Implement usage

[Kzach]

I noticed in the Character Builder that holy symbols take up a hand slot, as in you can't equip a weapon, a shield and a holy symbol all at once.

In retrospect this seems somewhat obvious given that the wizard needs to have his implement in hand (don't go there...) to use it. But there was an assumption in the groups I've played in that a holy symbol just... well... sits around your neck and doesn't have to be 'used'.

Is there any clarification on this matter?

You don't have to hold a Holy Symbol. You can just wear it. If the character builder does not have that option, then it is incorrect.

Simple double click it to unequip it. It should still be in your inventory, so you can use it in your attack and damage spaces, but it wont show up on your power cards.

Tale is correct. See PHB p. 236.
