@JeremyECrawford can a pc with no spellcasting ability use a spell scroll?

A spell scroll is unintelligible if the spell isn't on your class's spell list. See the scroll's description for more info (DMG, 200). #DnD https://t.co/kQ3e9Ay7vo

@JeremyECrawford What if a magical effect can allow you to comprehend the writing? Could you use it then?

Spell scrolls: understanding the writing isn't the issue. Understanding how to cast a spell of the sort on the scroll is what matters. #DnD https://t.co/Jg2I4GsQWP

@platostotleI understand most of the symbols used in math, doesn’t mean I understand the chalkboard in Good Will Hunting. Great analogy!

I’m so glad the book is called Dungeon Master’s GUIDE, not Dungeon Master’s RULES. This is not a ruling that sits well with me, so I’ve tossed it for my home-brew game.
