[QUOTE="Doctor Proctor, post: 4690064, member: 78547"] Well, I think that would depend on your DM. I don't recall anything specifically in the rules that allows for that kind of sharing, but neither is there a rule saying that I can or can't give the magic Longsword I'm no longer using to another party member. So it's really up to your DM I think...but I don't think that there'd be a [I]huge[/I] problem with it. Perhaps he could cut the price in half or to a quarter? Essentially still charging for some specials inks and such, but eliminating the charge for studying the shopkeepers books? As for having more than one ritual caster in the party, there are some reasons for it. For one, there's skill selection... While most of the rituals are Arcana, there are a fair number that are Religion or Nature checks. And while a Wizard can potentially have all 4 skills at 1st level, he won't necessarily have as high of a Wisdom for Nature as someone like a Cleric might. So sometimes it can be good just to have multiple ritual casters so that the can specialize in rituals fitting their stats. If you had both a Wizard and a Cleric in the party, they both get the Ritual Caster feat for free...so why not have both of them get rituals? They can each buy separate rituals as they see fit, and thus allow the party as a whole to have more rituals covered. This might also work well since you can have other characters assist in rituals, meaning that the Cleric and Wizard might often end up working together to get the rituals they're castin completed. Ultimately though, it might be good to have two ritual casters in case someone leaves the game or dies. They could always pick up the old character's ritual book and use it as their own once the original owner is gone. [/QUOTE]
