Thank you for all the responses. I owe the player an apology.

I have a player who was able to make his Use Magic Device roll to cast a spell from a wizard scroll. The player is a Rogue, however, I ruled he couldn't cast the spell because he lacked the required spell component. I want to check with the community to see if I made the correct call. He wanted to cast "Protection from Arrows" from a scroll from a treasure horde. It requires a tortoise shell as a material component. Since he didn't have a spell component pouch (Rogue class) and hadn't acquired the tortoise shell through any other means I ruled he couldn't cast the spell. I suppose the question is if the required spell component was part of the making of the spell or part of the casting. Then it would also bring up the idea of a found scroll of "Wish" or other such spell. Is the 25k diamond part of the creation of the spell scroll or part of the casting from said scroll. Please let me know what you all think. |
