Every now and then I'll drop a post in here to mention that I'm going to try using a rule a little differently, see how it works out. I'd say it's worth your while keeping an eye on this thread for my posts, as they may pertain to you.
Feel free to reply and discuss any Rules changes, infact, be encouraged. But keep on topic.
If you want to discuss general things relating to the campaign or the setting I'm putting together around it, just start another thread in my little Shadowfell sub-section.
Rule Change - Ritual Casting.
No one has, in the almost year we have been playing, used a ritual. At all. I get the impression, this is a common problem with 4th edition.
From what I have been considering, and reading, I have decided that this is because they are stupidly expensive.
So, from now, untill I say otherwise, Rituals do not have a componant cost to use. At all.
To continue to use rituals, I ask that any such spell-caster makes, whenever possible, suitable in-character motions towards re-stocking their ingredients and componants.
I will try not to charge for these Items for the most part, unless a significant amount has been used. If you have the appropriate skills, foraging for componants may be an acceptable source, as would bartering in civilised settings.
All I ask is that you keep some record of which Rituals you have used since you last stocked up, and how many times.
And we'll see how that works, for a while.
