@JeremyECrawford PH states somatic component hand & material component hand can be same. Does that still apply if focus is used f material?

You can have a spellcasting focus in the hand you use for a somatic component. See the PH errata: https://t.co/vzc7twThef #DnD https://t.co/VdEKr8QQVk

@JeremyECrawford What if your a cleric and your shield and holy symbol are the same thing and you have a mace in your other hand?

A holy symbol can function as a spellcasting focus even when it's on a shield. See "Holy Symbol" (PH, 151). #DnD https://t.co/v8QrGZyCOM

@JeremyECrawford so a cleric would not would not need a free hand to cast spells as long as the shield is the holy symbol?

Using a holy symbol on your shield? See the Sage Advice Compendium (search for "holy symbol") for info: https://t.co/dh02JRnEH8 #DnD https://t.co/wv65ofp79z
