[quote=urktheturtle]Was it the case that in previous editions of DnD each class could use scrolls? I don't remember that being the case in previous BG games?
In 3.5 you could train a skill "Use magic device" that would allow you to ignore restrictions, and attempt to cast a spell from a scroll. But it was a roll every time you try to use it.
I like this, I like wizards being able to learn any spell off a scroll... I like it a lot.
And every character should be able to use scrolls, this was one of the worst design decisions in D&D 5e... so much so, that they created a new magic item in Tasha's in the form of spell tattoos that mimics the most common homebrew functionality of scrolls.
Allowing everyone to use scrolls gives players more freedom. But it blends all classes.
Spells are the main reason to play a spellcaster. Now, if my battlemaster can use a scroll to fill thet role, why would I use a wizard that is squishy?
And the system isn't symmetrical. For wizard to get access to battlemaster maneuvers he has to burn a feat.
