Hi

Can you cast on the defensive while prone? I don't see any rules against it, although I could understand a house rule against it.

What would be your line of sight when prone casting? Would your line of sight be the same as if you were standing?

Thanks

You should be fine to cast defensively while Prone, because it doesn't say you aren't.

I guess the LoS would be similar, but if there were low walls around, or low obstacles that weren't interfering before, then they very well might be a problem now.

I've always allowed it in my games.
If all you need is one free hand to cast... why not?

You can cast a spell while something is trying to pull your head off, or twisting your arm behind your back, with a concentration check (grappling), so casting while lying on the floor looks simple by comparison. :P
