[QUOTE="Grakarg, post: 8479259, member: 41096"] While the level of the cast spell is set by the scroll, per the rules on pg 492, you can still upcast the spell from a scroll. It says, "A character who uses a magical scroll can cast it at a higher level, or even cast a spell of a higher level than the character can normally cast, by making an ability check, using their spellcasting ability against a DC of 10+the level at which they cast the spell." It even goes on to mention that if you spend an additional 12 hours in a magical stronghold casting the spell from a scroll, you get an additional bonus equal to your spellcasting modifier on your check to cast the spell. That's crazy good, right? It makes spell scrolls much more valuable and versatile, and probably makes any character that focuses on crafting scrolls (like a wizard probably) more powerful. I'm not convinced that its TOO powerful though, but it might be. Its a definite boost, but because their consumables, I'm not 100% sure if it will unbalance a game at a table or not. I'm on the fence. I'll need to see it in play first to see how my players make use of it. [/QUOTE]
