[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 2775828, member: 307"] You mean "the one and only section" that defines how scrolls are used? That is why the section is headed as "Activation". You want to know how scrolls are used, you go to the section that describes how scrolls are used. We also have this quote, from the description of scrolls: "The writing vanishes from the scroll when the spell is [b]activated[/b]. Using a scroll is basically [b]like[/b] casting a spell". Once again, the decription of what a scroll is, and how it is used does not say "it is casting a spell". It says it is "activated" and it is "like" casting a spell. These are different from "casting a spell". [i][/i] Nice misquote. The whole quote is this (DMG page 213): [i][/i] Ah, I see. So your argument is that the description is the skill overrides the specific description of how the item is used. An interesting argument. Interesting because it is so silly. If you want to know how a scroll is used, go to the description of scrolls. You know, the primary definition. The primary definition says, over and over again, that scrolls are activated. You just cannot overcome the clear description given there. [/QUOTE]
