A couple things bother me about the way rituals are laid out in the PHB. The fact that seemingly anyone can cast a ritual from a scroll without meeting any prerequisites, and the fact that you don't seem to have to be *trained* in the skill that a ritual uses.
Am I reading the rules right, or are there restrictions on what classes can use what rituals, or that certain skills must be trained? Are other people bothered by the way this is done? Anyone got some house rules to consider?
I am thinking about house ruling that you have to be *trained* in the skill that a ritual is dependent on in order to cast that ritual. This prevents "classic" wizards from casting Raise Dead (a particularly egregious example IMO). But I'm not so sure it goes far enough.
Thanks for the advice,
