Hey guys, hoping someone can help a little here. I'm wondering what are the chances that an Elf character can cast 'Unlock' using a mage scroll. As it is, being an elf does not give the 20 pt. skill bonus that being a human would. After all, being human receives the JoAT (jack of all trades), therefore allowing an 'invisible' 20 pts. across the board. However, since using a scroll allows the caster to cast at a circle one level lower than the actual spell being cast, and 'Unlock' being a third level spell, would it be possible (albeit infrequent) for an elf to use the unlock scroll and eventually cast successfully?
As it is I don't have an elf character nor a scribe to make scrolls, and further, a container that can be 'unlocked' using only a scroll.
