[QUOTE="D.Shaffer, post: 3228913, member: 8918"] Battle Caster (Complete Adv, P75), let's someone with the ability to cast in armor without arcane spell failure, to cast in a heavier set of armor without penalty. (Note, they still have armor proficiency issues if they dont have the relevant feat). So for example, a Bard, who can cast in light armor without worrying about his spells fizzling out, can now do the same in medium armor. It's already a lot more efficient than the feat you proposed in many cases. I think a slightly better way to get what you want is to let a character without an inherent 'Ignore spell failure chance' ability to gain the ability in light armor using the above feat. I think it'd be balanced as they'd still take a decent hit on many things without also adding Light Armor proficiency. Another thing to look at is the alternate fighter class ability in Complete Mage. As an alternate 1st level feature, they give up medium and heavy proficiency to get the ability to cast in light armor without spell failure. [/QUOTE]
