Rituals are used heavily by the wizard in my regular group, and if I was to hazard a guess it would be because:1. I often include rituals in treasure.2. I often provide reagents as part of treasure parcels (yes, <PC name>, you *can* make an Arcana or Thievery check to recover residuum from the portal you just de-activated).3. I often have NPC's noting that they used such-and-such ritual when asked for help by the PC's.4. I often make up new rituals when I need some kind of unique magical effect for the ongoing campaign (such as a teleportation ritual that causes the user to cross a plane of worms and expose their mind to the <redacted> that lives there).If it's not obvious from this, I love rituals. I agree with why they were added to the game, and while I would concede that some of the less interesting ones are a bit on the expensive side, overall they've added a rich dimension to the games I run.</blockquote>
