I'm sure this has come up before, but I'd just like a quick clarification on this paragraph from page 19 of the PFS Guide:

"For the sake of simplicity, there is no difference between an arcane and divine scroll or wand in Pathfinder Society Organized play. Thus a bard and cleric may both use the same scroll of cure moderate wounds."

If I have a wand of mage armor, can a non-arcane caster use it? For example, a cleric doesn't have mage armor on his spell list. Does he still need to make a UMD skill roll?


Yes he does but not because its not arcane or divine but because its not on his class list.

Indeed, the only thing that changed about wand/scroll usage is that there's no arcane/divine split. Hence why no other change was mentioned.

Wands are, afaik, not divided into arcane and divine in core either.

A non arcane caster could use it if it was on their spell list. I'm sure there's some domain , somewhere, with mage armor on the list.
