List of spell component costs (Note - this isn't formatted that well, and it doesn't have all components yet, but it should cover most of PHB stuff for now. If something is missing, or if you're having trouble finding something call for help)
- Spellcasting characters start with 5 doses of components for each spell they have memorized at character creation, +2 for every additional instance of the spell memorized above first. This does not apply to components costing over 10 gp.
- Spellcasting characters can select up to three other (different) spells they know - they get 5 doses of components for each of these. This does not apply to components costing over 10 gp.
- Spells above level 1, if somehow acquired at character creation don't benefit from above cost-free component doses.
- Mages get 1 component for Read Magic in addition of these.
- Clerics get wooden holy/unholy symbol in addition of these.
- If a cleric starts with Bless or Curse memorized he gets one vial of holy or unholy water (one of each if he has memorized both), regardless of number of instances of spell memorized. See PHB gear section for cost on holy/unholy water, see below for more info on holy/unholy water.
- Druids get mistletoe in addition of these.
- Each time wizard learns a new spell with component costing 10 gp or less, during level up he gets number of free doses of the component as shown in table below
