Rituals are TOO DAMN HARD in Pathfinder 2e, and how I'd fix them! (Rules Lawyer)

9.3K views • 5 months ago • 24:54 They're VERY hard, in fact. Do you agree? I break down the math and propose "Ronald's Rules of Rituals"! 0:00 Intro 1:35 Rituals are harder than their level/rank 6:53 Rituals say F*** You 8:04 Mathing out the badness 10:14 Megan Intermission 14:32 Making undead minions sucks! 17:30 Ugh Megan 18:05 Ronald's Rules of Rituals ADDITIONS/ERRATA: -15:57 The undead minion is still created on a REGULAR success! Still, I think a less than 50% chance to succeed on a lower-rank ritual, combined with the cost per attempt, still makes creating undead far too risky, difficult and costly under RAW! ============================ LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!
