Weapons Allowed :
Shamani cannot use weapon's made of metal, this include metal swords, arrows with metal arrowhead, etc. Apart from that they can use any weapon.

When starting a new character, the shamani is restricted to weapons from the plateau as other weapons are not readily available to him.
