In a couple of recent threads we've been talking about running low gold campaigns. In 3e magic items made it difficult to run a campaign that didn't shower the player characters with riches as they rose in levels. 4e makes it much easier to pull the magic items and replace them with inherent bonuses. In turn, this makes playing a lower gold campaign a real possibility. You could even play a "hungry warrior" campaign, where even highly skilled fighters often find themselves with little more than the armor on their backs and a sword at their sides (think Conan or Seven Samurai).
If you take out magic items, the one thing that still seems to be balanced around cash are rituals. While there are other constraints, it's the GP cost that keeps you from just casting your favorite ritual all the time (at low levels, at least). So I'm looking for a good way to balance rituals without using gold. Any ideas?
