Excerpt: MoTP Rituals (and ToC)

[Mouseferatu]

Even in this new form, Rope Trick would seem to work against that goal. This perhaps makes it less-used, but if anyone decides to get it, they'll use it to do exactly this (or they may as well have never gotten it in the first place).

Sure. You misunderstand; I don't mind them having the option when it's absolutely necessary. When the party's truly had their butts kicked, or they need to cast some Remove Affliction rituals, or whatever, I'm fine with them having the option.

But the fact that it's expensive means that they'll only use it occasionally, as opposed to it being a matter of course.

Okay, so now you can jack down its level and reduce the cost. Problem solved.

Stop making things up!

On the other hand, Houesrules are awesome.

Rope Trick is 12th level now?

That's nice - from two points of view: It makes it harder to use, more of a big thing if the (higher level) party needs to be safe *right now*

From the "in-game" view: It was always too low - I mean it creates an extradimensional space on the fly, sort of a mini-plane, for eight hours! It's messing around with fabric of reality, planar travel and warping the space... probably all at once. Sounds more like "big magic" than some easy trick every somewhat accomplished dabbler in magic can achieve.

Cheers, LT.
