[QUOTE="Zustiur, post: 5967570, member: 1544"] This is similar to the idea I am working with. In my current version, there is complete separation between arcane and divine, therefore there are two types of rituals. Both are obtainable via feats. I hadn't thought about bards yet, good catch. Paladins would be similar, in your system, getting cantrips and rituals, in mine; getting ritual casting on top of their normal (limited) spell list. As mentioned earlier, I have no intention of splitting spells into different power ratings, nor of having rituals be more powerful than prepared spells, but please continue - your ideas are fascinating and highly likely to spark further ideas of my own. I'm not in favour of creating variance of power rating for two simple reasons: 1) I only have casual players, so the system needs to remain as simple as possible (not having 6 versions of fireball...) 2) If I go anywhere with this, I'll have to do all of the work myself. I am NOT going to re-write that many spells. Those clauses are only relevant to me though. By all means continue :) One of the ideas I've had but have not yet detailed is the idea that additional people should be able to contribute to a ritual.
