Part of the challenge of playing a character who is missing a limb is that you need to find a way to overcome it, both in your story as well as in your mechanics.<br /><br />In a situation like that, I'd allow spellstrike only with weapons like a cestus or spiked gauntlet, where you can cast, and then strike, with the same hand. Otherwise, a feat like Still Spell would be a necessity.Neal Litherlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01307649737269196558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534782797790619934.post-76090891576919567092016-01-30T09:12:55.047-08:002016-01-30T09:12:55.047-08:00I treat my white haired witch/hexcrafter samsaran ...I treat my white haired witch/hexcrafter samsaran as having a congenitally missing left arm. Hexcrafters are an archetype of magus, which need to keep a hand free for spellcrafting for their spell combat feature.<br /><br />By flavor, I don't have an arm, but mechanically, I always have an arm free. Is that legit?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994667271273666185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534782797790619934.post-3953533470016162402015-12-20T13:05:48.266-08:002015-12-20T13:05:48.266-08:00I've always wanted to make a character who spe...I've always wanted to make a character who specialized in crafting such prosthetics, and has one of his own he tinkers with as he adventures and finds good materials to upgrade it with.Kristopher Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14710489616824599697noreply@blogger.com
