Scroll vs. Spell resistance


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I've searched a bit, but found no answers... So, if I use a scroll, the saving throw is based upon the minimum prereqs to cast the spell. Fine. What about spell resistance? Do I use the minimum caster level to cast the spell? IE, I cast grease from a scroll, my SR check is +1 for a 1st level caster, +3 for a second level spell and so on...

Thanks in advance.


See page 15-15 on page 491 of the pathfinder core rule book. Yes scrolls are considered to have the minimum caster level normally (although in 3.5 it was possible to make scrolls with caster levels higher then normal, you could for instance make a scroll of cure light wounds with a caster level of 5 by paying a bit more... I do not know if that is still an option in Pathfinder).

It absolutely is. They just cost more to make.
