Spell Like Abilitiy & Arcane Spell Failure Chance


Rules Questions


If Im playing an armored rouge with Major Magic and I choose Shield, do I get a Arcane Spell Failure Chance for wearing the armor?

Thanks!

Spell-Like Abilities do not have somatic components and thus do not incur spell failure chance.


Arcane spell failure % does not apply to spell-like abilities. In fact, it's debatable if SLAs are "arcane" or "divine" in the first place...

Spell-like abilities are neither arcane nor divine. However, IIRC, there were some effects that treated creatures with spell-like abilities as arcane casters (e.g. arcane sight registers spell-like abilities as arcane).
