So the False Focus feat can only be taken by arcane casters, but it lets them ignore up to 100g of material components by faking a divine focus.
Is there anything similar for clerics/oracles/paladins/etc? Like, they ACTUALLY have one... why can't they ignore material components too?
They already sort of do this.
There are a number of spells that require material components, or a Divine Focus.
Divine casters use the focus.
Yes, but I mean spells that are just V, S, M. Period. Is there no way for a divine caster to get the +100gp value of their holy symbol like an arcane caster can?
i would like to know this as well, i have an oracle trying to do something with storm of blades
personally i'm content with light armor, and ignoring the arcane spells aspect, i just want to shoot swords more effectively, being able to ignore the cost of the swords i shoot would be a nice costless and weightless benefit
Dip an arcane class?
that's my thought, the feat calls out specifically any spell using arcane as only examples and in flavoring . so it should work by rules but in intent i think it hinted to be for arcanes
Intent does seem clear if you look at the last part of the feat though.
Normal: A divine focus has no effect when used as a component in arcane spells.
So you should probably as your GM before trying it. :/
Intent or poorly worded normal line? Toss it in the pile of poorly worded feats that'll most likely never see an FAQ.
As to the normal line, a divine focus often DOES have an effect on divine spells so the normal line would be correct with or without the feat working for divine spells.
