Character Creation

Link to the adaptation: Here

To create a character, follow the same steps as one normally would:
1.  Choose a House
Choose one of the houses from the adaptation.
Note, this game is set in a Hogwarts that survived the war against Voldermort. The houses have still some of the old rivalries but are bound more tightly than before. Characters can be of any of the four Hogwarts houses in this game, not made to choose a single house. At this time, no Durmstrang of Beauxbaton students will be permitted.

2. Choose a Casting Style
Choose one of the casting styles as detailed in the adaptation.

3. Determine Ability Scores
We will be using the Vairent rules for generating ability points, but instead of having 27 points to buy them. characters have 21. That is enough to purchase 3 scores at 12 and 3 at 11.  While this is an adventure game, having a 16 in strength for an 11-year-old just doesn't make sense to me.

4. Select your wand
Choose (or roll, if you wish) a wand to match your personality as detailed in the adaptation.

5. Select Equipment
Each student brings one trunk filled with clothes, photos of family, school supplies... Each student can bring one item of special significance (though not brooms, sorry, you're first years!).
Each student can also select a pet, but these are treated more like NPCs than usable minions of the characters in combat.

In selecting feats, the list is quite limited in the adaptation. Some of them I've restricted as they would cause a great deal of difficulty for me as HeadMaster.

These feats can only be selected at first level.
  • Giant's Blood
  • Goblin Cunning
  • Metamorph Magic
  • Parseltongue
  • Veela Charm

Other available feats:
  • Aerial Combatant, Wands & Wizards
  • Detecting Traces, Wands & Wizards
  • Lycanthropy, Wands & Wizards, RESTRICTED
  • Martial Artist, Wands & Wizards
  • Occlumency Training, Wands & Wizards
  • Remarkable Aim, Wands & Wizards
  • Steady Caster, Wands & Wizards
  • Vampirism, Wands & Wizards, RESTRICTED
  • Wandless Magic, Wands & Wizards
  • Athlete, Player's Handbook
  • Dungeon Delver, Player's Handbook
  • Durable, Player's Handbook
  • Linguist, Player's Handbook
  • Observant, Player's Handbook
  • Skilled, Player's Handbook
  • Tough, Player's Handbook

♦ Gain advantage on Charisma (Performance) and Charisma (Deception) when using some form of acting.
