[QUOTE="gyor, post: 5489326, member: 6670153"] Interesting I'm going to have to relook at the fluff. If you look at FR the birth place of shades the most powerful well known shades are wizards and/or clerics of shar. Aka the twelve princes of shade and thier father. Another shade was an Swordmage possibly the most likely defender to take ritual casting. Even the fluff just presented says controller/leader as these classes are the most likely to have ritual casting as a class feature or to choose to take on thier own and of course the shades use a ritual to turn themselves into shades. Its Shadar-Kia that make more sense as rogues and assassins were as Shades fit more as Nethermancers or Death Clerics. Still if a Shade wished to become a melee striker Blackguard makes more sense as scarificing life force for power fits the blackguards fluff and abilities and Paladins are less likely to notice the lost surge. Also Blackguards would probably be more likely to know rituals then rogues from a fluff perpective trained in Religion as Paladins are. If I played a Shade ritual casting is a must for me. It makes sense now. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
