03-30-07, 04:15 PM My question is fairly simple. If a spellcaster casts a spell with the still spell feat then he no longer has to make arcane gestures so does that mean the spell failure chance is ignored or is their something about heavier armor that somehow disrupts arcane casting?:confused:

03-30-07, 04:20 PM Still spell, effectively, negates ASF. That's what it's there for.

03-30-07, 04:22 PM Yep you got it Still spell means Armor for mages with all the restrictions of nonproficancy IE you get the Armor Check penalty to every skill you use and movment reduction.
