Message: <blockquote data-quote="Willie the Duck" data-source="post: 9386695" data-attributes="member: 6799660">One thing I would like out of a ritual system is to actually make cleric and wizard nonessential party members. There are a number of spells that are relatively required in (many forms of) certain levels of play -- lesser/greater restoration, remove curse, raise dead/resurrection, plane shift/astral projection, to a lesser extent dispel magic, scry, divination, and teleport. In theory you could cover all of those with a party with a druid, divine soul sorcerer, and lore bard (or other combination of people pitching in), however, realistically that wouldn't happen. I would love love love it if rituals/ritual casting/some other method could remove that issue.Once we're messing with the system as much as this, the actual level cut-off doesn't matter, it would be specific spells that should go into the cast-from-slots paradigm and others into the ritual one. one-minute combat spells seems like a waste (yes, you'd deserve the meteor swarm in that case, does the game benefit from people trying to set that up?). I'd rather there be 1 minute rituals for OOC effects that don't need to be in the slot system, 1-minute to 1-day rituals for things someone might want to do in a high-adrenaline location where disrupting/preventing disruption of said ritual would be an interesting game-session experience*, and days-to-months rituals for plot-level effects.  *ex: "we can deconsecrate the temple to Cthulhu if we complete this 6-hour ritual. We 3 have to perform the ritual, you 3 have to intercept cultists trying to stop us"</blockquote>
