[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8494183, member: 6790260"] Depends on what you mean by "a different form of caster." Here's the feat text from 4e's Ritual Caster feat. So, you had to already have training in the skills related to magic. (Keep in mind that, in 4e, all skills were intentionally very broad: being trained in Arcana meant being [I]both[/I] informed about arcane magic and able to interact with it to some extent.) Once you have the Ritual Caster feat, you can spend money to learn rituals, which then only cost you the material cost for performing it. [I]Anyone[/I], even people who don't have the Ritual Caster feat, can use a ritual written onto a scroll, but ritual scrolls have a higher gold cost than learning a ritual so you can cast it yourself. If "trained in Arcana or Religion" and "able to perform non-combat forms of magic, at some financial cost" qualifies a person as "becom[ing] a different form of caster," then yes, you're correct. I would note, though, that classes traditionally associated with spellcasting--Wizards, Clerics, Druids, and Bards--all got both the Ritual Caster feat for free as a class feature, and Wizard and Bard could even ignore the ritual component cost of casting a ritual (but not other costs, like the diamonds for resurrection) at least once a day.
