Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kerrick" data-source="post: 1071030" data-attributes="member: 4722">I'm not really familiar with circle casting, so I can't say anything on that point. We require feats for both Ritual Casting and forming a spell web, as well as for being a focus (leader) for both. We might ditch the Ritual Casting feat and keep the Ritual Focus, though (yes, our rituals have to have a leader to focus the energy), as most spellcasters (we allow anyone, arcane or divine, to join with like spellcasters to cast ritual magic) gain at least rudimentary training in ritual magic.  Not bad. Even considering the fact that a bunch of 10th level casters can throw off a 9th level spell, it'll still take them several hours to do it, and cost them some damage. (BTW, don't they have to make Concentration checks when taking this damage?)One thing I'm kind of wondering - how can they cast spells above their level if they don't know them? I mean, I could see them being able to cast the spell if the leader has it scribed into his book (you can do that, even if it's a higher level than you can cast), but if it's some spell they've never even seen (even if it is a common spell like, say, meteor swarm), how can they do it?</blockquote>
