

They should also be able to wear any of the dragon hide armors as well.

So what's "unnatural" about iron? Its in the Earth and requires Fire and
Water to make into steel.

Surely it must be because iron for a long time formed the material
basis of civilization?

What's the rationale given for why mages can't wear armor - it
interferes with their thought processes, or something like that, right?
Jaheira is grumpy because she's most often encased in something that
hasn't died.

Interferes with the necessary gestures for spellcasting.

Besides, if iron interfered with their thought processes it would not
make much sense that single-classed wizards can use items such as the
bracers of defense, or for dual/multi-classed wizards, a helmet and a
shield.
