Identifying a scroll with a spellcraft skill check.

[Ambrus]

How often can this be retried?

*edit* may have gotten that wrong. See below
[strike-ignore]I think as many times as you like, however each try is a full round action. So it is best if done before combat. Out of combat you can Take 10 or Take 20 (20 rounds or 2 minutes).[strike-ignore]

Still, you can take 10 if you're ranks are high enough.

Per the PRD:

Quote:

To decipher an arcane magical writing (such as a single spell in another's spellbook or on a scroll), a character must make a Spellcraft check (DC 20 + the spell's level). If the skill check fails, the character cannot attempt to read that particular spell again until the next day. A read magic spell automatically deciphers magical writing without a skill check. If the person who created the magical writing is on hand to help the reader, success is also automatic.

So, once per day, per scroll.

Thanks guys. I'd missed the "or on a scroll" bit, assuming that sentence referred only to reading spellbooks.

I can see that, I missed the other section at first. would be nice if they cross referenced a little more in this case.
