[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 7288232, member: 6787503"] Oh, and what do you think the "C" in NPC stands for then? :) Actually, I just found the changed text I've been talking about. It's a sentence added to the Monster Manual (not the DMG) in its section on monsters with the spellcasting trait that says, “The monster is considered a member of that class when attuning to or using a magic item that requires membership in the class or access to its spell list.” So that should cover spell scrolls too. Oddly, if the same logic was applied to PCs, Arcane Tricksters and Eldritch Knights could be considered wizards for the purpose of attunement to magic items and using spell scrolls. Although I think I would be inclined to allow such characters to use the items in question, I don't think it's technically allowed under the current wording of the rules for the simple reason that Arcane Tricksters and Eldritch Knights are not wizards, and the wizard spell list is not [I]their class's[/I] spell list.
