This statement doesn't check out at all when you consider we are going to be playing above level 4. Yes, there are many spells that are better than an attack action, especially when you consider that spellcasters often use spells for benefits beyond pure damage. If a fighter can cast any spell via spell scroll when the situation calls for it, and get 3 attack actions + action surge + battle master maneuvers, then there isn't a reason to play a spell caster.

Not to mention, this defeats the entire purpose of having more than one spell casting class. If every class can cast every spell via a scroll, then classes don't mean anything, this isn't even an RPG game, let alone D&D. And this includes wizards, they should NOT be able to learn every spell in the game from scrolls, only the spells available to wizards on their spell list can be learned.

For all the talk about Larian cheese, I have always considered it a given that spell scrolls would eventually become properly restricted to class before release, it really would be the most damaging of all changes that could be made to D&D in this game, to give away the most special aspect of the class system to every other class. Talk about changes to action economy and combat mechanics all you want, but if everyone gets access to each other's class abilities, then there really is no D&D here, by any stretch of the imagination.
