I cited Arcane Trickster because they get Arcane spells, and thus would be able to cast them off of scrolls. I am unsure of whether or not they could scribe Arcane scrolls, I haven't played one. It was also intended to inject a bit of humor into this, because it seems there's some tension building, even if it's not my own.
I also believe that, initially, UMD was a bard thing. I've slept many times since that came out, so can't be sure. Then there's DDO, where there's a faction of players that believe that every class should have enough UMD, regardless of what they have to sacrifice to get it, to use Raise Dead scrolls. I found that totally ironic, since they also preach "you must be self-sufficient". I can't imagine a scenario where one would be casting Raise Dead on themselves... I never subscribed to that philosophy, and in the TT sessions I played, it wasn't expected.
I also took issue with the "the only build you need" premise. Now, maybe it's just force of habit, since some classes can't use some scrolls elsewhere, but I always pass scrolls to the appropriate classes. Divine scrolls to Shadowheart, Arcane scrolls to the Arcane casters, etc. I did a ranger run, and kept the appropriate scrolls on the ranger, but otherwise I pass them to the classes that they're historically appropriate to. So, I've never run into this "the only build you need". I strongly suspect that there are other players that do exactly the same thing, and some of them may even be aware that they could do otherwise. While I have agreed that it needs to be addressed, it's also something that can be completely ignored by players that aren't interested in exploiting it. I have, even if it's "accidentally", since using it never occurred to me.
It's sort of like the LR abuse, I've missed more content because I don't abuse it than I'd care to admit. To the point where I've even suggested doing what's done in swtor when comps want to talk and putting an icon on their portrait to indicate that. There could even be a variety of icons, for "go to camp, but don't need to rest" and "need a LR to trigger", like Astarion's first camp interaction. That way, players like myself, that aren't actively abusing an exploit in the system don't miss out on anything that could be important later. They can add different rules for different difficulties, right down to hardcore rules once the game releases, or nears release.
