[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8175770, member: 177"] Just to be clear: D&D rules discussions must allow for folks using official products as printed. In that light, they are both correct. Interestingly, that gets complicated. The original passage on pg 139 says, "...unleashing that magic [I]requires using an action[/I] to read the scroll..." Applying [URL='https://media.wizards.com/2018/dnd/downloads/DMG-Errata.pdf']the errata to that text[/URL], it says, "...unleashing that magic[I] requires the user[/I] to read the scroll..." It isn't until you get to the errata for page 200 that they give the casting time issue. So, they change the rules [I]and[/I] move the information to a different place in the book, which will muddle understanding. Such is the nature of editing after the fact. Space needs to be left in our discussion to allow for that [/QUOTE]
