[QUOTE="Murrdox, post: 692408, member: 10131"] I know I'm really bad about the somatic and DF and material components as well. If a wizard fired his bow last turn, if he wants to cast a spell with all 3 components, does he need to drop his bow in order to do so? I usually say "no" and lump the "setting the weapon aside for a moment" in with the various things involved in spellcasting that provoke attacks of opportunity. Reasoning? It's way annoying if you have to keep track of what kind of actions are required for casting every spell ALL of the time. If a wizard is "Silenced" or gagged, and wants to cast something, obviously we check to see if a verbal componant is needed. If he is without his spell pouch, we check to see if a material component is necessary. If his hands are bound in some way, just about everything becomes a problem. We only keep track of what components actually list GP value for their components in the PHB. As a DM, I tell spellcasters to deduct 1 GP for buying spell components when they return to town.
