Rituals : What We Know And What We Hope

[helium3]

Or you could end up with one page of rituals with the very short list of D&D stuff they didn't quite want to get rid of which can only be cast by a character with the ritual casting power and enough levels in the heroic class that grants it.

Talk to me about how cool 4th edition rituals are when we've seen the rules.

There's no way they'd let Rituals be this lame. If they were, then the class powers described in the PHB would pretty much be the sum total of the magic available in the campaign setting. And that would mean (from a clompingly nerdish point of view) that magic's only purpose in the game world is to facilitate adventuring.
