So far, really... insightful, I think. Something.

Two notes:
  -There isn't a Minor level Spell Ritual
  -For the other Spell Rituals, the effect has to be chosen at the time the ritual is cast, so technically, you should pick which specific spell from the list is going to be emulated by the Spell Ritual.

Whoops. Make it a Ritual of Motion.

Doesn't "at the time the ritual is cast" mean... when it's cast as opposed to when it's prepared?

When it's "cast" IS when it's "prepared."  The actual wording for Rituals is "Charged" and "Discharged."  So you "Charge" (i.e. cast) a ritual, the effect sort of sits in storage, and then, at the Opportune MomentTM Jack Sparrow, you "Discharge" the ritual, and the actual effect goes off, duration begins, etc...

Ah. As if it wasn't already obvious, I've never actually used this stuff before. Two Cure Serious Wounds.

No problem.  This is my first time playing a Ritualist also! 

As for the Spell Rituals, the spells have to be "of fixed or personal" range.  I posted on Ror's Char thread the list of Valid Uses for Spell Ritual.

I've noticed several things that seem missing from those lists. And I thought Touch is fixed range.

The DM of the system's creation put together those lists.  I think his intent was that - like the other rituals - the spell rituals would be things that only directly affect, or are centered on, the caster.  Since Cure X could be used on someone other than the caster, it's not on the list.  If there are things that seem to fit that criterion and aren't on the list, let me know, and I'll ask him.

If it's not meant to be used to affect someone else, why allow for anything other than Personal range? On the same note, if that's the intention; why not allow on-caster only versions of other spells?

Okay... that invalidates some of the listed spells, but whatever. I've changed my Lesser lists accordingly. Replaced the Spell Rituals with Circle of Blood and Ritual of Precision.
 
Lesser and Greater Ritual of Precision stack, right? They both say +Xd6.

Be careful with the circle of blood, it will hurt us too. I expect with the closed in tunnels and  all the circles of good hope we will be close to each other almost al the time.

I'm double-checking whether Ritual of Precision Lesser and Greater stack or whether Greater supercedes Lesser. I should get the info back pretty quick.

A DM's ruling takes priority of course, but my interpretation is that all sources of Sneak Attack stack with each other. (Rogue/Assassin, Rogue/Ritual of Precision, etc) Though I also understand if those count as coming from the same source.
