[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 4686068, member: 114"] BUT, I started that digression with my observation that in modules H1 and H2 the final BBEG is doing a ritual in the middle of the last combat, and it is a significant factor in the combat. It appears that the designers, although not putting any rituals that can be used in combat in the books, regularly put them into their modules (and presumably also their home games?) I think that most of the rituals could probably be reduced to 1 minute casting time quite effectively - they still take a while to cast, but with combats capable of lasting 10-20 rounds, a ritual which takes one minor action per round for 10 rounds to complete could be a useful and interesting factor of any combat - perhaps the wizard is attempting to use Knock to bypass the door which is sealed from the far side and has no keyholes, or the bridge has to be Made Whole so they can get the prisoners to safety while the ravening hordes are being held off by the rest of the party.
