[QUOTE="Alaxk Knight of Galt, post: 4712939, member: 4129"] Aside from a lack of rituals, there are two other major problems with them 1. Lengthy cast times 2. Onerous component cost Wizards, should have feats to mitigate these two items. We know from the Bard previews that they can cast a bardic ritual once per day without using any material cost. I hope that wizard gets a similar feature for arcane based rituals. Let's look at [B]Wizard's Curtain[/B] It is a first level ritual that creates a curtains around a room. These curtains block line of sight and impose a perception penalty to those outside of it. It takes 10 minutes to cast it and cost 30g. (Note: to purchase this ritual is 75g, that makes the initial cast of this spell cost 105g). Wait, with 10 minutes and 30 gold, the caster of this ritual could send the fighter down to the market and buy 4 curtains. With the left over money, the fighter could also buy a nice meal for those who will have the conversation and a guard dog. When the 24 hours are up (the duration of the ritual), the party would still have the 4 curtains and Fido for the next time you wanted a private meeting. Edit: One thing I did like from the preview was the ritual that let you use healing surges to continue the effect. I'm hoping for a feat like this in Arcane Power :D [/QUOTE]
