Description
Security blanket provides a large group oriented protective aura. The major advantage to this ritual is that the gp cost remains constant no matter how many group members are present, so a full group of six can be protected with the one blanket. Additionally, the security blanket appears to stack with the effects of major shield, much in the way holy aegis does, which means the caster is protected as well as the caster's group mates. It also appears to stack with holy aegis, so this could form a part of a three-layer defence for a Gufnork priest.
Security blanket is quick to perform, requires only a holy symbol and does not require a huge bonus in faith.rituals.defensive.area, but the high gp cost will limit its utility except in very tough fights or situations where the priest is in a group support role.
The ritual also gives a warning when it is weakening, much in the way major shield does.
While security blanket may only have relatively specialised uses, it allows Gufnork priests to have a greater support role than probably any other priest in a group environment (with the arguable exception of Pishites), and it is probably the most useful application of the "faith.rituals.defensive.area" skill. Depending on what research shows, it may also be worthwhile as an added boost to shields in addition to major shield and holy aegis.
