Warding weapon and prehensile tail.

[Aikidoka]

So the prehensile tail of a tiefling can carry items and withdraw stowed items as a swift action so long as they are small.

Warding weapon has the following components: V, S, F (one melee weapon you are proficient in and you are holding)

Can I cast warding weapon on a dagger or wushu dart that I hold in my tail or is holding something that must be in one's hand?

Can of worms. Ask your GM as there isn't a solid consensus and you will see table variance on this issue.

Holding (for a weapon) often means ready to attack with. So if you can ATTACK with that weapon then I would allow it. Grasping Tail specifies you can not WIELD a weapon so I do not think this would work.

For example a Kobold with the tail terror feat and a tail attachment (which is a weapon) could defintely use it.

For a tiefling to do such even though he has a tail, to do it by RAW would need kobold heritage and a tail attachment.

Holding and wielding are two very different things. The spell doesn't say wielding, a kobold is wielding that weapon as well as holding. I need a free hand for somatic components and would like to try and cast this spell as part of a full round spell combat action. However I don't want to drop my sword.

I will ask my GM and go by their call.
