Hi all,
I am new to Pathfinder, although I have been playing RPGs since the mid 70s.
I have some questions about psychic spellcasting, particularly with the mesmerist. The books say things like you can cast psychic spells even while chained up, etc.
(1) Can you cast a psychic spell with a weapon in your main hand? i.e., you are not using the weapon this round. This round, you are only casting the spell. One would think that if you can cast a psychic spell while bound with ropes, you could do this, but I thought I would ask.
(2) Can you cast a psychic touch spell with a weapon in your main hand? That is, can you cast the spell, and then touch the other guy with your off hand to cast it? Note that you are not attacking with your main hand this round; you simply have your weapon drawn. If you can, are there any penalties to the touch attack?
Thanks!
Edit: Yes, I realize Magus would help with this. I am talking about non-Magus characters...
1) Yep, since no psychic spell has somatic components.
2) I'm pretty sure you can do that with any casting. Since there is no "main hand" until you use it. So, the hand your using to touch with would be your main hand.
