- (Lesser/Greater) Arcane Casting Dexterity does not stack with any tiers of itself. (Credit to Oberon131313)
- Not all arcane spells have ASF, because not all spells have somatic components. Off the top of my head: blur, teleport, knock, dimension door, etc. (Credit to Therrias)Notes from http://ddowiki.com/page/Arcane_spell_failure
Both Mithral & Twilight armor and shields reduce the Arcane Spell Failure chance by 10%. These effects stack and in some cases completely negate the Arcane Spell Failure of a given item. Darkleaf armors have a slightly lower Arcane Spell Failure chances (5% less), but this material is used for rather heavy armors (Breastplate and Bandedmail.) and cannot completely negate ASF alone.
Warchanter II receives 0% spell failure in medium armor as an extension of the Bardic abilities in light armor and bypasses the check entirely where other types of Bards still receive a check in some circ*mstances.
The ASF chances from your armor and your shield add together.
