[QUOTE="Ashrym, post: 7851192, member: 6750235"] Wizards have a lot of spells they don't need to scribe at all. It starts at 6 and ends at 44. The cost of one suit of plate mail is the equivalent of 30 spell levels worth of scribing before taking savant into consideration. Costs are not specific to wizards and well worth the benefit of the ritual casting mechanic. It's literally a gold for benefit ability. ;) Scribing spells isn't that expensive as far as money sinks go. I see players spending more on healing potions (which is why all my shops have controlled inventory). I want to point out that wizards don't change much for spells out for a reason. That reason doesn't change for a sorcerer, warlock, or bard. Each has a list of known spells and little reason to actually change them because they've already selected the best spells they could for their builds. Arguing that an ability that wizards don't use is an issue when the other classes wouldn't use it for the same reason seems pointless. If those classes are using it then wizards would use it more effectively for the same reasons. If no one is actually using the mechanic how can it possibly be an issue? And if everyone is using it but the wizard uses it a lot better then how is it a significant issue? ;) The difference between the classes is actual spells prepped vs known and rituals. Swapping spells isn't major in either case. What I do see is the opportunity for these classes to make use of spells on their lists they would never normally touch because of situational use. I don't think that's necessarily bad. [/QUOTE]
