Spellfailure because of switching items

[Touri]

I switch items to get more spells when I rest. In the last time I sometimes got a message that I get a spellfailure because of switching items while casting.

Anyone else noticed this?

Is this a feature?

Can it please be removed.

Are you swapping items wile casting? Which spells failed?

[Valefort]

It's a feature and won't be removed as it's there to prevent an exploit. If you unequip those spell slot items at the end of your casting sequence there won't be any issue.

I didn't swap them while casting. I swap them before and after I cast. I remind having them equiped for quite some time before I rested or after I rested until I casted.

I am not sure if it is always the same spell. I will have a look again next time. But I think it is only one spell that fails per casting sequence.

I also will look if the feature works against the bugged additional spellslots you get sometimes from some spellslot items.

I think it is embrace the wild that causes the spell failure. The spell adds a skin to give the feat blindfight and that must be causing the spell failure.

It's not embrace the wild, a lot of my characters get this error too, after sleeping, then casting a spell. I am not even changing equipment or anything. log in, go through nexus... ..sleep, cast first spell... fail...

for now, I can only remember it is my cleric/favored soul/harper agent/ heirophant. She does have lots of spell slot items on. Maybe it is shield bash? (but I dont turn it on) Her shield has a spell slot on it, IIRC.

For this specific case, embrace the wild is the one causing the spell failure because it involves equipping a skin that is used to apply the spell effects.

This spell failure is a side effect from a script implemented to prevent an exploit.

There are certain cases where after rest you will have spell failure for the next few seconds.
I think it has to do with "spell-like abilities or feats" that auto apply after your character rests.

Bardic Knowledge for example will prompt spell failure for 3-6 seconds after rest (haven't timed it) as it "re-casts" itself on my bard. There were quite a few instances where I've failed a spell because I forgot to factor that in.

You simply need to learn what exactly is causing the spell failure and learn to work around it so you don't waste spells.

In my case its to wait till the spell fail icon goes away before buffing.

I have been getting this sometimes the round after I cast Summon Creature. Waiting 1 round seems to work.
