[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6045947, member: 1465"] This is true. But I think there is still a significant difference when they were tied to equipment. Maybe some DM can go very easy on equipment, but in general you shouldn't expect a Wizard to enter a dungeon with a load of a scroll or two for each spell of a hundred or so that she knows. Rituals are equivalent to being able to scribe a scroll on the fly as long as you use it immediately. Unless you run out of money, you never run out of scrolls and the strategic (i.e. downtime planning of what to scribe) side of scribing scrolls is totally removed. I forgot to make clear however, that overall I [I]like[/I] having rituals in 5e. Because I don't necessarily always want that strategic side I just mentioned to be part of every campaign we play. I like having rituals rules in the core books (and I think the best design decision they made about them is "[I]prepared [/I]spells can be cast as rituals by Clerics" VS "[I]known [/I]spells can be cast as rituals by Wizards) but I would very much prefer them to be optional, and in no way I would like spells to be "siloed" into "dailies" VS "rituals", for the reasons in my previous post.
