The problem with scrolls is that any class can use them in BG#

A spell scroll bears the words of a single spell, written in a mystical cipher. If the spell is on your class’s spell list, you can read the scroll and cast its spell without providing any material components. Otherwise, the scroll is unintelligible. Casting the spell by reading the scroll requires the spell’s normal casting time. Once the spell is cast, the words on the scroll fade, and it crumbles to dust. If the casting is interrupted, the scroll is not lost.

The only exception is a level 13 rogue using the "use magical device" skill.

Ok. I think its fair though to allow use. I'm pretty sure casters are quite a bit more powerful than martials. It's just that EA has not reached the power spikes yet. For a martial to not attack is a trade off depending on the situation. Losing rage, losing extra attack, losing stunning strike, losing crit smite chance, etc. Frequency of scrolls found should be whats tweaked not the ability to use them.

Let martials have a choice.

And that is how you get a broken game that plays like you dropped some DnD characters into DOS2, but stripped them of class requirements for half their skills. Not to mention that there's near zero reason to choose eldritch knight as a sub-class since you can just load up your battle master with scrolls.
