I like the idea of not being able to wildshape in it. Land druids are probably wildshaping outside of combat anyway so would put a neat incentive for them to doff and don armor given the situation.

It would make more sense to me if metal was in some way taboo, but I don't think anyone really suggests they can't use belt buckles, wear metal necklaces or rings, use metal weapons or cutlery etc...

As to the snowflake exception to rule argument I refer to every Drizzt clone drow player ever.
