[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 2765493, member: 3649"] The Bard summons magic in whatever way you want the Bard to summon magic, but mechanically it means nothing; he still 'casts the same way as Wizard' (or any other spell casting class) in that he obeys all the same rules they do unless there is a specific instruction not to (for instance, all Bard spells have a verbal component, even if the spell says differently). His way of casting isn't different from a Wizard's just because he can wear Light Armor. A Wizard [I]can [/I] wear Light Armor, or Heavy Armor, or whatever armor he wants - he has to buy the specific feats to do so, and the arcane spell failure means he'll suck as a spellcaster while doing it, but he [I]can [/I] wear it. He can evern wear it if he has no feat, he just sucks even [I]worse[/I]. There are a few feats in other books that reduce this, and some special armor qualities can reduce it a bit further. Light Armor isn't useless. There are a number of things that only work if you're wearing Light armor or less (like some Ranger special abilities). [/QUOTE]
