Do caster out of combat options matter?

At first I read that as over-encumbered and with no hands, and I thought I'd probably give disadvantage on that.

Lol.

Though that's a good example of letting the players push their own luck. Either drop something or risk the roll. Throwing DCs at players is both boring and is why there is a play culture focused on either avoid the roll or pushing the math off the die.
