[QUOTE="jadrax, post: 6349745, member: 7175"] Thinking about it further, I am not sure my conclusions are valid. You need to be *using* a Quarterstaff to use it as a Spell focus, you would not need to be using a Great Sword. Also the Alpha had a feat that among other things granted 'Holding weapons or a shield in each hand doesn’t prevent you from performing the somatic components of spells.' There is nothing about Two Handed weapons in there, just duel welding and shields. That leads me to believe that holding a two-handed weapon is not actually an impediment to casting that needs to be removed. But yeah, you going to want to talk to your GM before creating the character on this. [/QUOTE]
