[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9214872, member: 7030563"] First off, some spells don't even have Somatic compoonents and second it would seem to me if your hands or free this should not even be a hinderence. It depends on the spell. Most AOE spells require you to see the area you cast, not all and it is more common among blast spells like fireball, but a lot of those require to see the location you center it at too. Almost all spells that target a creature with a range longer than touch require either an attack roll (that you would make with disadvantage) or they require you to "see" that creature in the spell description, and blinded makes it so you "can't see". The only offensive spells I can think of offhand that don't do this are Dissonant Whispers and Ray of Sickness (and you would get disadvantage on the attack roll using Ray of Sickness). Your DM might be lenient about that, letting you for example hold person someone based on an ally using an action to describe where, but that would not be RAW if you were blinded. [/QUOTE]
