I can make use of that in my game'. You can even give out Ritual Scrolls to random Goblins because you don't need Ritual Casting to use Scrolls. And the unused ones make great loot for players.But putting the Rituals in the combat stat block is a waste of space and time because I'm not using rituals in combatIt's a game book, not an ecology manual. You can say you don't like the lore that's there but it'd be a lie to say there's no lore to the monsters.</blockquote>
