Bard Arcane Spell Failure Issue

Unread post by rukkerz »

My Bard (Rourkk) has a 25-50% Arcane Spell Failure with no armor equiped. I've done several searches through google and the forums trying to find an answer to this. When I equip my Chain shirt I have a 70% chance on the Character Sheet. When I cast a Spell it then says I make a check against 50% when I fail. I have no shield equiped. I am wearing Light armor. Please Help. (If the Solution is doing an RCR; how do I avoid this in the future?)

Thank You

did you use a scroll of stone body or iron body?

do you have any items equipped with the property: "Arcane Spell Failure + 50%"?

I would be checking all of my equipment as well to see if I picked up something cursed with ASF. I've never heard or seen of a character being bugged with ASF before.

Persists through rest, persists through log out log in, persists from both while i'm completely unequipped.

I'm not carrying any cursed items.

You might need a DM or Admin to assist you then.

I'll do an RCR and repair the problem, I hope it doesn't happen after I hit level 10.

Oh my god, I'm so sorry for wasting everybody's time. It was a cursed book in my inventory.
