[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 1429938, member: 114"] IMC we call it "armour proficiency" :) Based on the observation that clerics have all armour proficiency and can cast in all armour, bards have light armour proficiency and can cast in light armour, wizards/sorcerers have no armour proficiency and have arcane failure chance in all armour. So we rule that if you have proficiency in armour, you can ignore the arcane failure chance. A wizard might decide to use a feat to pick up light armour prof and cast away in a chain shirt. He equally might decide to take a level of fighter and then clank around casting in full plate. Naturally I know that there are reasons (IMO artificial) why divine casters don't get penalties while arcane casters do, but this seemed to be a neat solution to the problem, and it has worked very well for us so far.
