Iron Chef XIII: Vigilante

[Ozymandias9]

Special Ingredient Rules Clarification:

• Since there is seemingly regular confusion about the topic, for the purpose of this contest, the Vigilante's 3rd and 4th level spells per day are to be read thus:
  
  
  {table=head] Level | 3rd | 4th
  5 | 0 | -
  6 | 1 | -
  7 | 2 | 0
  8 | 3 | 1
  9 | 3 | 2
  10 | 3 | 3[/table]
• The spell list provided with the class in Complete Adventurer (which is taken from that book and the PHB), is not to be taken as exhaustive. Bard spells from other allowable sources are permissible, so long as they are of the appropriate level and the prescribed schools.
  
  
• Since there exists a legitimate rules ambiguity as to whether or not the class carries the Bardic ASF exemption, both readings will be considered valid. Judges are instructed to use whichever reading they feel benefits the contestant's build most.
  
  
  Prior Ruling Overturned on review
  

  Spoiler

  Bard's have their Arcane Spell Failure exemption for light armor listed as an element of the armor proficiencies, not as an aspect of their spell-casting. Vigilante's do not, thus, do not gain the benefit as an aspect of their bard-style casting
  
  

  If anyone can provide me errata (or similar rules clarification) listed for this or any other bard-casting related class that contradicts this ruling, I will alter it accordingly.
