    Default [3.5] Arcane Spell Failure

    Okay, so this gets asked a lot, but what are the ways to reduce Arcane Spell Failure chance? I know of:

    - Mithril [DMG. Varies]: 10% reduction
    - Twilight [PHB II + MiC. +1 Bonus]: 10% reduction
    - Feycraft/Githcraft [DMGII. 500gp/600gp, respectively]: 5% reduction
    - Thistledown [RoW. 250gp]: 5% reduction
    - Caster Armor [Dragon Magazine #358. 400gp Light/800gp Medium/1,000gp Heavy]: 5% reduction

    Any others?

    Play a Cleric or other divine caster.

    Or be an arcane caster that can use light armor (like a Bard), and use mithral or other material to drop medium armors 1 weight category.

    Use Still Spell.

    Select spells without somatic components.

    Spellsword reduces it at several levels (first level is ignore up to 10%), which can be nice.

    Glassteel reduces ACF by 10%.

    All that I say applies only to myself. You author your own actions and choices. I cannot and will not be responsible for you, nor are you for me, regardless of situation or circumstance.

    Complete Warrior has the Spellsword PrC which reduces it by 30% over the life of the class. But you lose up to 5 levels of spellcasting so it is rarely worth it.

    Pathfinder has Arcane Armor Training and Arcane Armor Mastery which reduce it by 10% each.
