Please do so when you find free time. Because in my extensive bug reporting, though I've never specifically searched on this topic, I haven't seen this. Nor do I remember it.

I understand the thought process behind it since that's how Tradeskills work. I just never remember spells having a fixed failure rate regardless of level.

Here's a quick post referencing it that I quickly googled. This is from an eq2 forum talking about ice comet in eq1 at 50.

Tom is correct. I played a Wizard on one account and a Rogue on another from the day the game went live.

I was one of the first 50s on my server, and when I went through the NUTTY quest to get the Ice Comet spell, I almost passed out when the first moss snake I cast it on resisted it. (gg Sony.)

The second one, however, got spanked for 1150 dd.

At level 50, it would use a little over a full bubble of mana...and to get a resist REALLY pi$$ed me off. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

When I get some time I'll find an era appropriate reference, but that was the first result.
