{{Spells}} | |||
'''[[Scrolls]]''' are magical [[Consumables]] that allow characters to cast [[Spells|spells]] without expending [[Spells#Spell Slots|spell slots]] or having 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 you do not have prepared, or when you do not have the required spellcaster in the party. | |||

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 | 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: | ||
* | * Any class can cast any [[Spell|spell]] contained on a particular scroll, even if the spell's level is higher than the character's highest-level spell slots, or that character lacks a spellcasting class. | ||
** However, conditions that prevent spellcasting, like [[Rage]] and [[Wild Shape]], still apply to scrolls. | ** However, conditions that prevent spellcasting, like [[Rage]] and [[Wild Shape]], still apply to scrolls. | ||
[[File:Scribe Spells Example.webp|thumb|Wizards can scribe Scrolls, adding spells to their spellbook]] | |||
* Spell Scribing: A [[Wizard]] who finds a scroll | * The {{Attack Roll}} and [[Difficulty Class]] of the {{SavingThrow}} from scrolls '''always''' benefit from the character's current [[Proficiency Bonus]] as well as the [[Spells#Spellcasting ability|Spellcasting Ability Modifier]] of its class, even if the class cannot normally cast spells. In case of [[multiclassing]], the spellcasting ability is determined by the spellcasting class the character most recently took a first level in. | ||
** | * {{SmallIcon|Spell Scribing Icon.webp}} '''Spell Scribing:''' A [[Wizard]] who finds a scroll with a spell they do not know may permanently copy (scribe) that spell to their spellbook at the cost of {{gold|50}} per level of the spell; this also consumes the scroll. | ||
* | ** Cost is reduced to {{gold|25}} per spell level for spells belonging to the same school as the Wizard's subclass ''(see [[Wizard#Level 2|Wizard]] for subclass options)''. | ||
== List of Scrolls == | ** In the event of a class change where the character is no longer a wizard but becomes one again later, spells learned from scrolls will still be memorized. At least one wizard level is required to access them. | ||
** Scrolls can not be created (scribed from a wizards spellbook). | |||
** If one tries to scribe a wizard spell scroll whose level is too high, text will say the wizard level is not high enough. This is not necessarily true. Instead, in order to scribe a higher-level scroll, the '''combined caster levels''' of that character's spellcasting classes must be high enough to cast that spell, yet a character only needs one level of wizard to scribe any wizard spell contained on a scroll {{ref|The peculiar ability of multiclassed spellcasters with a single wizard level having access to most wizard spells via scribing from scrolls (with all the patches that have been applied since its discovery) is likely another example of [https://geek-related.com/2013/10/12/rule-zero-over-the-years/ rule zero] being used by Larian in the game.}}. For example, a character with ''wizard 1/bard 2'' has 2nd-level spell slots, and thus can scribe the 2nd-level wizard spell Detect Thoughts (although in this case they would not be able to learn 2nd level spells from either class during the level-up process). | |||
*** When considering combined caster levels and wizard spells to scribe from scrolls, it may be helpful to bear in mind which [[Spells#Spellcasters|spellcasting classes]] are full, half and one-third casters. | |||
*Scrolls used to cast spells which 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 will not be consumed if blocked by [[Counterspell]]. | |||
*The level requirements for buying scrolls are as follows: | |||
**'''Character level 1''' : level 1 and 2 spells (also [[Speak with Dead]] which is a level 3 spell). [[Helsik]] can also sell some level 3 and 4 spells to level 1 characters. Yet unlike Helsik (whose scrolls can vary) level 1 and 2 characters can always buy {{SAI|Stoneskin}}, {{SAI|Wall of Stone}}, and {{SAI|Flesh to Stone}} from [[Boney]]. | |||
**'''Character level 3''' : level 3 spells | |||
**'''Character level 5''' : level 4 spells | |||
**'''Character level 7''' : level 5 spells | |||
**'''Character level 9''' : level 6 spells | |||
*A [[Sorcerer|Sorceror]] may apply Metamagic to scrolls, with small behavioral differences compared to applying Metamagic to spells: | |||
**Scrolls of spells with sub-spells (Such as [[Chromatic Orb]]) will erroneously report their Sorcery Point cost to be a multiple of the number of sub-spells. For example, applying [[Metamagic: Twinned Spell|Twinned Spell]] to a scroll of Chromatic Orb will report that it requires 7 Sorcery Points instead of 1. Opening the sub-spell menu first before applying Metamagic will allow it to be used. | |||
**Scrolls inside containers cannot have Metamagic applied to them; they must be in the main inventory of the caster. | |||
