Holy symbols are considered a symbol of belief throughout the world, and are usually a representation of a god's symbol. They tend to be worn as a pendant around the neck, and many wear them proudly as part of their identity. However, those with a reason to hide their deity may bear their symbol in a more secretive way, for example as a tattoo, a relic, or an anklet. Holy symbols may be rendered from different materials, the poorest of clay or wood, and the richest of gold enlayed with diamonds.
Magic users who receive their powers from divine sources - like Clerics and Paladins - usually require a holy symbol in order to cast spells.
