@JeremyECrawford do you have to manipulate cost components if you have a focus?

A spellcasting focus is no help in any way when you must use costly material components. #DnD https://t.co/9t94JdE9tX

@JeremyECrawford sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant do you have to physically manipulate the materials? Or having it on your person is enough?

The rule on material components (PH, 203) says whether you need to handle a costly component (spoiler: you do) #DnD https://t.co/rxw6Mt4d6p

@Gdw771 @zasabi7 people actually play with spell components? Never played in a game that used them. Been playing 30 years. Some groups do indeed
