We just got a home inspection today with this problem. There is a possibility for the rafters to separate from the ridge board from hinge action.

Do you need a ridge board?

You will need something that will substitute for the same role as a ridge board. If you are building a structure, you must be able to understand the physics of the structural loads. Think about what role the ridge board plays in the structure of the roof. What would happen if it was gone? The ridge board prevents side to side motion. without a similar structure your roof would collapse sideways.

How to Join ridge boards?

You can form what is known as a "alligator" connection or just but them together and scab a 4-6" board centered over the joint, (glue first on the flat surface) and nail it good. Any splice in the ridge must be supported by a "T" brace to the top of a wall or joist. If you go to a joist it then must be doubled.

How do figure how many rafters it take for a house?

The question must 1st be asked is "what spacing do you plan to use?" Local codes will apply of course. Up North spacing is closer than that of the South because of snow loads. 16 inches on center is a good number to use. You said rafters but I wonder if you meant trusses. Another problem with answering the question is the roof design. For a ranch style house you would simply multiply the length in feet by 3 and then divide that by 4 and add one for the end this will give you the number of trusses you need. For rafters you need to multiply your number by 2 and add 4 for the barge rafters.
