1) Prerequisite Substitutions:  If 1B is a prerequisite for any quality, you may choose not to buy the 1B but instead raise the ability score by one or more.<br/><br/>Example:  Animagus requires Magical Expertise 3, 2B Transfiguration.  One could also qualify with Magical Expertise 4, 1B Transfiguration or with Magical Expertise 5.<br/><br/>2) Extra Experience:  PM me with a complete lesson plan for Transfiguration and receive 1 xp if I approve it (I may request other classes later, but this is the only one I need for week 1.  If I receive more than one I will use the second one later).<br/><br/>3) Character Death: If your character dies in game (blatant suicide-esque deaths not counting), your next character starts with all the points the dead character had +1 DP.  It may be possible to give some of those points to your other character, depending on the situation.<br/><br/>4) Advanced Casting: Casting a spell without speaking the words is taught in Hogwarts for more advanced students, but the theory is simple enough that anyone could do it.  Casting a spell without speaking the words grants a -3 penalty to the roll.  Casting without a wand grants a -5 penalty.  The penalties stack, so casting "expelliarmus" without speaking and without a wand would require a roll of 11.<br/><br/>5) Combined Casting: If two or more wizards cast the same spell at the same time, add 1/2 of the weaker affect roll(s) (rounded down) to the stronger/strongest one and use that as the overall affect roll.<br/><br/>Example: Charlie Weasely is trying to stun a small dragon using the stupefy spell, which dragons are very resistant to.  Knowing that he can't do it alone, he gets three other wizards to cast it at the same time.  They hold until all 4 are able to act and roll to hit.  Only 3 of them hit.  They roll a 15, 12, and 11 on their affect rolls.  The total affect roll would be 15 + (12/2) + (11/2), which equals 15 + 6 + 5, for a total of 26, far more than Charlie could have gotten on his own.<br/><br/>6) Dice Rolls: When rolling to beat a DC, write the DC you are aiming for in the comments.
