[QUOTE="phoffman, post: 5414620, member: 77498"] I think that the ritual system should also be overhauled. Personally I felt that the cost of casting them should have been something more personal to the players like focuses and healing surges (kinda like they did for martial practices) I understand that they made the cast times long to prevent ritual casters from stepping on the toes of others, but I think they went too far. Many of the casting times would feel better from a DMs point of view if they just had shorter cast times. Some should have long cast times, but if you didn't want some one casting a spell multiple times in a day you could also have it cost more healing surges. It just feels anti-heroic to have the players cast something for 10 minutes, its like hitting the breaks on the action. To resolve this in my groups we tend to ignore the cast times of rituals unless its something rather dramatic like raising the dead. [/QUOTE]
