If you take a close look at them some rituals are very useful, but actually duplicate the ability of specific magic items. The Exodus Knife, for example.If you're taking out skill rolls from rituals, then you'll have to raise the cost of casting them. If you don't, then you're removing a significant barrier to spamming certain rituals. You can also keep skill rolls but allow alternate skill use, which can eliminate the issue of the skill barrier.Rather than thinking about what rituals are essential to the game I would tend to tack the opposite tack; which rituals have the capability to derail the game? Eliminate them and keep the rest. I was a rather heavy ritual user in our 4e campaign, but no one else seemed to care about them. The Cleric took Raise Dead and Remove Affliction, then left it at that. On the other hand I had 39 rituals in my books, by level 20, and used several in every session. Not all of them were used in 'classically appropriate' situations either.</blockquote>
