11-05-04, 07:39 PM I have looked through UA, and I have looked at the BS alternate class, and I have always liked it. The one thing I am having a problem with is that I have read many people state that the BS ignores arcane spell failure. Where are you getting this idea? Sure they can use light armor, but nowere does it say that the light armor spell faiure is negated. At least no where I have seen. Can somone help me out here? I would love this to be true, but I need a reference.

Spellcasting: A battle sorcerer can cast sorcerer spells derived from her class levels of battle sorcerer while in light armor without the normal arcane spell failure chance.
