Holy Vindicator

[Isawaphoenix]

Good Morning, long time listener, first time caller.
I have a question about Holy Vindicator. (*among others but I figure I will throw out an easy one first and then send out the hard ones.

The language used for describing the Vindicator's shield ability is VERY imprecise.
1 Does using the ability cost a use of channel energy for the day?
2 Do I retain my sacred bonus to AC even if I am not wielding the shield?

I think I know the answer but my rules lawyer buddy is raking us over the coals with the specific (or non-specific) language used to describe the effects.

Thanks!!

1. I would say yes, though poorly worded. It does say you channel energy, so one would assume it uses a channel energy per day

2. It says that you don't have to be holding it to have the bonus, but you have to wear it. So I guess technically it just has to be on your person to get the bonus.

You don't have to be using it for the bonus to be in effect, but I'm fairly sure you have to use it to get the bonus. This at least makes sense.
