    \$\begingroup\$ follow up question: Could I sheath my sword, then cast a spell? Does this require a bonus action, or could I just do it during my action (my reaction spells don't require somatic cmomponents, so I don't care about that) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 2, 2020 at 15:59
  • \$\begingroup\$ Welcome to RPG.SE! Take the tour if you haven't already, and check out the help center for more guidance. We have a general guideline of 1 question per post. If you have a new question, you should ask it separately (but make sure to search to make sure it hasn't already been asked). \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 2, 2020 at 23:43

  • \$\begingroup\$ worth noting that Hold Person is VSM, and thus lets you use your spellcasting focus hand just fine. The others are, admittedly, more porblematic. On the other hand, Shadow of Moil requires an expensive component, so even Warcaster wont' help you there. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 8, 2021 at 21:57
