But when it comes to the detailing of these rituals - I'm unsure.
Things that are given numbers are usually given importance as well.
(Sidenote; I always thought it was easier winging it if you had rules
for a situation but DID NOT USE THEM, just thought something like
"what's the probable outcome of this according to rule X?" and "do I
LIKE that outcome?")
On the other hand isn't this a situation where winging can be a very
good method?
I must check out Nils's rules before I say anything else.

Interesting question, which leads to another one:
In game terms, do you have to (among other things) succeed in your
Ceremony skill to get you Worship Deity to work? If it is totally
unrelated, what's then the use of the skill? If it IS dependent,
then boy are we in trouble. (Not to mention all the pissed-off animal
spirits floating around. Few hunters and herders have Butchery and
Ceremony high enough to ensure they won't fail their Peaceful Cut).
This question is perhaps better discussed on the Rules digest, which
means I'll have to actually READ it again. Damn! :-)
(And before any bandwidth is wasted: Yes, I know the rules cannot
exactly emulate the world, but I want them to do it with some modium
of success.)
