In addition anyone can cast from a ritual scroll no matter if they have the skill or feat. Note that in the recently published Adventurers Vault Alchemy has been introduced as an alternate to Rituals. Alchemy has skills such as nature, religion, and Thievery associated with them in additon to Archana.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542288088513943439.post-72142264917253197522008-06-12T07:11:00.000-06:002008-06-12T07:11:00.000-06:00Damn it, I knew there was something else I wanted ...Damn it, I knew there was something else I wanted to discuss -- I, too, caught that wording, where it was unclear whether or not anyone could perform a ritual that didn't "match" their typical power source.<BR/><BR/>Additionally, the skill requirements for rituals to determine the success or strength of the ritual would often provide the prerequisite needed for Ritual Caster if they don't already have it, so Skill Training might become a more popular feat that I suspected. Exceptions include Arcane Lock performed by a cleric, who can take Arcana as a trained skill already.Crwthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040674620903529496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542288088513943439.post-83707425820799564972008-06-12T02:40:00.000-06:002008-06-12T02:40:00.000-06:00To me rituals represent something special that can...To me rituals represent something special that cannot be done any other way. The +1 bonus mentioned in your ritual can come (easily??? or expensively) from a feat or an equipment bonus.<BR/>All the rituals I've read so far are for things like ressurecting making items or as you mentioned other things that in 3rd edition you would have to expect in order to prepare<BR/><BR/>as a side note, I do not know if it is the phrasing or if I understood it incorrectly, but it seems to me that as long as you have the ritual caster feat and an appropriate skill training(which if I understood correctly you can get with a feat) you can perform a ritual. Does this mean that a warrior can now remove disease? a rogue will be able to create magic items? who knows, maybe I missed somethingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
