[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6576771, member: 996"] Another consideration is the tone of the game and what the ritual is for. If the item made required a specific ingredient that the party just acquired, and will be critical in defeating the enemy, then if the tone of the game is heroic and dramatic, they should squeeze in the ritual and make it to the enemy 'just in time.' OTOH, if the item is just something the ritualist would like to have, and is browbeating the other players into coughing up the residuum for, then arriving late might seem like a just consequence. If the tone is more that every action has consequences and every resource (including time) must be managed, then there might be a SC to arrive in time, and making the item is an automatic failure on that challenge. If that's true (and it sounds reasonable) it would have made more sense to have rituals have one of two casting times: "perform this ritual as part of a short rest" and "perform this ritual as part of a long rest."
