What happens if the pinnie can cast say Sleep just by saying it?

Tricky. RAW doesn't say he can't cast a spell that requires no gestures and doesn't give a DX penalty (because, evidently, actions weren't foreseen). On the other hand, it refers to him as "helpless".

You could allow the spell to be cast, with or without a DX penalty.

If the pinner is wearing iron or steel armor, does it give the pinned wizard a DX adjustment?
