Cast a spell as a ritual

[Soma!!]

Im playing a druid, i have speack witha nimals, it has the ritual tag but it makes me spend a spell slot evry time i want to use it, yes i know it last until long rest, yes i know the ritual caser feat exists but im a LVL3 druid so i should be able to do ritualcasting as the casters can do ritual cast of hteir ritual spells. So my question is HOW DO I CAST A SPELL AS A RITUAL? If only using ritual cast feat please say so, and i can go give a bad review to this game.

There are only special ritual skills - there is no such a thing to cast "any skill" as ritual skill. Spell slots are important and there are only a few mechanics around them (e.g. refill lvl1 slot on crit (found a bow) / refill once a per long rest - it's a druid special action called "natual recovery charge").

Keep in mind, that you can't cast a ritual during combat; only outside of combat, per the 5e source material rules. Rituals typically take 1 hour to cast without expending the spell slot.

Ritual Tagged spells should automatically be used as such when cast out of combat. There are some exceptions, like Lae'zel's innate Jump spell, however.

Right - and there is that important detail. BG3 isn't doing a good job here showing this. In Solasta it was a lot more clearer as game time progreses on doing rituals.

Rituals add 10 minutes to a spell's casting time. And honestly, it's not that important, since the intended functionality of out-of-combat utility is intact either way.

Okey got it, it shows up as if its going to spend the slot, but it doesnt, i dont get why the UI is so unclear about this

isn't Ritual Caster a Feat?
