New Shop Items

Yesterday we introduced some new shop items to correlate with the recent Lore Drop - cosmetics in the for the ball. Enjoy enchanted barrettes and self-applying make-up. Also, somehow a whole wheel of cheese ended up in the array of uploads and can be found someplace on site.

Other items include:
- Wicks Enchanted Barrettes
- Brandy's Brights Barrettes
- Loxeley's Lucky CosmoPuff
- Croack and Coffey's line of cosmetic self applicators
- Winken, Blinken & Nodd's line of enchanted blinglets!
- Hardanger's Dang Hard (no, we don't make fiddles!)
- Akiko hair styler
- Helga Halfhelm's Squee!

Most of these items can be found someplace in Hogsmeade.

Have fun.

IC Rules

We have a set of IC rules at Hogwarts that could previously be found mixed into the OOC Site Rules (located here). The IC rules have been moved into a separate thread to make them easier to find and to avoid confusion between OOC and IC rules. The new thread for the IC rules is located in the rules forum: here. The rules remain the same, but they may have been reworded and reorganized (eg some rules may be numbered differently or consolidated into one rule).

The following clarifications are being made in the system:

• System rounding has now been added to the rules. If the outcome of a calculation is not an integer, normal rounding rules apply: 1.1–1.4 become 1, and 1.5–1.9 become 2. The only exceptions to this rule are if a player's speed, units moved, or stats are halved, either from taking another action in conjunction with Fly or debuffs from spells and obstacles; in these cases, we round down. Some examples include:
  – normal rounding rules apply to obstacle DC calculations
  – if a player fails the Fog obstacle and has an Accuracy stat of 7, their Accuracy is halved and rounded down (7 becomes 3 from 3.5 rather than 4)
  – if a player is flying at a speed of 5 but also casting a spell, the distance moved would be 5/2 = 2.5 → 2 rather than 3 units. It is important to note that the player would still suffer -4 ACC and EVA from flying at that speed
• Clarifications for the Fly action have been made regarding dual actions (another action used in conjunction with Fly) and halved distances
  
  Reducio

  1. Fly: The most obvious of moves. Your character flies. However you need to declare your speed. Brooms have a maximum speed (measures in units). For speeds over 1, your character suffers a -1 accuracy and evasion that stacks with each additional speed. For instance, if your speed is 3 then your character suffers a -2 to their accuracy and evasion. When only using the action Fly, a spell action may also be taken by the player.
     • Another action can be taken along with Fly, such as casting spells, throwing projectiles, and escaping mazes, but the distance flown would be halved and rounded down. For example, an action of "Fly 6, escape maze" would be an escape roll and, if successful, flying three units.
     • Any race/talent-exclusive actions, such as a Metamorphmagus' Mimic Appearance, Dhampir's Bite, Part-Veela's Scream, etc., will also halve the distance flown by the player.
     • Can still Fly when using the move (if the one being thrown) Alley-Oop. The thrower would remain in their unit, where the one thrown would be launched forward.
• Blatching does involve KOB'ing a player, to which the blatched person will then have to spend a round remounting their broom
  
  Reducio

  Blatching: This is a move where the racer attempts to collide with an opponent and knock them off their broom. Anyone who you share a unit with or pass during this turn is considered a valid target, be it before or after movement.

  • The Math: Accuracy of the blatcher versus Evasion of the target. On a success, the target takes damage (Current Speed x 25) and is KOB. If the blatcher passes a strength roll of 30, then the target takes double fall damage (Current Speed x 50).

  Note:
  - Broom of the blatcher only flies half the distance.
  - Blatching is rolled by the moderator with other attacks before movement is rolled, but the blatch attempt is considered to be in the farthest unit both parties share during the round (Where the blatch occurs is to consider where players would be at the end of the round if the blatch had not occurred. The farthest unit that both parties reach is the unit of the blatch.).
• Alarte Ascendare and Descendo have an extra clause regarding a (rare) scenario where both would be used on the same player in the same spell-casting round. If both are used at the same time, the target will not suffer any damage but will also not move any distance
  
  Reducio

  • Ascension Spell [Support/Attack] [Year 3] [Legal]
    • Incantation: Alarte Ascendare
      Range: 4 units
      Wisdom DC: 15
      Effect: Caster accuracy versus target evasion. Target may choose not to evade. Launches the opponent into the sky, outside of the track. This prevents them from making any progress the round they are hit, however they are now above the track for the next 10 units as they make their way back onto the track. They would not have to avoid or contend with any environmental challenges (except High Wind, Snowfall, and Bright Light) and automatically dodge any physical contact attack such as Blatching and Parkin's Pitcher. While ascended, the races is unable to perform the actions Blatching, Parkin's Pitcher, Save, Alley-Oop, Helping Ally with Obstacle, Retrieve Wand and Using Potions on another player unless both players are ascended. However, they can still be targeted by other players with other actions. Other players have a +1 accuracy against them until they return to the track. This can be cast on oneself but with a +2 critical failure chance. If the ascended player falls off their broom, they will take [40 * broom speed] fall damage.
      Critical Success: This launches a user skyward where they do not make any progress laterally for 2 rounds rather than 1.
      Critical Failure: This attack sends the caster to the ground and takes 25 * the caster's Arcane Power in damage, and need to spend the next round recovering their broom
      Note: Also considered to be an auto-dodge, meaning any other attacks made on this racer (this move takes priority) would not hit the racer as they have automatically dodged those attacks as they were being shot into the sky. Can also be countered with Descendo. If Descendo is used at the same time on the same target as Alarte Ascendare (i.e. in the same spell-casting round), no damage will be dealt and the target will be unable to move horizantally.

  • Descension Spell [Attack] [Year 3] [Legal]
    • Incantation: Descendo
      Range: 4 units
      Wisdom DC: 15
      Effect: Caster accuracy versus target evasion. Launches the opponent towards the ground. The target takes 25 * Arcane Accuracy in damage but would be considered still on their broom.
      Critical Success: they take the same damage but they are considered grounded and would have to spend a round recovering their broom.
      Critical Failure: both the target and the caster are launched skyward and the effect is treated as if Alarte Ascendare has been cast.
      Note: Can also be countered with Alarte Ascendare. This is not considered to be an auto-dodge, in fact in the case of the critical failure any other attacks done on the caster or the target would automatically hit. If Alarte Ascendare is used at the same time on the same target as Descendo (i.e. in the same spell-casting round), no damage will be dealt and the target will be unable to move horizantally.
• Indomitus has been re-worded to clear up any confusion about its effects
  
  Reducio

  • Incantation: Indomitus
    Range: 5 units
    Wisdom DC: 20
    Effect: Accuracy v Evasion to take effect. Caster's accuracy versus target's evasion. On a full hit, a strength check v arcane power to see if the rider is thrown off a contested strength (of the target) versus arcane power (of the caster) roll is made. The broom will buck for 5 rounds, the contested strength versus arcane power roll done each round until the player is either KOB or the spell wears off. The Gripping Charm and Epoximise give the rider a +1 to their attempt strength roll each. Where; the Lubricus charm gives the rider a -2 to their strength roll.
    Critical Success: the duration is 7 rounds.
    Critical Failure: the caster's own broom is effected.
    Note: can be canceled by Finite Incantatem.
• Seer's Prophecy and Parselmouth's Snake Spy have been updated. Players with these special race abilities are no longer required to put the unit they auto-succeed in their first post of the race. The responsibility has been passed to the captains.
  
  Reducio

  • SEER
    • [Year 3] Prophecy. - The future shares many secrets, secrets you are privy to. Select 1 obstacle of hard difficulty or lower to auto-succeed at. These must be clearly declared in your first post of the race, and are not able to be changed at any time. This unit is chosen in the first round of the race and is sent to the moderator. It cannot be changed in future rounds after it has been submitted.
  • PARSELMOUTH
    • [Year 3]Pet Snake: Spy - Your snake spent time searching the track before the race, reporting back to you and giving insight into what obstacles and challenges lie ahead. Select 1 obstacle of hard difficulty or lower to auto-succeed at. These must be clearly declared in your first post of the race, and are not able to be changed at any time. This unit is chosen in the first round of the race and is sent to the moderator. It cannot be changed in future rounds after it has been submitted.

DUELLING SYSTEM UPDATE

There are some changes in our system, some small and some bigger, that we would like to share with you. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and we will answer your questions. You can always ask questions in our FAQ thread and an available captain will be there to answer you.

Mechanics Changes

Number of Rounds Changed
In response to feedback, we are returning the round limit to 10 instead of 8. The hope is that this will expand strategy and opportunities for creativity within duels. The original purpose of reducing the limit to 8 was in order to help captain workload but with the transition to 3v3 duels other captains are free, able to maintain activity and split up the workload as necessary. Duels have returned to a 10 round limit unless a team is KO'd before then.

Strength Damage Reduction Added
In the interest to better use the Strength stat within duelling, we have decided to utilize it for damage reduction. Now for every 3 points in Strength, there is a 5% damage reduction. The hope is that this will provide an alternative defensive option beyond the current meta of high stamina/high evasion dominance and may bring some further use to the body-block option. We hope those few points in Strength will benefit duellists and will monitor this new mechanic to better balance the Strength prerequisite versus benefit.

Abilities Changes

Seer Fate Spinning
The Seer Fate Spinning ability has been reworked in following the changes broom racing made. This should still make the ability useful within a duel while adding more risk in order to balance the number of benefits that Seer gets without nerfing the full build. The addition is a wisdom DC of 15 to utilize the ability and a decrease in wisdom by -2 that lasts the entire duel. The number of uses remains unchanged at 3 and its use must be stated within the actions sent to a moderator.

Reducio

[Year 7] Fate Spinning - Fate spinning is a skill many Seers have which serves as a second chance. In this special move, if a Seer's rolls fails at something, they can use one or more of their three chances to re-roll again and hope for success. This can be used up to three times in a duel. Note, the use of Fate Spinning must be stated by the player when they send their actions. For example: "If I miss with _____ curse, use one instance of fate spinning to try again."A wisdom DC of 15 must be passed to utilize the fate spin and each fate spin causes an decrease in wisdom by -2 that will last the rest of the duel.

iNPC Update

I have updated our iNPC Team so that their titles are more reflective of their goals. The lore is updated with a link to the iNPC schools present headmasters. be on the look-out for updates, changes and engagement from your schools!

Half-Crups

Wexford Half-Crup (30 galleons)

Name: Wexford Half-Crup
Price: 30 Galleons
Description: The original half-crup, this breed is named after Clementine Wexford, the Magizoologist who created the breed. Resembling the classic Jack Russell Terrier, this furry friend is ready to be a beloved companion for many years to come. While other versions of the half-crup exist, this is the only crup presently allowed as a pet at Hogwarts.

Beast Master Ability

Half-Crup: 200 health. Can bite a target at +10 accuracy, causing 40 damage and 10 damage per round (stackable) to a single target per attack. Able to observe on land, useful for finding hidden/lost items or passageways. Unable to communicate findings with owner verbally, but would be able to indicate a location by going to/through it or if small enough retrieving the object. Crups have a good sense of smell and can sometimes track a target to a general area based on scent (25% chance of auto failure), but they will not be able to reveal their hidden location.

Analysis of Index

It is a new year, in an attempt at transparency we are documenting the number of active users on this forum. Below is the number of *sorted* members who have done something on the site, such as lurk or look around in the past 30 days. We have 664 (605 on last review) 'active' users. This does not count unsorted members or deactivated members. We have 5753 sorted (not deactivated) users. Users that never post on this site are pruned automatically after a few months.



The Index Team has completed a full audit of Indexed members. This is members who have registered themselves with Index and have remained active on site in the last 6 months. To remain active they need to post somewhere, anywhere on site. Why does this not go off of log-ins and lurking? Well, two reasons - first being they are not contributing to the community so they are not 'active' so they should not derive the benefit of graduation. Second, we allow for 'hidden' users in privacy settings (so you do not necessarily know when someone has logged in or not). While I know who has been lurking, no other user can and there is no way to be transparent with the userbase and demonstrate that we are being fair to the rest of the community without a papertrail that can be cited.

We have a total of 417 (397 on last check) "active" Indexed users, activity here being defined as posting on site (anywhere) in the past 6 months.

Gryffindor Year 1: 42 Year 2: 19 Year 3: 13 Year 4: 4 Year 5: 7 Year 6: 8 Year 7: 4 Total: 97	Slytherin Year 1: 42 Year 2: 32 Year 3: 12 Year 4: 7 Year 5: 3 Year 6: 10 Year 7: 6 Total: 112
Hufflepuff Year 1: 41 Year 2: 21 Year 3: 12 Year 4: 2 Year 5: 3 Year 6: 11 Year 7: 2 Total: 92	Ravenclaw Year 1: 57 Year 2: 33 Year 3: 7 Year 4: 3 Year 5: 4 Year 6: 11 Year 7: 1 Total: 116

Adults I 22
Adults II 26

For those who have been lurking and have been removed from Index -- to re-register with Index [here]. This will remove the soft-deletion on the Trunk for those that have been removed from Index. Re-registration would involve explaining where you have been and what happened while you were gone and have it make sense. Please note, time does move on for everyone, including users no longer registered. All character will age but those that are not registered with index will not passively graduate to the next school year so for those who remain off of Index for multiple years, there may be a large explanation in order. For those that feel that too much time has passed to salvage their character, most are also able to use the deactivation system found here as long as their account is over 6 months of age.

If anyone notices an account that should be taken off the index registry that has not (been overlooked), feel free to owl me and I will look into it.

This season's patch is mostly aesthetic overhauls so that our system is less convoluted when you read it. However, there are important changes to note as a result of said aesthetic overhauls, such as:

• Spells - this update involved major reformatting and edits to the effects of many spells. There has been clarifications made on what "maintaining a spell" means when it comes to actions as well as ally-to-ally spell-casting.

  Spells in Broom Racing

  There are four categories of spells in Broom Racing: Defense, Support, Environment, and Attack. The following spells are organized by their category. If a spell can fall into multiple categories, it is listed multiple times (in each category it applies to) with identical descriptions. Each spell is [Tagged] with the category, year and class it is taught, and if it is legal or illegal in broom racing. If a spell is not in this post, it currently has no effect in broom racing. Some of the spells in this list may not yet be available to learn.
  
  Some spells can be maintained, which means a user successfully cast it during a previous round, and is now maintaining its cast through multiple rounds. Maintaining a spell is a free action and distance flown while maintaining will not be halved. Some spells can be maintained while another spell is cast. This would result in two Wisdom rolls - one to see if the original spell is maintained, and one to see if the new spell is successfully cast. Maintained spells can be turned off as a free action. In some cases, casting a new spell will automatically end the maintenance of the previous spell - this happens if the maintained spell is not listed to allow casting at the same time.
  
  All spells require a Wisdom Roll that meets the required listed Wisdom DC in order to be cast. This is where a spell could become a Critical Success or Critical Failure. If a player wants to maintain a spell, a Wisdom Roll is done once again and there is still an opportunity for Critical Successes or Failures to occur. After the Wisdom Roll, some spells require a listed Contested Roll to see if the target is hit by the cast spell. Critical Successes and Critical Failures do not apply to Contested Rolls. Contested Rolls are not necessary if a racer is casting on a teammate.
  
  Spells cast on a target that is out of range or immune to the spell still require a Wisdom Roll if the Critical Failure effect has the spell backfiring on the Caster.
  
  Some spells are Illegal. Wisdom Checks are performed to determine if the illegal cast is seen (using the cheating system and all applicable abilities). The Wisdom Check is the average Wisdom DC of every racer + 10. If a racer is caught casting an illegal spell, they can not move the following round.

Example: If you go past an attacker in round 2 and face another attacker in round 4, you have 10% chance to make it past the first attacker and a 20% chance to make it past the second attacker. This stacking chance caps at 50%. This stacking chance resets to 10% when the ability is successful. This roll is performed before any other rolls that might impact success against an attacker (eg Evasive Maneuvers).

This can only be used on a player once per game. If the player also has Healing Sage, this can be used twice per game. If the player also has Paragon of Health, they can bring back two allies at the same time.
  43. Rebound - If the user is attacked with a improvised projectile and is missed there is a 10% chance that the improvised projectile will be automatically rerouted to attack an opponent of the user's choice.

  45. Restricted Defense Against the Dark Arts Section - Spells learned with this ability can be used in the race if they are defined in the spells section.

If the user saves two people and is also using the "return to broom" action, they can only return 1 of their passengers to their broom in that round. The player with this ability must be within 3 units of their ally to use this ability.
  49. Sixth Sense - Immune to charmer ability. The cheating DC for opponents is raised +2. This cannot stack.
  50. Spell Spread - Can cast the same spell on two opponents if the second target is within 1 unit of the first. Accuracy is decreased by -2, wisdom DC is increased by +2, and the critical failure range is increased by +1.
  51. Statistically Relevant - The stats gained in this ability are used in Broom Racing.
  52. Steady Flyer - When facing an obstacle on a broom racing course that is of easy or moderate challenge rating, you have a 10% chance to automatically make it past without having to roll against the obstacle's DCs. If you go through multiple obstacles in one round, your chance to make it past stacks for that round. Example: If you go through an easy obstacle and a moderate obstacle in one round, you have 10% chance to make it past the first obstacle, and a 20% chance to make it past the second obstacle. This stacking chance resets to 10% when the ability is successful and between rounds. This roll is performed before any other rolls that might impact success against an obstacle (eg Evasive Maneuvers). Taking this ability twice will allow this effect to happen with hard and near-impossible challenge rating obstacles too.
  53. Terrible Presence - All other players receive a +1 critical failure chance on spells, 10% auto-miss chance on anything where they target another player (not including the Wisdom rolls for casting spells), and a -10% reduction on damage dealt.
  54. The Martial Artist - The four martial artist moves are able to be used in broom racing, however, they are all considered illegal moves. The cheating wisdom DC is decreased by -2 for these actions.

      - Punch: This is a basic attack that is done at +2 accuracy and the damage done by this attack is [100*(strength)*0.9]/5
      - Grapple: This is a basic attack where you attempt to pin a target. Pinning a target means that you will also not be able to move. This is an accuracy roll to see if it will hit and then a contested strength check between the grappler and the target to maintain. This would be rolled at the start of each round.
      - Kick: This is a basic attack that is done at -2 accuracy and the damage done by this attack is [100*(strength)*1.1]/5
      - Choke Hold: This is a basic attack where you attempt to choke out a target. While they are in this hold a you will also not be able to move. This is an accuracy roll done followed by a strength check. Unlike in a grapple where there is a contested strength roll, in this case you need to be stronger than your opponent. The difference in your strength is the opponent's chance of escape. For instance if your strength is a 3 and your opponent's strength is a 10, you have a 30% chance of escaping this hold. This is done at the start of each round. If you fail your escape attempt twice you are rendered unconscious.
      
      Note: Part-Giants will be able to perform all of these actions with a +1 critical success range if they have this ability.

  55. The Muggle Condition - Rolls through obstacles that require accuracy get a +3, non spell actions requiring an accuracy roll (like blatching) get a +3 accuracy.
  56. Wandless Magic - There is a higher chance of failure for preforming wandless magic, +1 critical chance and the DC of casting the spell is increased by +5. If the player is also casting nonverbally, the spell debuffs stack.
  57. Unfettered Flight - This would allow a player to avoid the debuffs of moving at a faster speed than their broom is actually going when taking extra actions. To explain -- when a racer is taking another action while flying, their move speed is reduced by 50% rounded down; however, they still suffer all of the side effects of moving at the faster speed. This ability makes it so the racer is only suffering the debuffs of the halved speed. So if a user is casting a spell and flying speed 6, they will only suffer the debuffs of speed 3 since that is their actual speed that round.
  58. Wandmaker - The wand only has an effect when it is being used. This means it will not go into effect if the caster is either disarmed or using Wandless Magic. The specific effects depend on the wand's core:

      1. Dragon Heartstring: +3 AP when casting spells, 5% Rebound Chance
      • Wand owner receives +3 on AP when casting spells. This buff is applied before other possible buffs or debuffs.
      • When casting a targeted spell (see Targeting and Accuracy), after a successful Wisdom Check and potential Auto-Fail Checks, another d20 is rolled. If the result is 20, the spell rebounds on the caster, who then takes the full effect.
      • This rebound chance cannot be prevented by the Perfectionist ability.
      • In case of Spell Spread being used with this wand, the entire spell would rebound before it spreads. In case of Auto-split spells, the Rebound roll occurs before the Auto-Split roll.

      2. Phoenix Feather: +2 ACC on spells, 10% chance of casting a random additional spell at your target
      • Wand owner receives +2 Accuracy on spells
      • After a successful Wisdom Check and potential Auto-Fail Checks, an additional d20 is rolled. If the result is 19 or 20, a random Duelling spell is selected from the caster's Trunk. This spell will target the same player who the caster was aiming at with their first spell (even if either of the two are spells that do not require Acc/Eva rolls).
      • The second spell is an auto-success (does not require a Wisdom or Auto-Fail Check), but will have to go through the Targeting and Accuracy phase independent of the first spell.
      • In case the caster is affected by Alluring, the second spell is also redirected towards the new target.
      • In case the first spell does not have a target (or more than one target), the second spell targets a random player apart from the caster (in addition to the original target, if applicable).
      • If the caster uses Spell Spread, only the primary cast (not the spread) has the chance of an additional spell being cast.

      3. Unicorn Tail Hair: -2 crit fail range, 30% chance that dark spells rebound on the caster.
      • The caster's crit fail range is reduced by 2.
      • For any Jinx, Hex, or Curse (refer to our Spell List), after a successful Wisdom Check and potential Auto-Fail Checks, another d20 is rolled. If the result is 15-20, the spell rebounds on the caster, who then takes the full effect.
      • This rebound chance cannot be prevented by the Perfectionist ability.

      4. Veela Hair: This wand is more powerful against one selected target (+2 ACC, +20% damage) and less powerful against everyone else (-2 ACC, -20% damage).
      • When sending in their first action, the wand owner can select one person in the duel to be the grudge target. For the duration of the race, they will receive +2 Accuracy and +20% damage for any spells intended to target the grudge target, and -2 Accuracy and -20% damage for any spells intended to target anyone else.
      • When influenced by Alluring, the intended target changes, so the damage and Accuracy will depend on the new target. In case of critical miss or critical failure, the intended target stays the same, so the damage and Accuracy will depend on the original target.
      • If the wand owner does not define a grudge target, it will be set to the first person the wand owner defines as the target of a damaging or debuffing spell.

      5. Kneazle Whisker: Cannot critically fail spells intended to aid allies.
      • Support or Utility spells intended to help the wand owner's ally cannot critically fail.
      • Damaging, offensive, or binding spells cannot be cast on allies
      • A critical failure on an ally that causes damage or an adverse effect does not count as an offensive or binding spell cast on an ally (so this is not an escape from potential critical failure effects on allied targets).
      • The wand owner does not count as their own ally.

      6. Dittany Stalk: +10% Healing, buffs are stronger (+1)
      • This wand makes healing spells 10% stronger. This stacks additively with other percentile healing buffs such as from Healing Sage.
      • Example: Episkey cast with 10 AP, Healing Sage, and the Dittany Stalk core would heal by 15*10 = 150 + 0.3(150) + 0.1(150) = 210 HP
      • For any buffing spells cast with this wand, the buff gets stronger by 1 stat point.

      7. Kelpie Hair Jinxes +1 crit success and crit failure range and +10% damage
      • Jinxes (refer to our Spell List) cast with this wand have +1 chance to critically fail and succeed. They also do 10% more damage (applied to spell damage and not the effects damage).
      • This stacks additively with the reduced damage from Terrible Presence, so if someone casts a jinx with this wand while affected by Terrible Presence, the buff and debuff would cancel each other out.

      8. Thestral Tail Hair
      • Not applicable.

      9. Coral: Advantage on Counter Spells
      • When casting a Counter spell (refer to our Spell List), two Wisdom Checks will be performed, and the higher one will be used for the spell.
      • Some spells are only Counter spells in some cases (such as Ventus directed at Nebulus, Flipendo directed at Bullarum Immortalem, or similar). For these spells, the second Wisdom Check is performed only when used as a Counter (so when targeting an effect), and not when used to attack a player.

      10. Thunderbird Tail Feather: +2 AP, EVA, ACC while below 30% max health
      • Once the wand owner drops below 30% of their maximum HP, they gain +2 on their Evasion, Arcane Power, and Accuracy rolls.
      • If the wand owner is healed above this threshold, they lose these boni.
      • The change goes into effect the round after they fell below/were healed to or above their 30% health.
      • Example: A player has 600 HP. When they take enough damage to be at 179 or less HP, they gain +2 Eva, AP, Acc starting from the next round. When they have 180 or more HP, these boni do not apply.

      11. Wampus Hair: 5% Auto-Fail chance for opponents
      • Opponents get an Auto-Fail chance before their Wisdom Check to see whether they auto-failed to cast the spell.
      • A d20 is rolled, and the spell fails if it ends on a 20.
      • This stacks additively with other Auto-Fail chances (e.g. from Unsettling Aura), except for Auto-Fail Counters.
      • Example: If someone is affected by Unsettling Aura and this wand, they have a 15% Auto-Fail chance. A d20 would be rolled and the spell fails on 18-20.
      • This does not stack if multiple Wampus Hair wands are present. This cannot break the 20% cap on Auto-Fail chances. See Auto-Fail.

      12. White River Monster Spine: +1 Acc, -2 WDC for all Charms
      • When casting a Charm (refer to our Spell List) with this wand, the spell's WDC is decreased by 2 and the caster receives +1 on their Accuracy roll.

      13. Rougarou Hair: 10% bleeding effect from damage done with dark spells, additional target on crit success dark spells, -10% damage with non-dark spells
      • When a Jinx, Hex, or Curse performed with this wand does damage, the target will suffer 10% of this damage as bleeding damage for the next 4 rounds.
      • If the target is hit by another Jinx, Hex, or Curse from a Rougarou Hair wand during that duration, the bleeding effect is replaced by the new one.
      • The bleeding effect can be countered by Ferula.
      • On critical success cast of a Jinx, Hex, or Curse, the user can target a second, additional player. This additional target has to be defined when sending in their actions.
      • All spells performed with this wand except Jinxes, Hexes, or Curses do 10% less damage. This stacks additively with other effects that make spells do less damage (e.g. Terrible Presence).

      14. Horned Serpent Horn: 5% auto-dodge chance
      • When a spell was successfully cast at the wand owner, a 1d20 roll is performed prior to Accuracy vs Evasion roll to determine whether the spell will be auto-dodged (roll 20). The Accuracy vs Evasion roll will not be needed in case of success.
      • This stacks additively with other auto-dodge chances but cannot break the 20% cap on auto-dodge. See Auto-Dodge.

      15. Snallygaster Heartstring: +1 Acc when ally's health is low
      • When an ally is at < 50% of their maximum HP, the wand owner gains a stacking +1 to their Accuracy for spells cast with the wand.
      • When one such ally is healed back to 50% or more of their maximum HP, the +1 buff is lost.
      • You do not count as your own ally. Once you define someone as the target of a spell detrimental to them, they cannot count as your ally.
      • Stacks to a maximum of +5 accuracy. (Mostly relevant for unofficial duels.)

      16. Jackalope Antler: Heal others up to 10% over their maximum HP
      • Healing spells cast with this wand can heal the target to 10% over their natural maximum HP.
      • If someone is already at 110% of their maximum HP (e.g. due to Paragon of Health), the wand cannot heal them further than this, but can heal them back up to 110% after they have taken damage.

      17. Basilisk Horn: +1 Acc, +10% damage to non-purebloods, cannot buff, heal, or support a non-pureblood if wielded by a pureblood; Hexes and Curses cannot critically fail if wielded by a non-pureblood.
      If wand holder is a pureblood:
      • This wand has +1 accuracy and does 10% more damage (if the spell does damage) to wizards that are not purebloods (applied to spell damage and not the effects damage).
      • This stacks additively with the reduced damage from Terrible Presence, so if this buff applies and the caster is affected by Terrible Presence, the buff and debuff would cancel each other out.
      • This wand cannot heal, be used to buff or cast a counter-spell that favors a non-pureblood.
      • When influenced by Alluring, the intended target changes, so the damage and Accuracy will depend on the new target. In case of critical miss or critical failure, the intended target stays the same, so the damage will depend on the original target. Auto-splits are not intentional so will not profit from the Accuracy or damage buff.
      If wand holder is not a pureblood:
      • Hexes and Curses cast with this wand cannot critically fail (refer to our Spell List).

      18. Curupira Hair: 10% spell redirection chance, 10% auto-hit, +1 critical success and failure range
      • After a successful Wisdom Check for a spell cast with this wand, there is a 10% (1d20, success on 19-20) chance that the wand will change target to a random duellist, excluding the original target and the caster. This is performed after potential Alluring rolls.
      • When a spell is successfully cast with this wand, a 1d20 roll is performed prior to Accuracy vs Evasion roll to determine whether the spell auto-hits (roll 19-20). The Accuracy vs Evasion roll will not be needed in case of success.
      • This stacks additively with other auto-hit chances but cannot break the 20% cap on auto-hit. See Auto-Hit
      • Spells performed with this wand have +1 critical success range and +1 critical failure range.

      19. Troll Whisker +1 Acc, +2 Eva after a Curse is cast
      • When a Curse (refer to our Spell List) is cast in the duel, the owner of this wand gains +1 to their accuracy and +2 to their evasion for the next 3 rounds.
      • If another Curse is cast in the meantime, the duration is replaced with the new one.

• The cooldown and function of Starsweeper XXI's speed-dodge ability has been clarified
  
  Reducio

  Speed-Dodge: The racer can elect to auto-dodge any attack. This is not an action, but an ability. Racers can use any other actions while using this ability. Must be declared in submitted actions to activate.
  
  Note: If an opponent successfully targets the racer with an auto-hit ability or skill, a contested roll is done as if neither ability was being used. If two or more players successfully target the rascer, then one of the attacks will be chosen at random to be dodged. Attempted spells that do not pass their wisdom DC are not counted as a successful attack.
  
  This effect has a 3 round cooldown. (e.g., if they use it in round 1, then they cannot use it again until round 4).
• Further blatching clarifications have been made with regards to units where fall damage would not normally be taken (e.g. the waterfall)
  
  Reducio

  Blatching: This is a move where the racer attempts to collide with an opponent and knock them off their broom. Anyone who you share a unit with or pass during this turn is considered a valid target, be it before or after movement.

  1. The Math: Accuracy of the blatcher versus Evasion of the target. On a success, the target takes damage (Current Speed x 25) and is KOB. If the blatcher passes a strength roll of 30, then the target takes double fall damage (Current Speed x 50).

  Note:
  - Broom of the blatcher only flies half the distance.
  - Blatching is rolled by the moderator with other attacks before movement is rolled, but the blatch attempt is considered to be in the farthest unit both parties share during the round (Where the blatch occurs is to consider where players would be at the end of the round if the blatch had not occurred. The farthest unit that both parties reach is the unit of the latch.).
  - If the player falls in a unit where they would not normally take fall damage (like a waterfall), then they do not take fall damage from blatching.

DUELLING SYSTEM UPDATE

Stage II's patch involves both small and large changes to the sport's mechanics, which you can find below. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and we will answer your questions. You can always ask questions in our FAQ thread and an available captain will be there to answer you.

Mechanics Changes

Forfeit Rules Clarified
After some confusion with regards to forfeiting and how players operate when they want to forfeit, we have revised the rules. We hope this process will be easier to understand and lessen the confusion on expectations when forfeiting.

Should you want to forfeit your duel you must:

• Post at least once in the duel within deadline
• State your wish to forfeit, in agreement with your partner via action owl. Posting is not necessary
• Missing the deadline to post forfeit will be treated as any other failure to post. There will then be a second round in which you can post to forfeit. Missing the deadline again twice means removal from the team.
• You may forfeit at most one duel per school year. Forfeiting a second time within the same championship means removal from the team.

Strength Damage Reduction Removed
After much discussion regarding better use of the Strength stat within duelling, which led to an addition of [Strength Damage Reduction], we have decided to remove damage reduction altogether. While the attempt came with an intent to include a less used stat, it also opened up moderators to a number of unanticipated problems, both as an ability and as a mathematical problem. With how Duelling influences user base for both magical combat in moderated as well as non-moderated scenarios, we hope to make this sport more accessible. After seeing it in use, [Strength Damage Reduction] not only lengthens the process but could have lore breaking implications with time.

What this entails:
The Damage reduction for every 3 points in Strength, providing a 5% damage reduction shall be removed, i.e. spells now cause as much damage as they used to prior to October 2024.

Previously: 5% damage reduction for every 3 points in STR
New Patch: No damage reduction for points in STR
