I was wondering if there is a type of armor on the server that doesnt resrict spell casting...I play a Fighter/mage...I have a 50% chance of the spell fizzling...Any suggestions?

I'd recommend the feat Still spell.
You'd be memorizing your spells as if they were one level higher, but you wouldn't have to worry about your armor.

yeah. still spell is probably the way to go. note also that you can't use any other meta magic on it. but having full plate and casting spells is a nice "drawback".

Mithril will only lower the arcane failure by 10%.
Below are the fail rates for mithril armor:
Chain shirt Light 10%
Scale mail Light 15%
Chainmail Light 20%
Breastplate Light 15%
Splint mail Medium 30%
Banded mail Medium 25%
Half-plate Medium 30%
Full plate Medium 25%

You could power-build and take a level of bard along with the battlecaster feat. It may not work for wizard type spells though.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to run before a dm smites me for giving out dangerous information.

No armor for the most part in spite of the armored caster feat. |

GOOD!
The first edition bard class was an epic class btw...
-7 Levels of Fighter
-4 levels thief
-3 levels druid
-Bard School
-Most stats had to be 15 or higher, rolled with 3 dice, not 4 and not dropping the lowest number...
*shakes his head* Thank you DnD players who changed that crap on 2nd edition.
-Ice

Well for us chaotic types the spell failure chance for using armor adds that little bit to the excitement of spell casting, although it does kind of bite when you lose all of your fireballs to spell failure one after the other.  *sighs* Troll hunting has it's challenges I will admit. |
