Scrolls

Scrolls are magical Consumables that allow characters to cast spells without expending spell Slots or being a spellcasting class. Scrolls can be very useful in situations when you do not have any remaining Spell Slots, when you need to cast a Spell that you don't have prepared or when you do not have the required spellcaster in the party.

How scrolls work

Scrolls in Baldur's Gate 3 follow different rules from the 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons ruleset. Here are some key points of how scrolls work in BG3:

• You can cast any Spell with the appropriate scroll, even if the spell's level is higher than your highest-level spell slots.
• Any class can cast any spell with the appropriate scroll, even if that class cannot normally cast spells.
  • However, conditions that prevent spellcasting, like Rage and Wild Shape, still apply to scrolls.

Wizards can scribe Scrolls, adding spells to their spellbook

• The Attack roll and the Difficulty Class of the Saving throw from scrolls always benefit from your current Proficiency Bonus and your class's Spellcasting Ability Modifier, even if your class cannot normally cast spells. In case of multiclassing, the spellcasting ability is determined by the class the character most recently took a first level in.
• Spell Scribing: A Wizard who finds a scroll for a spell they do not know may permanently copy that spell to their spellbook at the cost of  50 gp per level of the spell. This also consumes the scroll.
  • Cost is reduced to  25 gp per spell level for spells belonging to the same school as the Wizard's subclass (see Wizard for subclass options).
  • In the event of a class change, if the character is no longer a wizard but later becomes one again, spells learned with scrolls will still be memorized. At least one wizard level is required to access it.
  • Scrolls can not be created (scribed from a wizards spellbook).
• Scrolls that are used to cast spells that offer different variants of the spell, such as selecting an element for Chromatic Orb, cannot be used directly out of the character's inventory and must first be put on the character hotbar.
• Scrolls used in combat will not be consumed if successfully countered by an enemy's Counterspell.
