I’d argue that’s more of a wisdom roll. INT would be a attempt to decipher it without magic, WIS would be knowing not fuck with creepy book or to at least cast detect magic first

It depends on game and edition. Newer d&d for instance, wisdom is all about senses and willpower. It would apply if the book has bad vibes or some sort of “do not read aloud”/“danger” markings or something. Int would be more appropriate for common sense and knowledge of how to handle possibly cursed items.

Nah, it’s the intent of the words not the words themselves. If you have an understanding of the words then you naturally supply the intended intent.

if i read the words “eat shit” i dont necessarily have the intent to eat shit

Not YOUR intent. The word’s intent. The meaning the words impart. If you read ‘eat shit’ you know it means to eat shit, not that it makes you want to eat shit.

seems dumb. makes more sense that reading the scroll aloud would do it. knowing the lexigraphs and being able to put syllables to them, not translating it into whatever language

And helps you with the tomato-based fruit salad.
