Ritualist

While some learn the art of ritual casting through rigorous study, other gifted individuals may find that a combination of natural talent and luck gives them surprising skill at performing rituals, whether they want that power or not.

Ritualist Dedication Feat 4

Uncommon Archetype Dedication

Prerequisite(s) expert in Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion

You have begun to master the difficult art of casting rituals.

You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to all primary checks to perform a ritual. You learn two uncommon rituals with a level no higher than half your level; you must meet all prerequisites for casting the ritual to choose it. At 8th level and every 4 levels thereafter, you learn another uncommon ritual with a level no higher than half your level and for which you meet the prerequisites. You can cast these as the primary caster, but you can’t teach them to anyone else or allow someone else to serve as primary caster unless they know the ritual as well.

Special You can’t select another dedication feat until you’ve gained two other feats from the ritualist archetype. If you retrain out of this feat, you lose the rituals learned from it.

When you do, you must fulfill any requirements for the secondary caster, and you attempt the secondary check normally performed by that secondary caster. You can’t replace a secondary caster who is the target of the spell (as in the atone ritual).
