[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 3115763, member: 111"] True enough. Of course, this could have been a simple oversight since a spell component pouch is allowed. If WotC gives us a good, definitive answer to may questions then maybe we'll know for sure. Anyway... You most certainly can own and use a quarterstaff (walking stick). The rules are not really clear on whether a divine foci can ONLY be a [b][i]purchased[/i][/b][i][/i] holy symbol for a cleric. If the Divine Foci could be carved into a quarterstaff, then it would not be a possession in and of itself, thus would not need to be listed in VoP as allowed. It all comes down to what forms are Divine Foci allowed to take. We know for sure: "The divine focus for a cleric or a paladin is a holy symbol appropriate to the character’s faith." We also know it is possible to purchase a holy symbol. What we do [b][i]not[/i][/b][i][/i] know is what form holy symbols must take and whether they can be part of something else. BTW: I guess there is no argument that a cleric who uses a quarterstaff as a holy symbol / divine foci could use the VoP just fine. Is that agreed, at least? [/QUOTE]
