As a swift action, reduce the arcane spell failure chance due to the armor you are wearing by 10% for any spells you cast this round.

I know that the RAW has to say "armor/shield" for it to fully apply to shields, but shouldn't that be naturally included? As in 5% from a shield and 5% from armor - 10% should equal 0% failure chance not 5% right?

After all, the shields have Armor Check Penalty, so does that qualify them as armor?


If you wear a mithral light shield you have 0 ACP/Spellcasting Failure anyway. If that helps. I would think it would include shields... I don't know why it wouldn't.
