Just something that never really occured to me before. I'm guessing that it does, but it never hurts to ask.
Thanks.
Thanks.
and nothing more...Activate the Spell: Activating a scroll requires reading the
spell from the scroll. The character must be able to see and read
the writing on the scroll.
Could you let me know the page for that (since it pretty much shoots down my argument)?niteshade6 said:By the PHB, it says to use a scroll you still have to make the apropriate gestures and somatic components
Grendel said:DMG pg 175. under the heading 'spell completion'
it mentions "All that is left to do is perform the short, simple, finishing parts of the spell casting (the final gestures, words, and so on)." ...
This is the only reference to a somatic component. Draw your own conclusions. In the interest in game balance, I have ruled that it does require a somatic component, otherwise it makes the still spell feat pointless. And creates and unfair advantage for multi-classed wizards, sorcerers and bards.
