Below it a tentative writeup for the Ritae ability. Please note that this is tentative, if anyone has any feedback or questions, post them below.
Ritae ability (Sabbat only): While any priest may attempt to hash together the Auctoris Ritae, only masters of the art can successfully perform and of the more complex or powerful Ritae with a sense style and panache.
Attempting to perform a Ritae you do not have the correct level for requires you to make an extra Ritaes test per level of difference. Example: Robert, who has Ritae of 1, can easily perform the Vaulderie for himself and his 3 packmates with just the normal test. However, when attempting to include an extra member he needs to do an extra Ritae's test to pull it off successfully.
