[QUOTE="pming, post: 6812159, member: 45197"] Hiya! No worries. I actually had one player like that a decade or so ago (no longer plays with us) who had the same sort of "leading logic" type of thinking (e.g., [I]"Well, if we agree with A and B, then, logically, we should be able to use C and D...or R and S...or X and Y...right?"[/I]). It was just his thing...we worked around it for the most part. Anyway...the description of "Holy Symbol" on page 151 of the PHB, IMHO, pretty much says "Nope. Held, worn and displayed, or on a shield" as far as being able to use it as a focus. Personally? It'd be fine with me...but it would also be pretty easy to destroy or 'wreck' it ("Oooo....sorry Jim, that 26 points of flame damage you just took from that trap put too many holes in your tabard...your Holy Symbol is ruined"). :devil: Of course, if the player is smart, he will have a back up, as well as an actual Holy Symbol necklace, [I]and[/I] have it engraved on his shield. He'll learn after the first [I]fireball[/I] I suppose... ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
