The DMG has rules and a failure chart on what happens when a character tries to cast a spell scroll and is unsuccessful. But I'm not sure where the rules are on determining if you fail at casting a spell scroll in the first place.
I thought it as in the PHB, but I couldn't find it. And it seems like the rule is that if a casting class already knows the spell, he succeeds automatically at casting from the scroll, but if he doesn't, or if he is a non-casting class, then he makes an intelligence (arcane) check with the DC at 10 + the spell's level. But I'm not sure where I'm getting that idea. Any help is appreciated.
