[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 5267671, member: 27897"] Our group got quite a bit of use out of rituals, in no small part because I spent a lot of time acquiring a very extensing ritual list. I viewed them as essentially on-the-fly, one-shot magic items, that could solve difficult problems. The rest of the party agreed and pitched in money to help me keep up a stock of ritual components. I maximized my ability to cast rituals by multi-classing to Bard. The ability to boost Bluff checks to a ridiculous level without cost, at least once a day, came in very handy during skill challenges. Secret doors and rumours were trivial to find providing I took the time, and spent the components to find them. It wasn't game breaking, but made keeping the flow of the story going easy. I think that rituals are an under utilized mechanic, for many groups. As you say it tends to differentiate casters from everyone else, but it is in fact a mechanic that is available to ANY character class through taking the feat, or multi-classing. [/QUOTE]
