I was interested in house rules centered around ritual magic and couldn't find much, so I tried writing up my own real quick. It sounds good to me, but of course it would. So I'm looking for feedback/alternatives/"hey look dumbass, look at this. ****in' kids can't be bothered to google no more, what's the world comin' to."
Basic Idea: Anyone with the ritual caster trait can keep a ritual book. They don't automatically get any spells for it, but can copy spells that are on their spell list and of a level they can cast per the rules for wizards copying spells into their spell book (PHB pg 114). Then, like a wizard, they can cast the spell as a ritual from their book without having it on their known/prepared list.
Intent: I like the idea of ritual spells and would like to make it more accessible. Allowing casters that already have access to ritual spells not have to use a known spell/prepared spell slot on it makes it more likely that it'll be used.
Thanks for any time/input.
