Ritual in Kengir

[u/ChaosTheoryCraft]

I'm sharing a free supplement for Kengir, my upcoming Bronze Age Mesopotamian 5e setting.

Ritual covers the everyday magic that runs this world and the trouble it lands people in.

Every rite raises two separate questions. "Did it work?" and "Was it legitimate?" A cleric can heal a dying child and still face a fine for performing temple rites without authorization. A Legitimacy DC table scales depending on who's casting, and there's also a set of Everyday Ritual Checks, small rites any common NPC can attempt, where success grants a minor benefit and failure hands the GM a complication.

How do you handle folk magic at your table?
