>Yulya has no holy symbol on her shield? She's wearing it as an amulet on her clothes.
thats correct
theres still a lot we dont understand:

-if shield is not donned and on pack it protects from attacks from behind? how much? half cover?

-how much AP does medium shield grant now if donned? +2 or +4?

-how much max protection if you hide behind it?

-i thought we agreed that donning does use an action if you gotta pick your shield up?
i think thats reasonable in a situation where its clear you dont use your shield like sleeping or driving a carriage.

-Yulya has no holy symbol on her shield -yet. she came out of the box with an amulet on her clothes. this means she can cast even without shield as long as shes not naked. but with shield she only has one hand free. if she uses the staff she has no hand free for somatic gestures. sacred flame needs somatic gestures so now what? actually she wouldnt be able to use shield and goblin staff together unless she can perform somatic gestures with the staff. which is cheesy

even holy symbol on shield would not solve this as you can only make somatic gestures with the hand that is holding the spell focus if the spell also has a material component. sacred flame does not so Yulya always needs a free hand to cast it.
