MET LARP SRD

The Rituals background can only be purchased by an Initiated member of the Sabbat (one who has undergone the Creation Rites). Purchasing this background means that your character is trained in a number of Auctoritas or Ignoblis Ritae. You know the ritae and rituals of the Sabbat, and you can enact many of them. This background is vital to being a pack Priest — without this background, you cannot cast the ritae (though you can still participate, if someone else is officiating).

By purchasing the first dot of Rituals, a character learns four Ritae: the Creation Rites, the Vaulderie, the Monomacy, plus one ritae of your choosing. For every dot of Rituals purchased thereafter, the character can choose to learn an additional two Auctoritas, Ignoblis, or Faction Ritae. Note that Games of Instinct covers an entire spectrum of ritae; a character does not have to purchase each game individually. Performing any ritual requires the practitioner to have faith in that ritual’s innate precept. Remember that Faction Ritae can only be learned and utilized by members of that political faction, unless otherwise noted in the description of the ritus. If a character who has learned a Faction Ritae abandons that faction, she loses the ability to cast that faction’s ritae. She cannot choose another ritae in its place, and any XP she spent on the Rituals background to purchase that specific Faction Ritae is not refunded. To become a pack Priest, a character must purchase at least 1 dot of the Rituals background. A character must have the appropriate Sabbat status trait to initiate one of the Auctoritas Ritae, but any character with the Rituals background may assist in the casting of that ritae, so long as she knows the specific ritus.
