[QUOTE="Dan'L, post: 5129630, member: 68954"] You might consider giving the players an optional build for certain martial classes that swaps out one of the existing class features for one that supports PC interest in ritual casting: [B]Class Feature: Student of the Arcane[/B] - You gain the Ritual Caster feat as a bonus feat, allowing you to use magical rituals. You own a ritual book, and it contains two rituals you have mastered, (one pre-determined for the class*) and one 1st-level of your choice. In addition, add Arcana to your list of Class Skills. *Suggestions for customizing for each martial class: [B] Rogue[/B] - Use Student of the Arcane in place of First Strike. Make [I]Comprehend Language[/I] or [I]Secret Page[/I] the pre-set class ritual. [B]Warlord[/B] - Use Student of the Arcane in place of Combat Leader class feature. Make [I]Gentle Repose[/I] the pre-set class ritual. [B]Ranger[/B] - Use Student of the Arcane in place of your Fighting Style**. Make [I]Animal Messenger[/I] (or Create Campsite, if you want to bring PHB2 into the picture) the pre-set class ritual. **I chose to replace Fighting Style to limit the number of "free" feats given. If you think this hamstrings the Ranger too much in combat, or in Paragon Path choices, I suppose you could replace Prime Shot instead. [B]Fighter[/B] - Use Student of the Arcane in place of your Fighter Weapon Talent. Make [I]Make Whole[/I] the pre-set class ritual. -Dan'L [/QUOTE]
