Inuyasha put me onto Rituals with his cool Taboo Ritual http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?479537-Ritual-The-Taboo-Ritual-(possibly-needing-a-better-name-PEACH)
So I was wondering why this isn't getting more attention and I think one reason is the quasi-evil slant the bulk of the rituals seem to have.
We can correct that!
There was once a cleric named Motiliam who resided at the Shattershield Monastery in Lastwall. Motiliam was granted angelic visions of rituals for performance by the monks and paladins of the monastery. Motiliam collected these rituals, which are peformed as chants, in the Hymnale Angelicus.
So far:
Preparatory Rite
School: Enchantment Level 4
Casting Time: 40 minutes
Components: V, S, SC (at least 4) M (incense worth 500 gp) F (Signum Ordinis)
Skill Checks: Perform (chant) DC 26 2 successes; Knowledge (religion) DC 26 2 successes
Range: Touch
Target: Primary and Secondary Casters
Duration: 1 day
Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance None
Backlash: The primary and secondary casters gain one temporary negative level. The primary caster is exhausted.
Failure: The primary caster is voiceless for one day. Secondary casters are exhausted.
EFFECT
The first of the rituals to be revealed to Motiliam, the Preparatory Rite is said to prepare the community to undertake further rituals. The casters form a ring and hold hands, with the primary caster leading the others in a litany regarding the angels and their mission to aid humanity. Upon successful completion, the casters gain +10 on Spellcraft checks and + 10 on Knowledge (Planes) checks for the rest of the day.
What other angelic rituals suitable for paladins and monks can you think of to add to the Hymnale?
Edit Tweaking the numbers with more sleep. Since we're positing a martial society we'll award them the Signum Ordinis - a Lord's Banner (crusades) [APG] in raw silk 4' x 8' with the crests of Lastwall and the monastery in gilt thread with a massive 5 lb platinum holy symbol of Iomedae atop the staff. Easily worth 120,000 gp and as a focus worth -2 to the DC.
