Scroll DC bug ?

[?]

Hi,

I dont know if it's intended but I think it is not.
Scroll spell DC in the game is : base 8 + main caster modifier + proficiency.
So, I was doing some test with my main char :
A lvl 9 with 8 lvl in wizard and 1 lvl dip into cleric.

Until I dip one lvl into cleric, it is my INT modifier which is used for scroll DC ( 19DC), but as soon as I take one lvl in cleric, it is now WIS (14DC) which is used for scroll.
I just dont understand, and I'm not really familiar with 5th edition, but, is cleric a sort of class that "outclass" every other class when you try to multiclass into it ?
is this abug or an intended feature ?

For what it's worth, scroll rules differ drastically in tabletop.

The major differences are that
(1) you can only cast a spell from a spell scroll if it's on the spell list of at least one of your classes (exception: high-level thief rogue can eventually ignore this limitation")

(2) if it's on your class's spell list but you're not yet high enough level, you need to make a raw ability check (i.e. no proficiency modifier) to be able to cast it instead of the spell scroll just being wasted to no effect, and

(3) relevant to your question, spells cast from spell scrolls have fixed DC based on the level of the spell. This avoids needing to ask answer questions like "what if the caster has two different classes that provide the spell and they use different spellcasting abilities".

E.g. in tabletop, if you a 20th level pure wizard with INT 20 casts a Fireball from a spell scroll, it would always have a DC of 15 for the resulting saving throw. The same wizard could not cast Bless from a spell scroll at all, because Bless is not on the wizard spellcasting list. If he were a cleric-1 / wizard 19, he could certainly *try* to cast True Resurrection from a spell scroll, but because that's a 9th-level spell and he's not a 17th-level cleric or druid he'd have to pass a DC 19 (10 + spell level) Wisdom check or else the spell scroll just goes poof.

Larian chose to change things up, and they probably just have buggy logic in figuring out which DC to use when you've got multiple classes involved.

did some testing because i was doing a bard with a dip in cleric with the same problem. The answer seems to be that it considers which ever was the most recent caster class you picked up to be your main caster class, so respec starting as cleric and it will use your inteligence for scrolls once wizard is second class. even dipping across and changing back still makes it think you caster preference has changed.
