A little confused with Scroll Thaumaturgy


Thaumaturge Class


How does this feat exactly work? Does it negate the need for the trick magic item feats?

So I roll against my Thaum DC to activate a scroll of any tradition?
I've noticed a slight issue with this - again key stat related

The Class DC will be boosted by Charisma. And the skill I am rolling against it is going to be either Wisdom or Intelligence. Giving a less than 50% chance of this working

Also I seem to be getting confused with activation rules and can't find what happens on a failure or a critical failure...

You don't roll anything to activate a scroll.

Unless the spell you're casting from a scroll calls for a spell attack, I guess.


Ok this makes much more sense and is much better

So is the "Scroll DC" in this instance the saving throw required if necessary?

Yes!

It's pretty handy being able to use scrolls without being a caster or having trick magic item.
