Message: <blockquote data-quote="OhGodtheRats" data-source="post: 5416365" data-attributes="member: 71815">In my game where I played the Litterbug like a fiend, I was a Ritual Caster and there was an early debate amongst a couple of the party members: Do we really want to expend our pool of resources on rituals? Like, sure, I can summon Mounts/Eagles/etc but their argument was...we can just walk, right? Basically it added this weird argument at the table where the ritual casters had to really fight to perform rituals. Do we split the party loot equally and then they pay for it out of pocket but then not help out the party because they didn't help pay or is it an assumed "loss' for Ritual Casters? (Alchemists are a bit the same way, since they make Combat Consumables, even harder to convince stingy folks are worth draining the Financial Barrel of Holding)My DM solved the issue by giving me a Familiar Slot item (Capitalist Teeth, Beholderkin ate the item) that let me as a Daily "Sell" a Magic Item we found on a 1:1 basis instead of the usual 1:5 ratio, with the resulting "gold" being only able to be used on Rituals. Solve all our problems....cashing in one magic item like that means a huge pile of ritual components that didn't threaten some party member's feelings on Team Finance.  (My DM also treated the Craft Magic Item thing a bit differently but that required "Gold" not Ritual Components, as per the Familiar Digestive Trick mentioned above)There's something coming up with me talking about this more with Outsider, but some of the Essential Class Features that are "Ritual Effects" are great because they remove the $ aspect completely. Suddenly using the Cleric's Rez on an NPC guide/bride slain in an encounter is just an argument of "Can we take an Extended Rest" and NOT "Can we afford to heal an NPC that isn't really that important to us?"  I've already seen several games where a randomly slain NPC gets brought back just for Roleplaying goodness.-Jared</blockquote>
