I am trying to find a way to get my martial wizard (soon to be the first eldritch knight) into armor. That darn spell failure chance is killing me. I'd like to look at some options to reduce the penalty. What I was thinking was a slight addition to some of the LEW feats we already have (bolded below). Alternatively I could work up a single feat (or chain) for just this purpose, or I could propose an armor enhancement.
Armored Casting [General] - Approved.
Through focused training and practice, you are able to apadt your somatic components while casting in light armor.
Prerequisites: Armor Proficiency (Light), Light Armor Optimization, BAB +3
Benefit: When wearing light armor, decrease the arcane spell failure chance by 10%
Special: Medium armor made of mithril counts as light armor for the purpose of interacting with this feat.

Nah that is too much for good feats. Current proposal:

Light Armor Optimization [General]
Through focused training and practice, you are able to get more benefit out of light armor.
Prerequisites: Armor Proficiency (Light), BAB +1
Benefit: When wearing light armor, increase its Max Dex bonus by 1 and decrease its Armor Check penalty by 1. Decrease the arcane spell failure chance by 10%(5?). Increase the Armor bonus of the armor by 1 instead of reducing the Armor Check penalty if this reduction would reduce the penalty below 0.
Special: A fighter may select this feat as one of his bonus feats. Medium armor made of mithril counts as light armor for the purpose of interacting with this feat.
