Excellent idea, but piss poor implementation. My group has over 30 rituals at their disposal from core books and the Book of Rituals and unique magic items that cast rituals, and they've only used maybe 3 and the group is 10th level now. There is a major disconnect between their character powers and the rituals and i'm not sure what to do about it. Although i hate to think a whole new edition is needed to fix that instead of just a creative houserule. For what it's worth though, if i KNEW there was 5th edition coming out in say 3 years, and i was aware of certain issues they were addressing, i probably would not buy another single 4e book.</blockquote>
