Scroll DC's

[steverimmer]

Heh it won't if you have rogue levels....Buppi once tried to use a continual light scroll and failed even though she was a level 10 cleric because it rolled a check on her UMD skill.

as i mentioned before, if you have rogue levels scroll use defaults to the UMD check so regardless of the fact that you could use the scroll as your other class with no penalty you may not be able to because of the UMD scroll check


as to L comment, there was one change made to Scrolls in respect to UMD a DC was added (25 +spell level) to the skill to stop things like a rogue with 1 or 2 points in UMD reading 7th level scrolls and such

Heh heh, like I said, I gaved up on it, cost me 8 skill points lol.  Only thing I don't get is that while playing the game on my own or on another server, at 9 in UMD I could cast nearly everything I wanted too, fireball ect.. and here on Layo can't even cast sleep, weird *shrugs*

    There's your answer. "There was one change made to scrolls in respect to UMD a DC was added (25 +spell level). Guess it's just a Layo thing, and it seems alright with me.
  *thinks back to the old days when all it took to scribe Raise Dead scrolls were sapphires and any old Bard could read em*

25+spell level is the PnP rule... I had just assumed it was the NWN rule too, but looking through the manual I found no reference to it, so I guess it is a layo thing hehe.  All the things we get to take for granted here...

On another topic:

Arent raise dead scrolls still usable by anyone?  Seems like there wouldnt be much purpose for them otherwise as if there was a cleric present, they could just memorize one, or rest and memorize one.  And no one learns divine spells, so the only reason to have them is as one use items.

Like i already said, Wizards (pure wizards, at least) aren't able to use either Raise Dead, Ressurection or the Restoration scroll series, from what i checked last.

[Talan Va'lash]

Sorry flame, my brain is a bit scrambled since we've discussed how things are in multiple settings in this thread...

Raise dead, ressurection, and restoration, are only usable by clerics in layo?  (just confirming which setting youre refering to)

[FlameStrike]

No, they can also be used by rogues, bards, and certain fighter-like classes from what i last checked, although it wasn't on Layonara.

 I'm not sure this can be modified to allow certain classes the use of these scrolls, so you might as well confirm it yourself ingame.

 I used to play somewhere else with a pure fighter, and i was able to use Raise Dead scrolls, etc with no trouble at all. Could be due to the fact that there are no variables involved when it comes to the effects of the spell, and these scrolls are sometimes crucial to the advancement of the party in certain situations, so maybe this was made that way.

Raise Dead, Resurrection are usable by all classes, all levels.

[FlameStrike]

I am pretty sure that pure Wizards could not use Raise Dead scrolls, could you please check that ingame, orth?

[Talan Va'lash]

Ah, cool.  What about restoration?

Edit: below here is original post, but orth beat me to it, so... disregard

yeah, in the OC (and thus in the selection of standard items in the toolset) there are versions of the aforementioned scrolls that have no class restriction.  There are also versions with class restrictions i think.

I just dont know which are in layo.  I would check IG, but I dont have any of these scrolls.

[orth]

I'll try to find the time to check it, but I'm positive it's fine.

I've given Raise Dead scrolls to fighters, druids, druid/wizards, rangers, bard, rogue...not once have they mentioned not being able to use it.  And how on earth we'd target wizards disallowed I think would pop out to me.

There is only one instance of each of those scrolls in the toolset, none of them have class restrictions.

You wouldn't happen to have chosen evocation as your magic school, did you? I think it has something to do with that, because you won't be able to cast spells of opposite school...At least I've been into that problem on another server...
