sorry about my spelling

If you're trying to cast a spell that has verbal components and you can't speak (and don't have Silent Spell), you can't cast the spell.

Similarly, if you're trying to cast a spell that has somatic components and you can't move (and don't have Still Spell), you can't cast the spell.

i thit that you can do it with a high roll or something.


No.

To cast a spell, you must be able to speak (if the spell has a verbal component), gesture (if it has a somatic component), and manipulate the material components or focus (if any). Additionally, you must concentrate to cast a spell.

You can overcome certain distractions, such as taking damage in combat, and still cast on a high roll. But no roll will overcome being incapacitated, as Oladon has shown.

Nope, you can't.

Be grateful that you can't, otherwise no-one would be silly enough to leave your spellcaster tied up.
