A somatic component is a measured and precise movement of the hand. You must have at least one hand free to provide a somatic component.You only need one hand free to cast a spell. Your Drow should be fine.

03-08-07, 12:31 AM Start casting Heat Metal on your hand and start making touch attacks or get it permanently cast so that you can turn it off and on. Getting a jewel embedded in it that let you cast Shocking Grasp would be pretty cool fluff wise too.

B) Magical prosthetic limbs generally use the wearer's own Str and Dex scores.

C) Any lost body part can be restored with a Regenerate spell. An NPC cleric will generally charge only 1,000g to cast said spell.

D) You may feel free to ignore point C because prosthetic adamantine limbs are so damned cool.

Sorry to nitpick, but isn't that just 910 gp? :P
