[QUOTE="TallIan, post: 7079817, member: 6853819"] Most of your questions are up to the GM really, but I'll try to answer some Yes, you can assume the somatic component incorporates using or moving the components or focus. If you are holding a weapon, it's possible to just let go with one hand, freeing up one hand to cast with. Your suggestion is also possible, since you get a free item interaction each round, but would only be necessary if you are carrying a shield that isn't also your focus. Strictly up to the GM, but usually yes, otherwise its an unfair advantage to a cleric. You could potentially have your bow, or any weapon, as a focus (again with GM permission), just describe it as having a jewel or similar and increasing its value (My wizards usually have a runed or carved quarterstaff as a focus). A ranged weapon focus could limit your melee ability since there is a disadvantage to both casting and shooting in melee. But something like shield doesn't need a material component so there is no need for a focus. Finally as to your choice of scholar's vs explorer's pack (from your previous post), since we're supposed to know each other, go with what makes sense, I'm sure someone will help out if the need for rations or rope comes up. I hope that helped a bit [/QUOTE]
