Spell failure chance?
I'm playing a feyspeaker druid and I seem to be suffering a spell failure chance when wearing armor or using a shield.

By pen-and-paper rules this shouldn't be the case (druid spells are divine and spell failure only applies to arcane spells) but the pen-and-paper feyspeaker features are also slightly different in other ways.

Does feyspeaker in this game make the druid spells arcane spells?
Or do divine spells also suffer spell failure?
Or is this just a bug?

From what I can see, the Feyspeaker should still be a Divine Spellcaster...

Druids suffer penalties wearing metal armor in the lore. They can still wear leather or hide armor, but not studded leather or mail. Only Clerics are armored casters without penalty.

Problem seems to have gone away. Most likely the bug you mentioned, thanks!

Is this said somewhere in the game? I'm so sick of this game and its lack of providing information.

Actually in the lore they are completely prohibited from wearing any metal armor. They suffer no penalties, it's just not allowed. I don't recall if they had mechanical penalties at all.

They did:

"A druid who wears prohibited armor or uses a prohibited shield is unable to cast druid spells or use any of her supernatural or spell-like class abilities while doing so and for 24 hours thereafter."
