If the spell is above the level in which a character can cast, then an arcana check is required. However, the basic rules (and I assume the PHB) seems to have changed this. The rule in question now states:   If the spell written on the scroll appears on your class’s spell list, and the spell’s level is one that you can normally cast, you cast the spell successfully. Otherwise, you must make an Intelligence (Arcana) check to see if you can successfully cast it. The DC equals 10 plus the spell’s level. On a failed check, reading the scroll only consumes its magic with no other effect.   Has the rule now changed in that a 1st level fighter can cast a fireball spell from a scroll with a DC 13 arcana check? Or is the wording bad, and they only meant that if you have it on your list and it is above your casting ability you need the check?
