Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jürgen Hubert" data-source="post: 4384528" data-attributes="member: 7177">The reasons for the low levels are twofold:First of all, in both cases the casters have some outside "assistance" (note the "Binding" category) - in the case of the Blessings, the influence of the Seelie and Unseelie Courts of the Fey, and in the latter case the flame intelligences at the planet core.Furthermore, I wanted these rituals to be somewhat accessible. Plenty of high-level eladrins should know the Blessing of the Stars, since it is the sole means of propagating their entire race. The same is true for the dark elves and the Blessing of the Dark - it should be possible for relatively small and isolated dark elf cults to start over. The fact that the targets are newborns should also reduce the amount of "mystical energy" needed (as well as the sapient sacrifice for the latter ritual).The same is also true for the "Imbuing the Flame Below" ritual - I wanted to present the azer as a small, but growing faction of the population of the dwarven kingdom they live in, and I didn't want all epic-level Flamekeepers be preoccupied with casting the ritual nonstop. It's still a more difficult ritual than the Blessings, since it's cast on an adult and the transformation is more drastic. But it's not out of range.Are the effects accessible to player characters? If so, how do you want to represent them mechanically? With feats?</blockquote>
