Scrolls and metamagic
Some relevant facts:
-PHB, page 141, "Read a Scroll" is listed as a standard action that provokes AoO.
-PHB, page 142, activating a spell completion item (including scrolls)
-DMG, page 238, activation and effect of a scroll
-DMG, page 236, metamagic rods
EDIT: Pages listed are from 3.5
Based on these facts, is it possible to apply a metamagic effect on a spell that is being cast from a scroll, using a metamagic rod or a sudden metamagic feat?Last edited by trehek; 2007-10-08 at 09:19 AM.

Re: Scrolls and metamagic
No. Metamagic rods are activated by casting a spell. While using a spell completion item such as a scroll is similar to actually casting a spell, it is a subset of the "Activate a Magic Item" action (see the Actions in Combat:Activate a Magic Item).
