I would like to get a few oppinions on this. Do you think that the artificer must meet the clerical wisdom requirements for creating divine scrolls. (i.e. in order to create a 3rd level scroll he/she must have a wisdom of 13) ?

and scrolls created by artificers are neither arcane nor divine.

An artificer uses UMD (Cha based) to "fake it" when making any item - including scrolls. And as the prev poster mentioned, any scrolls or wands he makes aren't arcane or divine.

The key ability of a totally different class to cast spell that's not even magically produced the same way (the same spell, though it may be), should have no bearing on what the artificer does.

Belkar is correct. An Artificer meets the requirements for a spell by making a UMD roll for each requirement he does not already meet. Were an Artificer to have a WIS 13, he would not need to roll UMD to meet the requirement to make a scroll for a 3rd level spell. If he does not have that WIS, he must roll for the wisdom requirement and then roll for the spell (and both would have to be successful to create the item).
