@JeremyECrawford I'm a little confused at the difference between a 'scroll' and a 'spell scroll'. How are they not the same thing?

Scrolls are a category. Spell scrolls and scrolls of protection are examples of things in that category. #DnD https://t.co/MczX1jQqCx

@SwipeRightJoe a ‘scroll’ scroll of protection and a ‘spell scroll’ scroll of protection (other than how the two scroll types work) A scroll of protection (DMG, 199) and a spell scroll (DMG, 200) are entirely different types of scrolls.

@JeremyECrawford so you wouldn't get a scroll of protection that's a spell scroll? (The SA column uses SoP as a normal scroll example)

Correct. They're distinct magic items, just as a frost brand and a flame tongue are distinct but share a category. https://t.co/Hk6iMY6hPw
