I don't see why every village priest would know it. One would think that some politically powerful churches would keep it for nobility and people high in their own ranks. But in any case those who have it wouldn't teach it to everyone because they'll lose power.Mind you, I'm going to house rule rituals. I think I'm going to put them in three categories, Secret Rituals (known to few, and might become less powerful the more people know them) Mysteries (rituals mostly known to those initiated, whether in a Church or other society, but can be leaked out) and common (usually weaker but more easy to get). I imagine that common rituals are usually weaker but a lot more available (stuff like Gentle Repose might be available in books in most big cities).Also while I'm busy why not make different "Raise Dead" rituals. I could give more information but that would spoil it for anyone in my future 4.0 group. I would for example have Raise Dead Scrolls in my world (in the heroic tier), however these will be somewhat unnatural ones, especially in the first five levels. Sure, lower level requirement, but there should be (at the very least) moral and ethical consequences for fiddling with the balance between Life and Death. And for those who wish to learn the ritual from a book? Well, there are legends of such books stored in the Underworld... surely no ordinary hero might get them and survive. But perhaps a true paragon?</blockquote>
