We'll be using point buy, with no stat going below 8(unless you give me a good reason for it).

JJ adds +1 wisdom and -1 charisma or -1 intelligence.

I do not care w(h)i(t)ch character sheet you use as long as I can read it. So if you rather have a sheet at Myth Weavers for example, not a problem. In fact, I can read those more easily.




There will be custom spells and potions, none of which will be available to the characters unless they find out about them and learn them in the story.

The events of the computer games will be ignored, as I haven't had a chance to play them and do not expect anyone else to know them either. But some of the things happening in the games will likely show up.

I will use the wiki for keeping track of stuff happening, as it might be confusing at times. Stuff important for your characters like friendships and such not directly related to the plot, are up to you to update though.

As for plot, I do have a background plot in mind, and as such it might happen that the characters will run into stuff a little too dangerous for them, but during the story you'll find ways to deal with this.

The school year will start in Diagon Alley, with everyone picking their wands. You can dice for the wands if you prefer, but if you want to pick wands depending on your char's personalities that's fine, too. I'll add one oddity to your wands which will later link all of you.

You may get all sorts of animals (I disdain the word pet) even if not listed. I do stats for them  different because animals all differ from each other. So if you pick up a pet,you need to find it in DA unless you brought it from home. I'll roll for their stats, so they will have stats like characters except that even when a dog has intelligence 18 it is still only really clever for a dog and won't do your homework or any some such. Same as a toad with strength 18 will only be a really strong toad... you get the picture. This is more for flavor than anything, although an able animal may come in handy.

As an alternative to owls, ravens/crows will also be available as messengers (there was an owl disease a while ago, so ravens came back into fashion). Still no doves allowed though. They get lost too easily. This also means there will now be a raven tower.

We will be using maps of Hogwarts for common reference. I'll later put them in game links.
