If not, why not?The way it is, frankly, Clerics should ALREADY be the target of all monsters capable of intelligent though. After all, if I were spending all of my strength beating a guy down, and then all of a sudden another guy walks up, touches him, and he's back to full vigor, shouldn't my target change? How does the use of scrolls affect this decision at all?And frankly, if a monster is thinking, "Alright- I'm gonna kill that Cleric, because once he's dead, none of the other characters will be able to use the scroll of True Resurrection that I'm sure he has in his scroll pouch, and they'll be forced to spend their precious time going back to town to get someone else to do it! Huzzah!" then something is seriously wrong with that monster's tactics.The rules are the way they are for a reason. There's plenty of reasons to use scrolls (which have already been mentioned) and plenty of reasons to use wands (which have already been mentioned) and it makes perfect sense, and, in my opinion, shouldn't affect the game as much as you're saying it does. Many people complain enough about death not being an issue with the Resurrection spells- and yet, you're saying that ANYBODY should be able to use a scroll of True Resurrection, not just the Cleric. (Well, anybody capable of caster Divine spells, but that's beside the point.) What's your reasoning? True, a Druid casts Divine spells, but how is a Druid going to know how to read a scroll of True Resurrection better than a Wizard, with Knowledge (Arcana) and Knowledge (Religion) maxed out? Nature doesn't offer True Rez's, last time I checked.As I said, the rules are the way they are for a reason. That's how it was in 3e, and, again, as I said, it shouldn't be as big of an issue as it is. If the only concern in your game is who's gonna use the scroll of True Resurrection, it sounds like there's a problem.</blockquote>
