An esoteric mystic draped in talismans. Their sect venerate poison as a sacred gift and means of spiritual purification, and their affinity for it is even stronger than the rest of their kin. By invoking secret rites they can render any venom more potent and spread its touch upon all those around them.

Tips & Tricks

  • The pack of snakes naga ritualists travel with would normally not be too threatening, but that can change quickly if you wind up with your poison resistance removed. Take advantage of the fact that a ritualist's snakes move much faster than it does and separate them to make the fight much easier.
  • High magic resistance will allow you to shrug off Virulence easily enough, but this isn't a necessity unless you're fighting several foes at once. A lone ritualist shouldn't put up too much of a fight, though you may need to rest after the battle until the toxins leave your system.
  • Remember that a single potion of curing will remove all poison from your system, no matter how massive the dose. Failing that, a few shots of Cure Poison will also suffice.
