[IWD2] Can spells be cast from scrolls without an Arcane Spell Failure Chance?

Post by Klorox »

I'm curious as to whether or not a spell can be cast from a scroll without a chance that it'll fail due to armor or shields being equipped.

I've got an idea for a Cleric character who would possibly take a Wizard level or two just to be able to read a few scrolls.

TIA

Scroll usage, whether casting or learning, is dependent on the spellcraft skill. I'm not sure if there is an arcane failure chance, although I haven't had a scroll-cast spell fail.
