In reply to Vry (msg # 196):
You may be right about this one. Honestly, they say pinned is a more severe form of grappling but they seemed more or elss the same to me (excluding dex penalty). If only pinned prevented any spells from being cast with Somatic or Material components, that would make a lot more sense to me as being more severe. Ultimately, I think I agree with you here.
But one more argument to go!
Eschew Materials -
quote:
Benefit: You can cast any spell with a material component costing 1 gp or less without needing that component. The casting of the spell still provokes attacks of opportunity as normal. If the spell requires a material component that costs more than 1 gp, you must have the material component on hand to cast the spell, as normal.

Components V, S, M (ruby dust worth 250 gp)
I think you would actually have to have the material component for this one?
