Can non-spell casters use spell scrolls?

Yes, non-spellcasters can use spell scrolls in D&D 5e by making an Intelligence (Arcana) check, but it's harder and riskier than for a spellcaster, often requiring a high DC check (like DC 15 + spell level or even higher), and a failed attempt can destroy the scroll or trigger a mishap, depending on your Dungeon Master's rules. While official rules are a bit vague, most tables allow it as a fun way to give martial characters magical options, often with house rules to balance it.
