Blesses and curses *can* fail.  I've seen it happen.  It typically happens at
the lower bard levels (~10 or less).  If you've never seen it, then I'd guess
that you have a level 20 or so bard, which validates the 5% per level claim,
since your failure chance would be 5%.  Level affects both chance of success
and effectiveness.  A level 25 bard or so will consistently succeed and do a
95% bless/90% curse.
