arcane spell failure - bards

[Dovan]

I know there was a bit of a tweak to spell checks of sorts that the armor kicks in (believe this was in relation to Uleha's thread about a mage wearing various armors). With my bard though wearing at his worst studded armor, he is suffering from spell failures. Per using the website d20srg who claim to have their rules based on the 3.5 set, a bard should not suffer any penalty of this sort while wearing light armor.

Is their information incorrect versus the system we are employing here in FK? I know we are not 100% die hard if this rule says this we must follow it. Still I find it curious we can not work in light armors without penalty. If any log will help, I have this...

If you would like to see my equipment list, I can provide it or you can simply load me. The heaviest piece I wear is studded leather. As well speaking to two other leather wearing bards, they too experience an issue as similar as mine.

If you need names or any further log information from myself, I will gladly provide them at your request. Thank you!

According to standard DnD, bards should not have arcane spell failure penalties from wearing light armors and small shield. Currently in game this is not the case and my spells fail 20% of the time unless I remove all my equipment to cast them.

Confirmed, both rules-wise and in-game. Submitted as bug 999. Thanks for the report!

This should now be fixed! Thanks again for reporting it.
