Arcane spell failure

[Talok]

I have the 20% arcane spell reduction feat. I am wearing 20% of arcane spell failure worth of armor. I failed an arcane spell failure check. Another bug or am I missing something?

a "I'm doing everything possible to make casting harder, why is my casting failing?!" thread?

I think it's a bug. I cast Haste a lot and there are times when the spell is used up but Haste doesn't go off. This is with me not wearing armor as I'm using +4 Bracers.

Yeah, there is a ton of janky stuff going on in turn based combat mode at this time. I am hoping they clean it up soon.

Okay, this is a cautionary post (also I had a choice of making my own topic on this, or bumping a 2 year old necro-post, but others seem to be doing that a lot lately so I will choose to do this too)

Looking at this topic after encountering something very similar actually, identical, right down to the 20% spell failure coming out of no where;

Read your spells very carefully. After about 1 hour of looking things up and refusing to think its a bug after all this time, I went over every single one of my buffs. There is a cheeky spell called blink. If you don't actually expand it to read its full description, you miss some "fine print" stuff on the bottom of it. It's a really amazing buff, but...it gives you a 20% miss chance on all spells and attacks as well as granting you the same bonus of being missed by everyone else.

I highly suspect the original topic maker and everyone else that has this bug probably didn't notice that stipulation to what is otherwise a really incredible buff.

It wasn't a bug nor out of nowhere. It was cleared up in the thread that they still had 5% failure from the shield which was not included in the ARMOR training, since it's a shield, not armor.
