[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7542267, member: 6779196"] Casting a spell from a scroll takes the same amount of time as casting it from memory, which for most spells is 1 action, but it varies from spell to spell. That said, drawing the scroll may take time, depending on how the DM interpets the rules on interacting with objects in the environment. Personally, I would rule that drawing a scroll can be done as part of the action used to cast the spell, but since you can only interact with an object in the environment as part of an action or movement once on your turn, you couldn’t also draw a weapon on the same turn, for example. Other DMs might rule that you can do both, and some might treat drawing the scroll as a Use an Object action. Yes, it does. Concentration is its own activity, and you can only concentrate on one thing at a time (usually a spell, though I’m pretty sure there are a few other abilities that require concentration). [/QUOTE]
