Message: <blockquote data-quote="doctorbadwolf" data-source="post: 8140384" data-attributes="member: 6704184">I wouldn't increase the cost. It's a nerfed ritual casting as it is, not need to make it overly restricted on top of having a cost that no other ritual caster has to pay. At that point, I reckon most people would just not take the MM and instead take Ritual Caster: Wizard. I'd also propose some other MM options<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Upcast a spell by spending SP at a cost that is lower than the converted cost would normally be. ie, upcast a 1st level spell to 5th level by spending 5 SP.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Absorb magic into SP that is absorbed by a spell you cast, like absorb elements, counterspell, dispel magic, shield, etc. When you negate or reduce the effect of a spell or magical effect with such a spell, you roll a check and regain SP based on the result, 1/SR or something. Prof bonus per day? Whatever.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A Divine Smite style effect to replace empower spell, or as an upgrade to it at level 11. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Create a magical focus item bound to you, can call to your hand as long as on the same plane, yadda yadda, that works as a spellcasting focus, and empowers your cantrips, and x/day lets you act as though you'd spent 1 more SP on an ability than you actually spent. If it's a weapon, you can cast any spell that makes an attack and targets only 1 creature as if it's range where the weapon's range by spending 1 SP.</li> </ul>Also, what about less immediate Advanced Meta Magic options? THings you can do as part of a long rest, and you spend the SP at the end of the long rest? <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">So, learning a spell that you've seen used within the last 24 hours. Or even, you can make a check as a reaction when you see a spell used, and can spend x SP at the end of your next long rest to learn that spell. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Create a thought form that serves you, constructed of your own Will and raw magic.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Impart some of your power into another character, giving them SP equal to what you spend, that they can use to do a short list of cool things.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Create a repository of power, which holds SP equal to 1+what you spend, and which lasts until used. (you can only have one, no one else can use it, etc) It takes a short rest to draw power from the repository.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Recharge or drain a magic item, converting charges into SP or SP into charges. </li> </ul></blockquote>
