It could use a bit more application than it does (eg. Warlock should use it to even out the casting stats among the classes). It's okay, but a small boost wouldn't imbalance it.Let's talk about Spell Scrolls. Here's the thing, they're fairly common treasure. They're an iconic part of the game. But if the party finds a scroll and doesn't have a party member who can use it, they can't, and that isn't fun.So...how about an Intelligence Ability Check to use a scroll not on your spell list?Proficiences can be applied as follows:Druid/Ranger - NatureCleric/Paladin - ReligionWizard/Warlock/Sorcerer - ArcanaIf a spell appears on multiple lists, choose.The standard one still applies. One thing about the standard check is that since there is no proficiency to it, it doesn't get easier except by raising Int. This makes it easier to cast high level scrolls, but then, they still need to find them first.Spell on list, level you can cast: No checkSpell on list, level above what you can cast: 10 + Spell LevelSpell not on list, level you can cast: 10 + Spell LevelSpell not on list, level above what you can cast: 15 + Spell LevelNote, this allows non-spellcasters to attempt to cast but the DC will always be 15 + Spell Level and they probably won't have a high Int either.The effect, I believe, will make the Wizard the ultimate scroll user as they value Int. It will also allow another character who has a high Int despite their class not using it to be the party's backup scroll user which I think is fun. Any other effects good or bad I'm not thinking of?</blockquote>
