Introducing Rituals

With the advent of the item system, it's become apparent that action lists need a bit of decluttering. In addition, it's become apparent that having to refocus before and after item creation.... well, sucks. For those reasons, we've decided to institute rituals.

You can read about rituals in their . In a nutshell, rituals are actions that you don't have to prepare, but instead take a certain amount of time to perform. Instead of refocusing, preparing Create Lesser Healing Salve, creating the item, then refocusing again, you can now take a few minutes and be done with it. Obviously, they won't be effective in combat, but then again, they were never really intended to be.

As a bonus, rituals are now listed separately from normal actions on your character sheet. This is the first of several planned enhancements, which will eventually include the ability to "Favorite" or "Hide" actions you know. Again, this is to help better consolidate the important information near the top of your sheet, while pushing everything else down for reference as necessary.

Note that many characters already possess rituals, which include one-shot item creation actions. These have already been updated on your character sheet, so there's no need for you to do anything additional to take advantage of the change.
