I'd be suspicious of the fighter who said, my character is really a celestial ritualist at heart thanks to these new rules. Taking advantage of rules isn't so hot, unless the new rules can help you better express your character concept. Rather than letting everyone forge, if the owners allowed people with valid character reasons to explain why the new rules mean their character concept can be expressed better with some different skills and then gave forges case by case, I think that would be cool.
Honestly I don't see how someone who doesn't have read magic can now say that this rit stuff makes celestial a better expression of their character concept but then again I don't know their character concepts.
I do have a celestial scholar who might have been built differently plus a celestial rogue who might have gone more adept-like or something - haven't really thought it through yet. But certainly the new rules not affecting everyone doesn't change that some people could now better realize their character concepts by changing their builds around.

Dan Nickname Beshers said:On the contrary.
My point is that the ritual updates aren't the same kind of super, game-wide changes which resulted in the last global free forge. I could see allowing scholars specifically, or any character with a current rank of formal a limited opportunity to spend their build a little differently, but I really doubt that the owners were looking to have a bunch of people go from rogue to scholar to take advantage of the new elemental burst rules.
