I think I remember there being a way to increase armor and decrease the spell failure on it, but I'm not sure anymore because I cannot find it. Does anybody know a way that this can be reduced? I'm trying to make a warforged wizard and I just don't want the 5% spell failure around all the time. Thanks.

So what about getting your composite plating made +1 (so it can take special effects) and Twilight (armor enhancement from PHBII, price +1 bonus, reduces ASF by 10%)?

Though I found Twilight and its in Book of Exalted Deeds.

Apr 06, 2008 19:41:29 BoED is a 3.0 source, PHBII is a 3.5 source. If the same ability appears in two different sources, the newer one overrules the older one. You should check for differences between the two printings, something important may have changed.

Apr 06, 2008 19:49:35 Dude... I can't find it in PHBII, nor the DMGII or any of my other books.

You sure you're thinking of the right book?

Apr 06, 2008 20:08:20 Oh. You're right. Sorry about that. It is a weird place for it. Thanks for the advice though!

BoED is 3.5. BoVD is 3.0.

Note to self: recall and kill spies, get better spies to keep an eye on Team Good.
