That is a real no brainier.Attacking carried objects is way more of an abusable angle than scrolls. It's not explicitly allowed because that will have a fundamental shift of game play. You would always target shields first because at most the AC will be the same as the creature that is holding it but with a much lower hp, everyone would walk around with 3+ backups to their primary weapon, bows would be useless, and generally the game would be bogged down. Lot of foot work to counter a fairly limited tool. Attacking objects being held is not explicitly RAW. That doesn't mean it can't happen but it's not something a player can safely assume they can do. Not possible. Using a scroll still counts as casting the spell so the normal rules for spell per round limitations apply.</blockquote>
