If one pf my Pc sorcerer was polymoprh into a toad (failed his fort but got his Will save).. can he still cast spells? I know that in 3.0, you needed to be able to speak and gesture? thanks for your help!

If you expect this to go on for very long (though I can't imagine why it would), you might see if the DM would allow you to take a feat similar to Natural Spell. I'd probably allow something like this as long as it only replaced verbal components, since arcane somatics tend to be complex, while druid somatics are simple gestures anyway. On the other hand, only replacing verbal seems weak for a feat, so I'd have to consider how to handle that. Possibly I'd grant some sort of modification like additionally allowing you to speak (though in a croaky frog-voice). That seems pretty balanced -- you can croak your verbal components and verbally communicate, if with some difficulty. FEAR THE MIGHT OF THE MAGE-TOAD! COWER BEFORE HIS CROAK OF DOOM!

Well, at least that wizard didn't have feeblemind cast on him/her. :)
