I think the changes to magic item use (spell scrolls etc) need some revision.

for instance, rangers/paladins can't even use their own scrolls. (assuming assassins/harper scouts/blackguards will have the same problem with thier spell lists.)

It's the same thing for Bards, too. I could see making a Bard use UMD to scroll-cast a Cleric spell or a Wizards-and-Sorcerers-only spell (like Ice Storm, which Bards can never cast innately), but Bards are still spellcasters. So making a Bard pass a UMD check to cast a Bard spell -- as listed in the scroll's description (ie. Expeditious Retreat or Ultravision) -- from a scroll just doesn't seem right to me. :-/
