Well the party in the gameplays were level 3 tops, so I do not think they have it ready (feats are at lvl 4 minimum)

I think they didn´t show the UI for character level-up. A pity I wanted to take a peek to see what subclasses you can pick.

It makes a huge difference for my planned spellcaster builds.


Shadowheart is a cleric, and clerics(and paladins) could bear the holy symbol in his shield. And as RAW, you can use the hand where you have your holy symbol or druidic/arcane focus or bard instrument/weapon focus to make the somatic components of a spell. So she can cast spells with somatic components with weapon and shield.

That said, I do not think they are going to implement fully all the spellcasting rules: the components in the component pouch, holy symbols, etc

Warcaster is still useful for bards or to use spells as your AoO reaction.
