It's my understanding that one of the design goals of 4E was to ditch the whole issue of having the wizard player suck up 20 minutes of everyone's time each and every time the party camps (usually after a 15 minute adventuring "day"), flipping through rule books and selecting which spells to memorize.<shudders at the whole "forgetful wizards" schtick>Anyway:I think you nailed it here. Seems like rituals are there specifically to provide variety and breadth to the caster's repertoire. If you're the type of player that enjoys having many options (I know I am), then you can delve deep into what is (I think) an optional system.But yeah, I think one of the goals of 4E was for your character to be more consistent throughout any given level. The previously talked-about "swap out powers" thing at levelup means that players can dabble and experiment without fear of making an irrevocably bad choice.</blockquote>
