New Skill: Perform Ritual
Perform Ritual (Con; Trained Only; Armor Check Penalty)
Check: Each hour of the Ritual, or portion thereof, requires a Perform Ritual check against a DC of 10 + spell level. Each check after the first one increases the DC by one until the end of the casting. A failed Ritual Casting check results in a loss of control over the magical powers being harnessed. You are only able to perform those rituals if your class level is equal to or higher than the level of the ritual.
Retry: No.
Special: If you have 5 or more ranks of Concentration you get a +2 Synergy bonus on Perform Ritual checks. This skill is cross-class for Rangers.
Example Ritual:
Ritual: Handfasting
Level: 1
Gods: Yelm, Orlanth, Chalana Arroy, Hroldi
Requirements: 1 Cleric, 2 willing participants
Ceremony Time: 10 minutes
The Ritual of Handfasting is the Moagaran marriage tradition. It consists of two willing participants speaking an oath before the god of the cleric that is performing the ritual. The details of the oath are determined by the cleric, but often relate to fidelity, mutual happiness, etc.. The purpose of the ritual is to evoke the blessing of the gods for the benefit of the participants. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus if you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge - Religion.
