Component Type: Supplementary spell components are verbal,

material, or somantic. While some feats, such as Still Spell, may allow

spells to be cast without using the necessary components these feats

do not affect spells cast when using supplementary spell components.

Knowledge (Religion) DC: Not all spellcasters know of thesecrets of each supplementary spell component. This DC is the num-

ber that must be surpassed (or equaled) for a caster to know the

specifics of this supplementary component. Using this knowledge in

game can be difficult and DMs should encourage roleplaying.

Weight: The weight of the component.

Value: What the component is worth in an appropriate shop. DMs

should not make these components readily available but should,

instead, force PC spellcasters to personally locate and claim the indi-vidual components. The search for almost any of these components

could be used as the backdrop for an adventure.

101 D ivi ne Spell Components

DIVINE.ARCANE.WHOCARES?The DM may rule that the components in this PDF and those in

101 Arcane Spell Components may be used by any spellcaster,regardless of whether he is a divine or arcane spellcaster. This is cer-

tainly a simple way to approach the situation and will greatly expand

the components available to both types of spellcasters.

Would doing this break anything? Not really. But it would

detract from the flavor of some of the spell components. A better

way to approach the situation is for the DM to write different effects

for each component depending on whether the caster is divine or

arcane. Several items already have two options that could be used asa guideline for such a project. This would be a massive task and

should not be attempted by DMs who are pressed for time.
