Just wrapped up a pretty epic battle for the soul of Strasbourg; a cadre of 6 witch hunters up against three Dark Coven witches, a score of minions and two hate monger demons. At stake was the eruption of a whole nest of hate mongers that would have spewed out into the world, leaving Strasbourg and likely a large swath of France and the Holy Roman Empire a blackened shell in their wake. But through teamwork and some creative thinking, the witch hunters put an end to that threat and received their just rewards.
And in the midst of all that, I get the question: "hey, what type of action are my prayer rites?"
WH2 rulebook, pg 188 wrote:
Cast a Rite - Each Rite description will note which category the casting entails. There are no free action Rites, but Trivial, Quick and Complex Actions are all represented. In no case will a character be able to cast more than one Rite in a round without a special ability such as a Talent or Order ability.
But beyond this, theres nothing about what categories the individual rites fall into. Currently, I've simply ruled at enacting a rite is a complex action, while Enacting a prepared hermetic rite is a quick action. But this is just a placeholder until there is a more official ruling.
Are these going to be covered in errata? Or R&R? Any chance we can get a preview? Eric?
Thanks!
Tom
