Spell failure reducing magic?

[Azazyll]

I've looked through all the PF core books and perhaps I've just missed it, but is there a magic armor enhancement that reduces spell failure? I'd rather not have only special materials as an option. Also, are there spells that do this? I remember one or two old 3.X era options, but can't seem to find any for PF

[Azazyll]

Wow, triple posted by accident. Go me.

I'm not aware of an armor enchantment to reduce ASF. You're clearly aware of mithral already, and of course there are the Arcane Armor Training/Mastery feats.

Also, note that spells which have no somatic components don't suffer from ASF. It's a short(ish) list, but there are some goodies there.

Celestial armor has a reduced ASF by default. It can't be made of special materials, though.

Sorry for the threadcromancy but I've got the same question and was hoping newer books might have something. I know the psionic ability fusion can do it, but is there anything else? Character is mythic tier 3 if that helps.

[Kalindlara]

There's nothing from newer books that I know of that directly reduces ASF. That said, depending on which mythic path you're on (or by using Dual Path if necessary), there are various mythic path abilities that will let you remove the somatic component of your spells. ^_^

if you play a psycic caster you eliminate simatic and verbal components aswell

Yeah, there really doesn't appear to be an equivalent of the twilight enchantment from 3.5's Magic Item Compendium. There's a feat that allows you to drop some of the ASF for shields, but that's it.

theres some for armor 10% reduction and 25% reduction but it eats your swift action

[Ashram]

Pretty sure they know about Arcane Armor Training and Improved Arcane Armor Training.

[Gisher]

Arcane Armor Training does reduce the armor ASF by 10%, but Arcane Armor Mastery reduces the armor ASF by 20%. I don't know what reduces it by 25%.

if it is 20% i was miss remembering the value of the ASF reduction as they are generally bad feats as they take up a swift action

[Marius Castille]

Hell Knight Enforcer prestige class has class features that further reduce ASF if you have arcane armor training.

The character in question might be retraining her magus lvls for kensai, and has already invested a good deal of gold/effort into her armour. Hence the question. She's also quite starved for swift actions and feats so the arcane armour feats are a no go.

I have a breakdown on Celestial armor here and here.
Celestial Armor has a mundane component that works out to be standard chainmail, not mithril. Celestial plate has no mundane component. Celestial shield has a heavy steel shield. This was arrived by determining the portion of the price counted as magic, then subtracting it from the total price. The result was 300, 0, and 170 respectively. MW chain is 300, MW heavy steel shield is 170.

I also believe that Celestial is a +1 & flat cost, not a flat cost, as it comes mighty close to being what +1 would be.

With these breakdowns, you can add special material easily.
