[QUOTE="keterys, post: 4755808, member: 43019"] And if they're playing certain character archetypes, I hope they smash, sneak, or talk their way around it. For example, my fighter might ask if I can use Religion to disrupt a ritual that you might be thinking of Arcana as used for - my rogue might see if he can sneak up and steal something vital or disrupt the ritual circle or something - my warlord might disrupt things with the aid of others or his powerful intimidation abilities. And all of them, if faced with an initial setback, might just smash the ritual caster and/or circle. In no case would any of those characters roll Arcana. I mean, my warlock, invoker, sorcerer, or bard certainly would... though both of the latter two might still try to figure a way to talk their way through, by distracting the caster for instance, but at the end of the day it's just not proper RP for any of those first three characters I mentioned to take Arcana. No matter how much you put it in the campaign. [/QUOTE]
