So, I am strongly considering removing the component cost for the disenchant magic item ritual, but I'd like to hear some other DM's oppinions. Here are my arguements on either side: Keep It as-is -the ritual can be used in areas where the economy isn't big enough to buy magic items -the items won't somehow get into the wrong hands -you can disenchant the BBEG's stuff before he comes to try and steal it back from you -it's an insignificant cost at high levels -you can use it in the middle of nowhere (technically not true, because it is implied that you must BUY the magical components, not magically convert gold into them) Remove the component cost -enchant magic item is free (aside from the cost of the item) -residuum is less useful than gold already, so paying to make it is absurd -you still have to learn the ritual, even though there's a seemingly useless component cost strapped onto it -you can use gold the same way as residuum when enchanting items, so adding a cost to the ritual makes it economically unwise to even know the ritual. Thoughts?
