The same thing that would happen if he tried to cast the spell without the verbal components.Egres said:What do you think would happen if a spellcaster tries to cast a spell with a material component that has not the right value?
For example, a cleric that tries to cast Resurrection with a diamond that isn't worth a total of at least 10,000 gp?
What he said. The spell doesn't get cast and nothing is lost.Infiniti2000 said:The same thing that would happen if he tried to cast the spell without the verbal components.
That's my opinion too, but some feedback is always appreciated, especially when you have some nasty rulelawyers-spellcasters among your PCs.shilsen said:What he said. The spell doesn't get cast and nothing is lost.
I don't understand. He doesn't agree with what? Are you differentiating between a spell that "fizzles" and a spell that "fails"? Because to me, those terms are interchangeable.Egres said:Ok, my PC doesn't agree.
He states that the material component could work just like the verbal component.
He says that you could cast the spell and have it fizzle, just like when you try to cast a spell with a gag.
He doesn't state that his interpretation is the right one, but a good one, just like yours.
Opinions?

Ah. I didn't realize that was what Shilsen was implying when he said the spell "doesn't get cast and nothing is lost." I thought he was referring just to the material components.Alzrius said:I think he's referring to Shilsen's answer, which is that the spell doesn't get cast, and is still prepared (or that spell slot is still viable), as opposed to the spell failing and that spell slot/prepared spell being wasted.
