Ranger and spell casting

[BookerGrimm]

I can't cast from scrolls in battle as a Ranger. The use item option does not show up even though the scroll is in the use item slot. Can someone please confirm that this is the case or is it a bug?

Cheers.

Is it a spell in your spell list? Can't use scrolls for spells from other classes

There isn't many druidic spells on scroll I have seen path without a trace other then that I don't recall seeing any others.

You may cast scroll spells only from ranger's spell list.

I guess rangers don't like to use scrolls cause they're made from plants... what spell was it you seemed worthy to cast from a scroll?

Not mandatory.
You can make scrolls from your enemies skin and ask someone to scribe them.
No nature damage this way.

In the options/settings I believe you can turn on the option for any class to use scrolls of any kind, I know I was doing a player created campaign and at level 3 lucked out with a pass without trace scroll dropping it made the mansion and the guards inside super easy for my ranger

Solasta uses a different ruleset for spellcasting from objects (scrolls, armor, weapons) than DnD 5e.
You can only cast spells from those items if you already have access to them as a spellcaster.

Meaning that sword that gives you the option to cast Spirit Guardians 1/day can only be used by your Cleric. And that scroll with revivify can only be used by your paladin or cleric.

Also there is no point in putting them in your quickslot, since you can use scrolls from your backpack. Just like potions, and they take the same action to use.

Actually true only for scrolls. Sword can be used even by fighter, same for various rings/boots/circlets with spells/day.

Didnt work in my normal playthrough. Prehaps in workshop games, or they might have changed it since.
You sure its not because you modded the game?

A Wardenblade, the sword in your example, can be fully utilized by any character that can wield a Longsword. This includes characters with Martial Weapon Proficiency or Elven Weapon Training (=an Elf). By "fully utilized" I mean that they can cast Spirit Guardians too -- even Fighters with a subclass that cannot normally cast spells.

ps. I play with NO mods.

But usually you don't take flawless concentration on martial classes, which is not great for guardian spirits.

Spells from items also tend to have low dc/spell attack.

So basically give my scroll of invisibility to the mage. Duh.

Normally you can only cast spells from yourclass' spell list, but you can enable universal scroll casting in the options menu
