Instead of Dreaming Writers
Speaking in Tongues
Sometimes you talk in your sleep but it isnt in any language you know... occasionally when conscious you can tap in to that same thing... mimicing the words you hear from one language into another and not knowing what you are saying till after you have said it. etc.

And I would make the skill ... Intuition

OK I guess religion makes sense for Speaking in Tongues too ;-)

In general I like the idea of excuses for free rituals... I am thinking about allowing every class to have an associated ritual or similar. The swordbonding is a flavor ritual for swordmages... why not have flavor rituals for others.

Yeah!
I might have to come up with some new rituals just to fit some of the dreamer backgrounds I'm thinking of. For example...

Dreaming Clerk
"In the waking world, you are a quiet and unassuming man attending to your responsibilities behind the desk. In the dreamlands though, you may very well be the savior of the Universe."

I want to have some kind of skill and ritual that a character with such a background could use, but I'm not quite sure what at this point.
