[QUOTE="Warbringer, post: 3191837, member: 14391"] A spellcaster than cast cast without penalty in armor is too powerful (ala, oh cleric). Serioulsy, we do this in our game, granted True20/D+D blend. A wizard can wear armor, but is a penalty to the spellcraft check. Can take feats to reduce penalty, but as you have to burn feats to gain "spell power" casters tend to stay away from from those feats. Point is, the system can be built easily to allow the choice to naturally evolve. As to prestige classes, etc. Any feats that allow you to navigate spell failure are just add ons, not part of the system Do you think at some point the archmage would have approached the lowly bard and said something along the lines... "So, this whole armor thing. How do you it? Eh. Me, cast a spell, no idea whether it'll work or not. Never a good idea when gating in a demon, or such and such. Come to think of it, in all my "20" levels, that random chance have never seemed to change much. But enough of me, let's talk about you and your lovely armor." [/QUOTE]
