Save vs. Scrolls Confusion

<t>H all - flipping through the PH and M&T I confused myself about saves vs. spells in scrolls. <br/> <br/> The rules state that challenge classes for saves vs. spells start at a base of 12 or 18 plus a challenge level equal to the caster's level. The rules also state that magical characters can...
