So, I was looking at the rules for nonproficiency with shields, and got to thinking about equipping a beguiler with one. Looking at the Armored Mage ability, it states:
"A beguiler's limited focus and specailized training, however, allow you to avoid any chance of arcane spell failure as long as you restrict yourself to light armor"
Do you think, RAW, not RAI, that this allows a Beguiler in light armor to avoid ASF chance from shields?
