Adding onto that - if you're looking for a way to show that Aria is studious and reads ahead, etc, you might be interested in the prodigal abilities, which let you gain some spells or potions a year early. They can be found in the list of abilities here

If I decided I want to change my iNPC to be a parselmouth, would I need to explain why he was let into Beauxbatons in the first place? Were parselmouths not previously allowed IC? I’m sorry if this was already explained in the info post, I can’t find it right now for some reason.

If it was anywhere I believe it would be here. I think you might have to explain, or pretend he knew he had the ability over the summer. but I'm not sure, so people please correct me if I'm wrong!

You can't change your existing iNPC to have a talent. IC the schools did not allow special races/talents to attend before the 2024-2025 school year.

What you can do is deactivate your current iNPC and create a new iNPC. That new iNPC would be (in your specific case) a second year during the 2024-2025 school year. This is where explaining how they now go to that school would come in. Did they transfer in? etc But a first year, for example, would not need to explain, because they can say they're going from the beginning.

The exact wording from the announcement that applies here: viewtopic.php?t=1733&p=1050535#p1050535

- Players that are y2 or above with special races will need to explain how they are at the school of choice (such as transferred in) and it would need to make sense. We cannot approve that you were a werewolf going to the school for the last 3 years before they admitted those and "nobody noticed."

From everything that was said and written, I believe if you want to take advantage of the new iNPC rules/changes, you would need to deactivate your current iNPC and activate a new one. You cannot change stats, abilities, talents or races of your current iNPC, at least that is what I am getting.

That is correct, yes. The exception for it being werewolf or dhampir if you find another PC who is willing to turn you.

Ohh got it. Thanks everyone!

Hello! I was part of this month’s top 6 earners (5th to be exact).

From what I understand, us 6 are going to be the fall ball planning committee. How will we communicate and plan in secret? Will there be some forum we can discuss in? Also, I don’t have discord, so I can’t participate in some discord group. Could someone help me?@Solomon Lear

Admin will be adding you and the other five participants to a board (under the Headmasters Office) and you'll be able to discuss stuff there. We will owl you a link and more information as soon as it's all set up, so don't worry about it. There will also be a discord channel for those in the discord but we encourage people to discuss in threads on the site so no one is left out.

We will likely be doing this today but give us a bit of time, in case we're busy with other things. Just look out for the owl
