What?
What good would a scroll be without a spell exactly?
It actually plays well enough as is.
Then again, I also mix Scroll Master and Scroll Scholar archetypes, and pick up 7 levels of Cyphermage. I call him the Scroll Lord.
The typical tactic with a Scroll Master, I've found, is to whack a few times with your scroll blade, block a few things with your scroll shield, then when they are almost destroyed, 5-ft step back and cast that lightning bolt, haste, or whatever you scrivened that day. Whip out another one, and get back in there! Works great with buffs, de-buffs, and can provide that last bit of oomph to kill that thing you were working over.
Bear in mind that they are not meant entirely for melee, without some major buffing going on. Rather, they cast their spells, then whip out their scrolls to give some nasty paper cuts whenever anyone gets too close. One of the Cyphermage's Cypher Lore selections lets you draw a scroll if you move at least 10 feet, and does not provoke when retrieving one in either case. Beyond that, he has a lot of scroll based and buffing abilities, such as being able to modify any scroll as if with Extend Spell.
The combination can turn out fairly beastly in combat, particularly if you scribe your battle spells in scrolls and save your spell slots for support.
I was really interested in trying to make a Read or Die-style Paper Master out of the Scrollmaster and was basically using Movin's ideas. I tried to sell my GM on a Feat for the Class that said instead of using Spell Components all Spells with Spell Components you cast now require an equivalent expenditure in Paper equal to the cost of the original Spell Component. My GM laughed at me and said the Feat would Gimp my Character, but he let me do it anyway. I only played the Character for one Session and we never got any Scrolls and the rest of the Party wouldn't agree to sit still so I could make some. I'm drawn back to the concept every now and then and I'd still like to work it out someday.
