All the sample Rituals have one favorable tide and one hostile tide – the two are almost always opposite – as well as one favorable planet and one hostile planet. Every Leviathan's Rituals are different and not all follow the above system, some work according to principles quite unknown to human occultism and may even include omens unrelated to the sea or stars but for simplicity the sample Rituals use the planets of the Western Zodiac and a system of four tides of our own creation. | All the sample Rituals have one favorable tide and one hostile tide – the two are almost always opposite – as well as one favorable planet and one hostile planet.

However each negative Portent gives a -1. If both positive Portents are true then the dice pool also gets 9again however attempting a Ritual when both negative Portents are true degrades a normal Failure into a Dramatic Failure.

Only the most ignorant or desperate Leviathan need perform a Ritual against a hostile tide. |
