Message: <blockquote data-quote="Khaalis" data-source="post: 4585770" data-attributes="member: 2167">The problem I have with rituals is based entirely on the Component Cost aspect of the system. Ritual Casters have to spend an exorbitant amount of money to do something that should be a basic class function. Personally, and I know not everyone feels this way, I think that a class like the wizard should be able to cast basic rituals like Comprehend Languages, Arcane Lock, etc. any time they feel the need to do so without having to fork out huge amounts of cash (10g for a 1st level character after costing 50g to learn?).Now on certain rituals like Brew Potion, Enchant Magic Item, etc. then yes they should require an expenditure of cash.I am currently toying with 2 ideas for this. Both "exclude" any ritual with a Component Cost of "Special".Idea 1: New RitualCREATE RITUAL CASTER FOCUSYou create a focus item used to cast a specific category of ritual.Level: 2Category: CreationTime: 1 HourDuration: PermanentComponent Cost: SpecialMarket Price: 100gpKey Skill: Arcana, Nature or Religion (no check)You touch a normal item and turn it into a magical focus of your level or lower for one specific Ritual Category such as Travel. As long as you wield this focus when casting a ritual of the foci's category and of up to your level, you do not need to supply a Component Cost.  This ritual’s component cost is equal to the Component Cost of a ritual of your level times 2......You can also use this ritual to improve the level of an already created focus.Example: Harry is a 2nd level wizard and chooses to create a Warding Focus. He chooses to create a silver bracelet and performs this ritual, spending 50gp as the Component Cost (the standard component cost for a 2nd level ritual). From now on, whenever Harry casts a Warding Ritual he knows of 2nd level or lower, he can do so without paying the Component Cost of that ritual if he is wearing the Warding Focus Bracelet.Idea 1: New FeatFOCUSED RITUAL CASTERPrerequisites: Ritual Caster, 2nd levelBenefit: You gain the ability to cast a finite number of rituals each day without paying the associated component cost (as seen in the table below).2nd - 26th - 310th - 412th - 516th - 622nd - 726th - 8Thoughts?</blockquote>
