persons. The spell allows polygamy. Also, no gender restrictions. You can marry all of your party into one big family, RAW. You may need to check the local laws, though.

By the way, the spell does not allow for divorce - it’s strictly “till death do us part”.

It says you can’t benefit from it again unless widowed. Once someone is they can benefit from it as often as they want.

Also, you could still marry someone else and have them benefit from it again.

I once played a series of all-combat one shots, in which we could use the previous day to precast buffs. Every session we used that day to cast ceremony to make the party a polycule, until the DM banned it.

Which has… consequences

Wouldn’t the entire policule need to be close for them to get the bonus then? That doesn’t sound like the best tactical strategy.

It would generally be better to put them in pair-wise marriages, but when there’s a kaiju on the loose, you can’t wait multiple hours to cast it multiple times.

Does the +2 stack in that case?

No. Benefits from spells of the same name do not stack.

No, the spell is only cast once, for all partners at the same time. “A creature can benefit from this rite again only if widowed”.

Does it stack though? If n people cast ceremony on a party, does that mean they get +2n AC?

EDIT: I read the rules. And completely read over the latter part of your comment. “A creature can benefit from this rite again only if widowed.” 😢

I mean, with resurrection being possible I think divorces would be far less often.

But especially in rich families there would probably be a lot of murdering and resurrecting, just to get out of some forced marriage.
