Daeran Spell failure chance?!

[Uziel]

As the title suggests, I sometimes get Daeran failing a spell and the log tells me he has a 20% spell failure chance. Problem is, the character says his spell failure chance is null/-. This made sense to me because I thought Oracles are like Paladins who do not suffer a spell failure chance no matter what armor they're wearing. He is wearing medium armor, which, incidentally, should grant a 30% spell failure chance, not 20. He does not have any arcane armor training or anything like that.

Furthermore, he doesn't actually fail a spell anywhere near close to 20% of the time. Its just very occasionally. I assume its a glitch, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what's causing it or how to get around it. Maybe giving him something lighter than medium armor?

Sounds like you may wish to remove the armor.

He's an Oracle. Divine spells don't suffer from arcane spell failure chance, they can wear any armor they're proficient with and still cast oracle spells no problem.

The OP is likely experiencing the effects of demonic corruption which rises over time until you rest in a purified location (your base, basically).

Divine spellcasting isn't interfered with by armour. He's not deafened by any chance is he? 20% is the failure chance for spellcasting while deaf. Alternatively, corruption?

Woops, you're right, that's what I get for multitasking.

Absolutely not. I've never had corruption affect my party, and he certainly is not suffering from any status condition like deafness. This has actually been happening almost since the beginning of the game. I'd notice it every once in a while that he'd just fail to cast a spell. I always assumed I was doing something wrong, but now that I'm lvl 15 and I understand the game better, I realized that there doesn't appear to be anything that should be causing this.
