Harry Potter D20 Heavy 3.5 Varient Help Needed PEACH

[Imbasel]

I like the spells, and will add them to the charms list. I think DC 15 is appropriate for Episkey.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Whats with the 3 times limit? Was that in the books?

Also, we can only know a certain number of spells, but the use is infinite yes?

[Imbasel]

What 3 times limit sorry? Also, yes the number that can be known is a limited amount, but it can be cast an infinite amount.

[Ilriyn]

For Vulnera Sanentura, Snape performed the spell three times, but then said that after that, dittany would be the only thing that could heal it completely. So I'm trying to use that mechanic in game, to insure that healing spells aren't spammed.

[Imbasel]

That makes sense, to me.

[AtlanteanTroll]

I see, but I dont think you understand. Vulnera Sanentur is the anti-curse to Sectumsempra, or is at least for only useful for healing gashes. It's used 3 times, becuase each time it does more. The first time it cause blood to clot, the second it closes the wound, and the third time it removes scars.

Its really a very specific spell.

[Ilriyn]

Quote from Wikia: Vulnera Sanentur is a spell used to heal injuries ranging from minor cuts to deep gashes.

We don't have much info on what types of spells they use at St. Mungo's and the like, but this seems to be the most used healing item/spell apart from dittany. That's why I chose this one to be an all-purpose healing spell.

[AtlanteanTroll]

I present to you, healing spells.

[Ilriyn]

I've written up Episkey and Vulnera Sanentur. Anapneo is used only for choking, Tergo is hardly a healing spell, and I didn't include Brackium Emendo because I thought it was just a fake Lockhart spell. So that might be useful to be written up.

[Imbasel]

Tergo, and Anapneo have already been written and are in the Charms section. Also, how about we limit Vulnera Sanentur to two uses per person per day, as magical healing in Harry Potter still isn't instant, and two uses would probably save somebody's life.

[Ilriyn]

That might be more balanced, but HP clearly has it being used three times for full effect. I'm not sure...

[AtlanteanTroll]

If were doing it that way, I like 3 times/day.

[Imbasel]

Ok let's make it useable 3 times a day.

The site has been updated and the Auror will be on there by the end of today.

The site has been updated and the Auror will be on there by the end of today.

The requirements should include:
- Having performed a spell with a DC of 35 or higher.
- Having created a potion with a DC of 35 or higher.
- Having performed the following spells successfully:

- Expelliarmus
- Expecto Patronum (corporeal)
- Stupefy

EDIT: Also, the new spell creation needs to have a better mechanic...

And a good bit of ranks in Curses and Anti Curses

[Zexion]

And a good bit of ranks in Curses and Anti Curses

Mmm... at least 14 ranks in Anti-Curses, plus 10 ranks in Charms, Curses, Potions, and Knowledge (Herbology).

[Imbasel]

The Auror is up.

[Zexion]

The Auror is up.

How about you add in the ability to cast the requirement spells without a wand with a +5 to the DC instead of a +25, to show the training, because it seems a bit underpowered at the moment. Maybe put a Quickened Casting-type ability in there, too.

[Imbasel]

Like by adding a +10 to the DC you can cast the spell as a free action?

[Zexion]

Yeah. Put that instead of Defensive Spell Mastery.

[Imbasel]

Ok, that sounds cool with me. Also, I don't think a +5 to cast those spells is reasonable, but adding a +10 or +15 does. Otherwise they would basically never, need a wand to do their key spells.

No, the 5+ to the DC is for wandless casting.
The 10+ to the DC is for quickening spells.

[Imbasel]

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I agree with you on the +10 for quickened casting. I think the DC should be at least a +10 for casting without a wand for those spells.

[Zexion]

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I agree with you on the +10 for quickened casting. I think the DC should be at least a +10 for casting without a wand for those spells.

10+ would work for all spells except for Expelliarmus, Expecto Patronum, Protego, Stupefy, and all Anti-Curses. Those would only have a +5 (or possibly no) modifier for wandless casting, because of all of the training.

[Imbasel]

I think that regardless of the training casting spells without a wand is one of the most difficultthings in Harry Potter. I think we should keep the +25 DC modifier for all wandless spells if if your just a wizard/witch. If your an Auror it is only a +10 DC which is a 15 point difference which I think is huge, but its only for the spells that are needed to go into the class.

Sure. Yes. That works.

[Imbasel]

So what does everyone think that I should work on next?

[InfiniteNothing]

Well, you've done one for the side of good, so how about one for the bad guys? Death Eater or Dark Lord would be nice.

[Imbasel]

Ok, I can do the Death Eater. Also, just so that everybody knows not all of the Dark Wizards and Witch's who followed Voldermort were Death Eaters. Only his most trusted and powerful followers were.
