I guess we will see a lot of human wizards in light armor.
Is Arcane Spell Failure no longer a thing? Genuine question. It's still a thing in Pathfinder (or Owlcat's WotR at least) so I assumed it was still in D&D too.
As long as you have proficiency with the armor you are wearing, you can cast spells. Just Wizards and Sorcerers don't get armor proficiency naturally so you need racial features or feats to achieve that.
I see. Thank you. I've often "wasted" feats on lessening the spell failure, so it's kind of neat I won't have to do that again seeing as I will indeed be playing human.
You should try a Githyanki Wizard, they start with medium armor proficiency, or a Dwarf Wizard with the new proficiency changes since they also start with medium armor. Basically you end up with 17 AC Wizard without buffs in Act 1. Great fun!
