Hrm, that didn't come out very well. My apologies.
Anyway, bottom line, I'm not trying to impose my will on the troupe. If the majority want Mastery ability score of a ritual spell to be allow relaxed ritual casting, or don't care if that's the HR and want to make an exception for themselves, personally, that's what is being discussed.
If you're not for it, but can live with it, say that, and it will help establish consensus.
As it is now, if I may vote on jebrick's behalf
jebrick: 1 ability score in mastery allows relaxed casting of rituals
Peregrine: appears to be a mixed vote, so for consensus
me: I'm in for what the troupe as a whole can agree to. I'm done making arguments on why I think my understanding is closer to RAW. That discussion is OVER. And I don't want to see a rehash of that done here in this saga. So, if you want to discuss this, go over to this threadin the Ars forum and speak your piece there.
