I really dislike how reading scrolls has been changed from version 1.1.1. I can see the idea that Literacy should affect your success reading scrolls, but currently this puts me off playing most semi-literate character classes, since reading scrolls seems too prone to failure. Also, training Literacy is now more difficult than it should have any realistic right to be.

For example, it's a bit silly that a character with 70+ literacy can first first fail then succeed to read a scroll of warning, and then fail to read the exact same scroll again. Also, you'd think a scroll of darkness once read would be simple to decipher when found again, even with a Literacy score of less than 100.

My suggestion is to implement some sort of literacy threshold (i.e. 75?) after which you can automatically read any scroll, and another threshold (50?) after which you automatically succeed in reading a scroll of a familiar type (meaning a type successfully read earlier). This would make the skill a bit more realistic and make non-wizards more enjoyable to play. Or is it just me who hates wasting a scroll?
