Some pursuits just need a certain kind of person....

What I'm suggesting is a new addition to the errands/adventures system where only those that meet the requirement in-character can participate in it. For example, a main-story stint of an intense fact-finding mission about a mysterious dark artifact that shook the whole school could be set-aside to only those that have the right amount of wisdom and stamina. Or a mission to exterminate an infestation of imps on a nearby farming village could be reserved for those with just the right amount of strength/arcane power. This can, of course, go hand-in-hand with the open errands that provide fun and entertainment for all kinds of students.

Not only does it make sense in a worldbuilding perspective for some missions to be easier to achieve for different kinds of people, but it also gives an innate benefit to those characters that choose to balance out their stats all across the board. Presently, those with balanced statistics may be able to join Quidditch/Adventures, but their stats can barely make much of a difference during dice rolls for certain actions like attacks or spellcasting. You'd either have to have high strength, evasion, and accuracy to be decently good at quidditch, or have good enough wisdom, accuracy, and arcpower to be halfway decent at casting spells. Yes, one character might not be exceptional with anything at all because of their spread-out stat points, but they'll be good enough at multiple stats to be able to join a multi-stat requirement mission. A character that maximizes a select few stats over the others might not be able to do the same.

Of course, this proposed system would greatly boost immersion, as well.

This system would provide much more weight to statistical quotients, prompting a tradeoff between being good at quidditch, spellcasting, or doing criteria-based errands. There'll be much more thought put into building one's character through their stats.

(It might also help organizers think up different fun scenarios to subject students to by just mixing a few stat points they'd want to require and going off of that--like, say evasion, accuracy, and stamina could very well be a competitive game of dodge-ball or a scouting mission)

you can already do that.

It should say at the bottom right and top right 11 out of 11 and then arrows to move.

Click on the first 11 and you can delete it an type any number in. Press enter and it takes you to that page.

It just isnt a very easy feature to find

@Ginevra Tsuchiya I think this is already permitted? I only say this, because there are a few characters already whom have different nationalities on their accounts. Myself, for instance, and Ariana Walker are of Argentine descent. Charlie Woodward's an American, though I'll have to double-check his account to be sure the nationality matches up. Additionally, I believe Aurelia Notresvace is Dutch, and Pierre Marchonne is Italian. Is this what you mean?
