Arcane Armor?

[Quidam]

Anyone know of an enchantment for armor- not a material like mithril- that reduces it's arcane spell failure? If not, do you think there is a reason? What would it's + value be, if it could be computed that way?

Monte Cook's The Book of Eldritch Might II has two armor enhancements that will do what you want. Here's a summary...

Spellcasting: Reduces arcane spell failure chance by 15%, +2 market price modifier.
Superior Spellcasting: Completely removes any arcane spell failure chance, +4 market price modifier.

It's a pretty cool book. Nifty magic items, creative spells, worth checking out.

BOEMII is definitely one of my favorites (BOEMI was pretty good too).

If you don't like the BOEM solution, though:

Making the armor out of mithril reduces arcane failure by 10% (DMG).

Bastion's Arms and Armor also has a spellcasting quality - this one reduces failure by 10% (+1 bonus). There's also the weightless quality that does the same, with some other benefits (reduces armor check by 5, raises max dex by 4) for a +2 bonus.
