I've just read the Ritual Spellcasting Rules...

Now i'm thinking about the various limitations and the possibilities for big groups of casters to do really big ritual spells...

Limitations:
- all members must have the same tradition - no prob
- all members must know the spell - no prob
- the force of the lodge limits the force of the spell - ok -> big spell, big lodge = no prob
- the force of the lodge limits the contributing members - should be ok, too...
- the lowest ritual spellcasting skill limits the contributing members -
WHAT??? in combination of the skill limits in SR4 this makes ritual spells with more than 6 members impossible... or more then 7 members, if each member has the skill aptitude quality (everybody needs this...)

conclusion:
so the great ghost was done by max 7 dudes with skill aptitude "Ritul Spellcasting"
maybe my group should do this to...

Comments? Have i missed something?
