    Default Failing scrolls at above 100% success rate

    I have a 105% rate and my light armor is reduced to 0% fail from 10%, yet i am still failing scrolls from public area. Any clue why?

    Do you have a shield?

    Isn't a roll of "1" still considered a natural fail?

    Well, it is - the tooltip shows what you ~should~ have by the book, but in fact the Arti Knowledge bonuses aren't being added in.

    It's a known bug, and apparently a tough one to solve. :/

    Also the inadequate game engine can fail to output the effect of the scroll, even if all the relevant skill/asf/caster level checks pass.

    OP, what does the combat log put out when you activate, and when it fails?
