[QUOTE="Jack Simth, post: 2181653, member: 29252"] Probably not, as folding is one of the standard (modern version, anyway) of storing maps, which are listed as one of the example objects.On a reasonably level surface, it's easy to stop something from rolling - tie a small ribbon (or something - a bit of rock on a string, or even just tie two scrolls together, or roll the scroll in the double fashion) on it to produce a bump, so that it can't easily roll over it's own bump. That, or put them in a bag/basket, so they are grouped together to begin with. The biggest danger with using them offensively is something I mentioned earlier - you are CARRYING something that can be detonated more easily by someone of lower level (as long as they can still cast Dispell) on your person, that deals 6d6 each - if you have enough batches of 10 for four such attacks, then your DM [u]WILL[/u] send someone after you that either has dispel themselves, or that has a wand of it, to set them off prematurely (while still on you) so that you take - get this - 240d6 damage, reflex half (by scrolls individually - even the rogue with Improved Evasion and a high reflex save doesn't stand much of a chance). Edit: Tactics to use, to avoid the Incidental Dispel problem: Use a Handy Haversack to store them! They are in a non-dimensional space, not on your person! They are out of range of the Area Dispel (when cast at you). Have a non-spellcaster carry them normally; he pulls them from the haversack (free) action, then tosses them at the opponent. Wiz's turn, he dispels them if the BBEG is in range - and BOOM - no more BBEG.... unless the BBEG has a readied Dispel for when the carrier pulls it out.... Flavor: Red paper, in rolls, tied together, with a single string coming out through the center. Sell them as TNT (Totally New Technique). [/QUOTE]
