[QUOTE="ForumFerret, post: 4151215, member: 26489"] WHO ARE YOU TO BRING LOGIC TO THE TABLE!??!?! But yeah, after the initial enthusiasm has worn off, your measured response is more appropriate. I remain cautiously optimistic, though - this is more than we've ever gotten before in the core rules. In fact, I'm interested to see what the 'cost' of the ritual is.
