![]() ![]() ![]() DM allows you, as you suggest, to take hold the weapon as the last thing to do for casting, and then you can use your free interaction to unsheathe it, and it works for a dual-wielder since it means each hand can take care of its "own" Shillelagh casting (well, you would also add the houserule that you can have 2 instances of Shillelagh at the same time).īut seems the wording of Shillelagh really goes against this interpretation so it would be a houserule imo. In case you are holding a quarterstaff and it is a Druid focus (not sure if it exists, not familiar with available focus for casters), per official ruling, the focus takes care of material components and the hand holding the focus can take care of somatic IIRC, so you could cast Shillelagh while wielding focus quarterstaff and shield.ģ. If first was allowed, then it means you could have your club attached to your belt, having your arm wielding shield just "lying" on its top while your other hand (the one that usually wields the club) takes care of the somatic and material components.Ģ. "Holding your weapon" may be understood as just "holding a part of your weapon" instead of "wielding your weapon" in the D&d 5e meaning. (QS and shield would because the QS is the focus too.) edit: so far I've never questioned a club and shield Druid casting shillelagh, so I'd probably not enforce that for this potential dual-wield Druid if he wanted to burn 2 bonus actions, even if I thought it was RAW.Hmmm. Or would you rule that picking up the weapon with your hand is the last step of the casting? Otherwise a club & shield Druid wouldn't be able to shillelagh his only weapon. All things considered, there are a lot better things a druid could be doing in a fight that don't involve running up to smack something in melee instead of carrying a shield.Īlso looking at the M components, it looks like he wouldn't be able to shillelagh two clubs, since he couldn't have a free hand for the components (or focus or component pouch) while still holding onto the first (to maintain the spell) and the second (to cast it on). While I'm on the topic, by the same logic, a quarterstaff shillelagh should be usable with the Polearm master feat? I don't use feats, just theoretical question for this one.He could do it w/ warcaster but not being able to add the stat bonus to damage on the offhand will hurt it.

Since the club has the light property, and as far as I can see the the Shillelagh cantrip doesn't change this, that's RAW, correct?Īlso looking at the M components, it looks like he wouldn't be able to shillelagh two clubs, since he couldn't have a free hand for the components (or focus or component pouch) while still holding onto the first (to maintain the spell) and the second (to cast it on). I have a Druid that wants to dual wield his shillelagh club and a scimitar. ![]()
