They are a great resource. I don't know about variance. Sure, there is some variation in the usefulness of rituals, but one of the whole points with them is that they are a cheap resource to acquire and since there are no 'slots' there really isn't much reason to be too concerned about it. If a given ritual seems not very useful you don't buy it. If it does, you do. It may end up being handy less often than another one, but if it returns good value then its all good. This is in sharp contrast to powers and feats where you have a serious opportunity cost involved with not taking the most optimal choice. Besides, it is hard to say that one ritual is vastly better than another. They are hard to compare. Sure Comrade's Succor is a great ritual, but OTOH if Tenser's Disk is the one you really need in a given situation then it is hard to say it is 'worse'. Powers you can usually pretty much say "X is better than Y" at least for your particular character. It is a lot more clear cut, certainly with attack powers.</blockquote>
