Psychic Bloodline Sorcerer and Arcane Spell Failures

[T.A.U.]

I searched if someone else asked it before, but didn't find a proper answer.

Since the Bloodline Arcana of the Psychic Bloodline states:

Quote:

Your sorcerer spells and spell-like abilities count as psychic instead of arcane. You use thought and emotion components instead of verbal and somatic components when casting your spells.

Does it means that a psychic sorcerer can ignore the Arcane Spell Failures from his armors and shields?

[Brew Bird]

Yes, since arcane spell failure only applies to arcane spells that have somatic components.

[Hubaris]

Yup.

Keep in mind that Psychic Casting has some quirks of its own (mainly with Concentration DCs and emotion effects).

Thanks to both of you!

This is for an NPC I'm currently building, and having a heavy armored guy who is not a fighter but a psychic sorcerer, although not super-optimized, will surely be fun!
