BROOM RACING

Simply put, broom racing is a competition between witches and wizards that can involve many competitors or just two. Major broom races become events with hundreds if not more spectators. It involves a start-point, an end-point and a broomstick. However there is so much more to broom racing than start, go, reach the finish line first. The racetrack is often tricky if not treacherous, some racers play dirty and sometimes it truly is slow and steady that wins (or is the only one to finish) the race. Please refer to the Sports in Hogwarts.io thread for an overview on playing a sport.

Broom Racing Championship

Each house has a team of six racers who compete in a race to the finish line of a map. There are three races in a school year - one in fall, one in winter and one in spring.

A racer who crosses the finish line first wins that race for their house, however, points go towards determining the overall year-long championship. The house with the most points at the end of the year wins the championship. This does mean that, hypothetically, a house can win the championship without winning a single race.

This was implemented to make a broom racing match feel more like teamwork than individual play, and to help every racer have a role of importance (as well as to avoid situations in which three houses can finish in equal first at the end of the season).

The points your team get depends on each racer's end position at the end of the race, which is taken to be the end of the round in which one person from either team crosses the finish line. Points are based upon your position, with the following caveats and exceptions:

1. Knocked Off Broom
   This would apply to a racer if they fell from their broom and did not get back to their broom by the end of the race, including those who are unconscious. Like what happens in real life motorsport, this would qualify as a DNF (did not finish) and you will automatically be placed in the last position. Should multiple racers end the race off of the broom, the racer who got further into the course will be taken to have finished ahead of the other.
2. Shared Placements
   If two racers are in the same place, their points will be averaged and they will receive the same amount. For example, both Tatsu and Fred are in unit 6, and based on their position in the race, they are both in fifth place. The calculation will be the point you will get in fifth place plus the sixth place then divide by two: ( 9 + 7 ) / 2 = 8.

Position	-	Points
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th	-	25 18 14 11 9 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

When racers from two teams cross the finish line in the same round, a contested stamina roll will be used to determine the winner. The winner of the roll will win the race for their team and get the first-place points, and the loser(s) of the roll will get second place.

Broom Racing Mechanics

The track is divided into units for the sake of understanding distance. A speed of 1 for instance covers 1 unit of space. A map may be represented like this:

Starting Line
Unit 1. -
Unit 2. Hard Winds
Unit 3. Easy Winds
Unit 4. -
Unit 5. Moderate Vines
Finish Line

There will be perils as well as opponents to contend with throughout the course. The perils would be clearly defined and they utilize a variety of player statistics.

The following is an example of how a race plays out, including the order of operations that actions are taken into account:

1. Start of the Race - the track is described. The units are defined with obstacles known. The racers are listed. The setting is written with a narrative post.
2. Racers enter the thread - the racers playing enter the thread and all start at the starting line. They will be given a predetermined amount of time to post and submit actions - 120 hours from the time of the moderation post. Any posts or strategies made after this time will not count towards the round.
3. First round is moderated - the moderator will do rolls and take into account the actions submitted, player stats, and the correct order of operations.
   1. Counter-charms and defensive spells are taken to fire instantly and are therefore moderated first.
   2. Support and healing spells or potions take place next.
   3. Spells against the environment are moderated next. This would be spells to damage the ground. To soften the ground. To make the woods more dense, etc.
   4. Spells, potions, and other hostile actions, against one another are next. Please note that there is a range on these spells and potions. This range is determined from the player's starting point for this first round. This would include blatching.
   5. Secondary effects (such as slowness, reduced accuracy or evasion) are applied.
   6. Attacks that require melee range would still occur even if the player is knocked back by another concurrent spell. These are guaranteed actions that occur simultaneously.
   7. Damage from these spells and potions are taken and calculated.
   8. If a wand is taken or they fall off their broom, due to spell effects, this is applied now.
   9. Movement is moderated following the casting of spells. So if a player states that they are moving 3 units, that racer is moved 3 units. Any obstacles in the setting are rolled.
4. Racers will post - the racers playing post again in the thread. They will be given a predetermined amount of time to post and submit actions - 120 hours from the time of the moderation post. Any posts or strategies made after this time will not count towards the round.
5. The next round starts.
   1. A falling player skips the movement stage, they are moving vertically. They can immediately cast a reactionary to prepare themselves for impact. This spell counts as their action for this round.
   2. Other counter-charms and defensive spells take place next.
   3. Support and healing spells or potions take place next.
   4. Spells against the environment are moderated next. This would be spells to damage the ground. To soften the ground. To make the woods more dense, etc.
   5. Spells or potions against one another, and other hostile acts, are next. Please note that there is a range on these spells and potions. This range is determined from the player's stop point for this first round. This includes casting a spell against a grounded target. An opponent might be out of range and unable to cast anymore.
   6. Damage is taken and calculated.
   7. Damage from these spells and potions are taken and calculated.
   8. If a wand is taken or they fall off their broom, due to spell effects, this is applied now.
   9. Movement is moderated following the casting of spells. So if a player states that they are moving 3 units, that racer is moved 3 units. Any obstacles in the setting are rolled.
   10. Spells that specifically target a specific unit (such as when they pass the Whomping Willow they cast a fire-spell) occur as they reach the range of the unit.

This will repeat as many rounds as needed until a player reaches the finish line, at which point the race ends in favor of the first-place player's house, and points are calculated for all players towards the championship.

Sharing A Broom

When two players are sharing a broom, they are considered to be a "Two-Headed Dragon." The pair would share stats and only get 1 action per round (that they must agree on and both must post for). This makes them significantly more powerful due to teamwork, but also dependent on one another and their moves are limited to one move that they must agree on. When attacks/moves are made, the stats of the players sharing the broom are averaged. So, if one user has a 7 and the other has an 11 in evasion for a total of 18, then while sharing the broom, they have an evasion of 9. The riders abilities are shared - so if one of them has fearless, the duo while they are on the shared broom have fearless. However, if they both have the same ability, the buffs/debuffs do not stack. If they both have calming presence, they may only get one roll for an auto-succeed. Stamina is not being averaged - each player maintains their own health pool and is taking half damage from obstacles and attacks as they race together. Each player will fall off the broom individually once they hit 0. If the driver falls, both fall.

There is a risk, IF one of the players fails to post then the action cannot go off. We try to be kind regarding this but please have a back-up plan in mind.

Broom Racing Actions

The below are actions that can be taken in a round of broom racing. When movement is halved from an action, it is rounded down and you still suffer the effects of the full speed you chose. For example if you are flying a speed of 5 but take an action that halves your movement, you would move only 2 units and you would suffer the side-effects of flying speed 5.

When someone falls from their broom they will take fall damage that scales with the speed that they are traveling [25 * current speed]. The damage from the fall can be prevented with the spell spongify being cast on the ground to make your landing softer if you think this is coming as a prepared action.

If a player is currently knocked off their broom [KOB], they may perform spells and actions from the ground. However, they will no longer have the stat increase from their broom.

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.
   
   Characters can also fly backward, with characters still suffering the stacking -1 accuracy and evasion effect per additional speed. Characters will have to re-roll for obstacles in the units they are going through.
   
   Note: Characters who have made a crit success on obstacle rolls gain an advantage roll when travelling backward through these same obstacles.
   • 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.
     • The only exception to this is if you are maintaining a spell, in which case your distance will not be halved.
   • 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.
2. Save: This is where the racer foregoes their track progress and elects to save a falling ally instead. When a player is successfully saved, they would retrieve their broom in the same round and hold onto it for the rest of the race until they return to broom.
   • The player being saved must be within 3 units of your character. This can be at the beginning or the end of the round.
   • This move would be considered a conditional, "If Sara is knocked from her broom Save her." Meaning, if this user is NOT knocked from their broom your character would simply fly the number of units they intended to fly that round. [What is a "conditional"? A conditional is a limited set of moves that can be performed on a "if-then" basis.] This move cannot be used as a conditional in conjunction with any other move. For instance the conditional cannot read "If Sara is knocked from her broom Save her. Otherwise, attack Tom."
   • If you "Saved" them, your position at the start of the next round will be the unit in which you saved them rather than the distance that you intended to fly. That would be the speed you were moving. You might have to avoid some obstacles still.
3. Return to Broom: [Multi-player Move] If two players are sharing a broom (such as after a save) to get both users back to their own broom this action can be used.
   • The Math: There is no math for this. However, there is a broom [Cleansweep 11] that allows this action to be done without using the player's action.
4. Alley-Oop: [Multi-player Move] This is a play where two racers make a wild and dangerous bid for victory. One user uses their strength to spin their ally around, using centrifugal force to fling the ally forward.
   • This requires the full action of both players. They may not perform another action while performing an alley-oop. The thrower may not Fly either.
   • The one being thrown still gets to use the Fly action and needs to declare a speed.
   • Must be within 3 units of the intended player to throw. However, if there is an obstacle or environmental attacker between the thrower and the intended target, and has not been passed, the players MAY NOT use the alley-oop action.
     
     If the thrower is flying a Starsweeper XXI, then they may still use the Fly action and will need to declare a speed. Their speed will be halved as when performing other actions.
   • The Math: The spinner would remain on the unit that they flung their alley forward. Their strength being used to determine the number of units they hurl their ally forward in addition to the speed of their broom. For every 5 strength, the racer flies an additional 1 unit. For every additional unit flung, in addition to the normal accuracy and evasion debuffs they might experience, the flier that is flung forward experiences a stacking 5% auto-fail against getting through obstacles that require an accuracy roll, and stacking 5% auto-fail against anything that requires an evasion roll.
5. 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.).
   - 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.
   - If the target cannot be knocked off their broom (e.g., from a spell), and the blatch is successful, the target will still take some damage (Current Speed x 10). A successful strength roll doubles to (Current Speed x 20).
6. Parkin’s Pincer: [Multi-Player Move] Stolen from Quidditch, this move is named after the original members of the Wigtown Wanderers, who are reputed to have invented it. Two racers close in on an opposing racer, while the third flies towards him or her.
   
   This is treated as a normal blatching. The opponent has disadvantage on their roll to evade. Anyone who you share a unit with or pass during this turn is considered a valid target, before or after movement. The primary blatcher needs to be declared because their stats are necessary for determining the rolls used. Two other racers must assist to use this move. [Accuracy] [Strength]
   
   The Math: There is no fall damage done unlike a normal blatch. The attack itself would be accuracy (on the blatcher) versus evasion (on the target). If hit, the target is knocked from the broom regardless of the amount of health remaining. Note: Broom only flies half the distance for all players involved. The blatch attempt is considered to be the furthest unit both all parties are in during the round.
7. Improvised Projectile: This is the practice of throwing something at an opponent racer. Movement is reduced in half when throwing a projectile. So if moving at a speed of 6 when a throwing something, you only move as many units as you would if you were moving at 3 and you still suffer the side-effects of moving at a speed of 6.
   • Range: The range of the improvised projectile is 3+(1 for each 5 points of strength.) For example, a racer with a strength of 11 will have a range of 5.
   • The Math: A contested accuracy (of attacker) against evasion (of target). On hit 25 * strength in damage.
8. Terrain Damage: This is the practice of damaging the environment for the purpose of making the race more difficult for the racers behind you. This is done by casting certain spells. Must be in the unit that that this spell was cast in during the round it was cast. Movement is reduced in half when casting a spell on your broom. So if moving at a speed of 6 when a spell was cast, you only move as many units as you would if you were moving at 3 and you still suffer the side-effects of moving at a speed of 6.
9. Casting Spells: Similar to terrain damage, only the target is other players. Some spells are considered to be legal but many spells are considered to be illegal and very dangerous. Wisdom Checks are performed to determine if the cast is seen (using the cheating system and all applicable abilities). The Wisdom Check is the average Wisdom DC of every racer + 10. Some spells make it easier to cheat. Movement is reduced in half when casting a spell on your broom. So if moving at a speed of 6 when a spell was cast, you only move as many units as you would if you were moving at 3 and you still suffer the side-effects of moving at a speed of 6.
10. Using Potions: Users can consume/apply a potion during the race. Movement is reduced in half when consuming a potion on your broom. So if moving at a speed of 6 when using a potion, you only move as many units as you would if you were moving at 3 and you still suffer the side-effects of moving at a speed of 6. Note: The user must send the potion item from their inventory to the moderator of the race as it is being "consumed" in this moderated event. The moderator will then send the potion to the Game Master account.
11. Help Ally with Obstacle: If you and an ally occupy the same space at some point during a round, you can use your action that round to aid your ally with one obstacle, or to help free them from an obstacle they are stuck in. This obstacle must be clearly stated (eg “Help Player x with the Thorns Obstacle”). Movement is reduced in half when helping an ally. So if moving at a speed of 6 when performing this action, you only move as many units as you would if you were moving at 3 and you still suffer the side-effects of moving at a speed of 6.
    • This move can only be used in three situations:
      1. An ally is passing through a unit with an obstacle in the same round that you are passing through that obstacle. This action will grant them advantage on their check.
      2. An ally is stuck in an obstacle while you pass through the unit with the obstacle. This will allow them to escape ONLY IF you pass the check yourself. (For example, if an ally is stuck in the maze and trying to escape, you must pass through the maze with a successful DC check in order for your ally to have an auto-success on getting through. However, if you get stuck in the maze during this round, no benefit will be given to the ally you tried to help.)
      3. If you and an ally are both stuck in the same obstacle, you can both use this move to help each other auto-escape. This only applies to obstacles you can get stuck in (eg vines and maze)
12. There are a few actions that can be taken in response to being targeted by a spell, being caught by an obstacle, or attacked. Some of these actions cannot be done while flying at the same time.
    • Remount: Retrieve and remount your broom if you have been knocked off [KOB]. You cannot also fly in the same round, it takes your whole round to find and remount the broom.
    • Remove blindfold: Automatic success. You can fly half movement at the same time.
    • Retrieve wand: Must be done within 3 units of where you dropped your wand. Automatic success. You cannot fly at the same time as it takes your whole round to find and grab the wand, as opposed to using accio which allows you to fly half movement at the same time.
    • Escape maze: Attempt to escape the maze after getting stuck. This requires a successful wisdom check against the maze's DC. If successful, you can fly at half movement in the same round.
    • Escape vines: Attempt to break free from vines after getting stuck. This requires a successful strength check against the vine's DC. If successful, you can fly at half movement in the same round.
    • Escape Devil's Snare: Attempt to identify Devil’s Snare and break free after getting stuck. First, a wisdom check will be made against the Devil's Snare challenge DC to see if you are able to identify that the vines are in fact Devil’s Snare. If successful, you will know to stay still, and the Devil’s Snare will release you unharmed. If the wisdom check is failed, a strength check will be made against the vine's DC. Whether successful or not, you will take damage from a strength check as outlined in the Devil’s Snare description. If you are able to free yourself through either the wisdom or the strength check, you can fly at half movement in the same round.
    • Escape attacker: Attempt to break free from an attacker if it has grabbed you. This requires a successful check defined in the attacker-specific section. If successful, you can fly at half movement in the same round.

Tied Rolls

In the event of tied rolls after player stats are added, a reroll of the actions will be performed, using the new numbers to determine the winner and discarding the tied rolls.

Auto-Success/Fail Rolls

In the event a player has multiple auto-success and auto-fail rolls for one DC or contested roll, auto-success rolls will be completed before auto-fail rolls.

For example, Player A is affected by both an ally's calming presence ability and terrible presence ability when casting a spell. They have a 10% chance to auto-hit and a 10% chance to auto-miss. A d10 is rolled for the auto-hit before rolling a d10 for the auto-miss.

Unless announced otherwise by the moderator when rolls are conducted, standardized proc rolls can be assumed to be in effect. All procs (also known as programmed random occurrences) rolls (unless established otherwise by the moderator) will be enlisted under 1 when using a d10 Tatsu die. Stat-based dice (wisdom checks, strength checks, accuracy checks, etc) will continue to use a d20 Tatsu die.

Spells/Potions/Actions with critical effects will continue to have their critical failures proc at 1, and critical successes proc at 20, unless a racer has any abilities, status effects, or a broom that reduces or increases the range of either critical effect.
Ex. A 10% auto-fail roll will proc on 1, a 10% auto-success roll will proc on 1. A 25% chance roll will proc 1 to 5 (based on a d20 Tatsu die), etc.

Contesting Rolls

If a player targets an ally with a spell that has a contested roll, the captain must explicitly state that the player "will not dodge" the spell. If this is not stated, the moderator will roll as if the target is dodging.

Cheating System

While most moves are allowed in a race, making racing arguably one of the most dangerous sports, some take it a step further. There are several illegal moves that have been deemed too dangerous to use in a race either due to the property damage it may cause or the physical harm that might result from the reckless use or in this case misuse of the spell. That does not mean that cheating does not happen.

Spectators and race officials are scattered throughout the track, monitoring progress. If cheating is noted during a round, the rider's broom would be forced to a halt during the next round for a penalty of 1 round. During this time they cannot take any actions.

Cheating is done off a player's Wisdom, their wisdom plus a roll of 1d20 is required. The DC is the average wisdom score of all of the opponent racers +10.

System Rounding

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

NPC Use in Racing

An NPC can be used:

1. When there's not enough players in one team, in order to make the number of racers equal. Someone from the team should post for themselves and this NPC throughout the whole game.
2. If a racer deactivated or was banned in the middle of the race, they can be replaced by an NPC. A player from that team must post with NPC and their own post throughout the rest of the game.

However, if a player has technical issues and can't access the site and doesn't communicate, an NPC cannot be used.

Voiding An Action

When an action is being voided, it means the moderator has found that the action given by a team's captains via OWL'd strategy is invalid to proceed. This could be for multiple reasons. It could be due to a spell being cast not being in range to its target, a racer is being tasked with two actions at once instead of just one, a spell meant for caster's self being used against a target instead, etc. Voiding an action could also mean a racer missed the posting deadline, and therefore, we void their planned action for the moderating round.

When an action is being voided, it is supposed to be a rare occurrence, a final straw that could cause a serious change of gameplay for both teams at play during a race.

Players and captains should not expect moderators to double-check OWL'd strategies before the deadline. Captains are always responsible for the actions they submit. If a moderator does find an error before the deadline, they may let the captain know, but this is a rare courtesy. In most cases, once the deadline has passed, the moderator will consider if the action needs to be voided; the following questions should help make that decision.

1. Have the deadline passed for strategies to be sent?
2. What is the action, and why is it invalid? Have you double-checked the rules regarding the action being taken?
3. Since the deadline passed, have opinions of other captains been added on the validity of the action? Has a majority been reached promptly?
4. Have you prepared a properly explained reason as to why an action is being voided?
5. Does this action being invalid cause other actions to then become invalid?

That may not be every question a moderator should have answered, but it's the general basis.

The Broom Racing System is one of the more complicated systems to learn and memorize due to its combination of both the Quidditch and the Duelling System. Humans are known to err or misunderstand a rule or two, and when an action is voided, it means that the moderator and fellow captains are not able to conclude a fair solution regarding a racer's action.

This does not count as a player missing a post so long as they did post. It simply means the player does nothing for that round. They do not fly, they do not cast spells, they stay in their current position. Any status effects they experience (ex. bleeding, a spell's debuffs for X amount of rounds, etc) still linger for the next round unless this is the final round for a debuff. If they are given support spells for that round, the spell can cast as normal should it be deemed they are not dodging the spell. If they are being attacked, they will have their stats normally without broom speed debuffs. Keep in mind any stat debuffs (ex. -1 accuracy due to an opposing racer's charmer ability) while doing so.

The Track

The endlessly changing landscape causes every broom race to have a unique track. Each track is filled with a mix of 3 types of challenges, Obstacles, Weather, and Environmental Attackers.

Obstacles

The following are the possible perils one might encounter on a track from the environment. From waterfalls to mazes, forests to Devil's Snare, the landscape doesn't make racing an easy feat. Challenge calculations are under a reducio.

1. Narrow passageways: [Accuracy] The track becomes narrow. Perhaps the cause of an alleyway, a natural stone formation, a covered bridge, etc. A failed accuracy roll will result in damage.
   - Damage Equation: Broom Speed x 10
   Reducio

   • Easy challenge: Average racer accuracy +5
   • Moderate challenge: Average racer accuracy +10
   • Hard challenge: Average racer accuracy +15
   • Near-Impossible challenge: Average racer accuracy +20
2. Trees: [Accuracy] A thick clumping of trees. 3 accuracy rolls are made for this wooded obstacle; auto-fail/auto-success rolls are also rolled thrice. Each failed roll results in damage.
   - Damage Equation: # of trees failed x (Broom Speed x 10)
   Reducio

   • Easy challenge: Average racer accuracy +1
   • Moderate challenge: Average racer accuracy +6
   • Hard challenge: Average racer accuracy +11
   • Near-Impossible challenge: Average racer accuracy +16
3. Thorns: [Accuracy] Prickly pokey thorns threaten to scrape racers who fly by. On a failed accuracy roll, the racer will take damage as well as bleed (HP lost each round, equal to the damage done by the thorns).
   - Damage Equation: (Broom Speed / 100) x Max Health.

   Example: A racer has 1000 health and they were moving at a speed of 3. (3/100) x 1000 = 30 damage

   - Bleed Equation: Racers lose the same amount calculated by the damage equation every round
   Reducio

   • Easy challenge: Average racer accuracy +3
   • Moderate challenge: Average racer accuracy +6
   • Hard challenge: Average racer accuracy +9
   • Near-Impossible challenge: Average racer accuracy +12
4. Vines: [Accuracy] [Strength] A web of vines tries to entangle the racers. On a failed accuracy roll, the vines halt further movement. Racers can free themselves by taking the Escape vines action the following round, or by having an ally use the Help Ally with Obstacle action in the following round. You cannot take actions other than escaping or helping an ally while snared by vines.
   - Escape DC on a failed Roll: Average strength of the players + Challenge modifier (see reducio)

   Example: A moderately difficult vine would be the average strength (rather than accuracy) of the players +5.
   Reducio

   • Easy challenge: Average racer accuracy +0
   • Moderate challenge: Average racer accuracy +5
   • Hard challenge: Average racer accuracy + 10
   • Near-Impossible challenge: Average racer accuracy +15
5. Devil's Snare: [Accuracy] [Wisdom] [Strength] The Devil's Snare is a special type of vine which will tighten and cause damage to the racer if they try to escape using a strength check. Like vines, Devil’s Snare halt further movement on a failed accuracy roll. Racers can free themselves by taking the Escape Devil's Snare action, or by an ally using the Help Ally with Obstacle the following round. You cannot take actions other than escaping, casting Lumos or helping an ally while snared by Devil’s Snare.
   Any light-producing spell will cause the devil's snare to relinquish its grip. In addition, if the racer already has a light-producing spell maintained, the devil's snare would never snare/grip the racer in the first place.
   When using the Escape Devil's Snare action, a wisdom roll is done first to see if the user recognizes the non-damaging way to escape. If it succeeds, the user breaks free with no damage. If the wisdom check is failed, roll using strength as you do for the vines obstacle. Damage is taken when using strength to escape.
   - Damage Equation: (Player's Strength Stat +Their strength roll) x 10
   Reducio

   • Easy challenge: Average racer accuracy/wisdom/strength (depending on the roll) +0
   • Moderate challenge: Average racer accuracy/wisdom/strength (depending on the roll) +5

Environmental Attackers

Flora and fauna lurk along the track, and don’t take too kindly to children flying through their homes at high speeds. These animals or plants sometimes be avoided, but once agitated, they can be very dangerous.

1. Whomping Willow [Strength]
   
   Reducio

   The infamous Whomping Willow stands tall and strong, a formidable opponent for any racer. Its spindly branches and thick trunk allow for easy pickings of athletes, and make it an enduring challenge for races.
   
   Stats: EVA 7
   Attacks:

   - Bludgeon
   The Whomping Willow will attempt to attack every racer that passes it (with exceptions mentioned in NOTES). Racers must succeed an a DC 25 evasion roll to avoid the willow. On a failed roll, the racer takes 100 damage, and has a 25% chance of triggering the Grab attack.

   - Grab
   A racer can only be grabbed by the Whomping Willow if the Bludgeon attack triggers it. When grabbed, the tree will bash the racer against the ground for 100 damage until the racer can free themselves. Racers can escape the clutches of the willow once they succeed a strength check of 25.

   Notes:
   - Racing past the Whomping Willow at a Speed of 4 or more as well as not starting or ending your turn in the unit with the Whomping Willow and the Whomping Willow will not attack.
   - If set on fire, the tree will frenzy, doing double damage and attacking those passing twice with its Bludgeon attack.
2. Boggart [Wisdom]
   
   Reducio

   These shape-shifting creatures take on the form of a racer's worst nightmare. A racer with a calm mind will prove unappealing to the amortal boggart, but if you find yourself panicking, watch out. you might find your worst fear feeding on your terror.
   
   Stats: N/A
   Attacks:

   - Frozen in Fear
   The Boggart will attempt to attack each racer that passes it until the Worst Nightmare attack is triggered. Racers must succeed a wisdom roll of 25 to avoid this attack. If failed, the racer is under the FEAR effect, suffers a -2 to both wisdom and accuracy until the effect is lifted, and any additional movement is halted for the rest of the round.
   The following round, the Worst Nightmare attack is triggered.

   - Worst Nightmare
   This attack is only triggered once a racer has already experienced the attack Frozen in Fear. The racer under the FEAR effect flies backward 2 units. The Boggart chases the racer, moving through the same units as them at the same speed.
   The racer may take other actions while under the FEAR effect, but can not cast spells other than Riddikulus. Taking additional actions will not half the racer's speed while under the FEAR effect, they will always fly backwards 2 units. Obstacles, weather, and environmental attackers are not rolled when flying backwards.
   The FEAR effect is ended when one of the following criteria is met:

   - The racer succeeds a wisdom roll of 25, rolled at the end of the round
   - A successful cast of the Riddikulus spell
   - 3 rounds have passed where the user has been under the FEAR effect

   No matter how the FEAR effect ends, the Boggart will remain in whatever unit it is in, and racers are once again vulnerable to the Frozen in Fear attack.

   Notes:
   - The Boggart's location is not made public until triggered, but its presence must be clearly stated at the beginning of a race. The location of the Boggart differs from race to race, even in the same season. For transparency, the location of the Boggart is shared by each moderator to either a Head of House or the Flying Professor.
   - If multiple racers enter the unit with the Boggart at the same time and both fail the wisdom roll for Worst Nightmare, the target is determined at random between them.
   - The Riddikulus spell serves as a counter for the FEAR effect. Casting it will end whatever attack the Boggart is making to the current target. At the beginning of the next round, all other racers are once again vulnerable to the Frozen in Fear attack.
   - A racer can not be targeted by the Boggart twice in a row.
   - Those with the ability fearless are immune to all Boggart attacks.
3. Vampyr Mosp [Evasion]
   
   Reducio

   Vampyr Mosps, large insects with incredible speed, inhabit open fields and wooded areas. The nasty buggers are agitated by the presence of lights, flowers, and disturbances in their habitat.

   - Is caught in the Vines obstacle
   - Is KOB in a unit with Trees
   - Casts the Herbivicus or Orchideous charm
   - Casts Lumos

   Once triggered, the Vampyr Mosp flies toward the unit where the trigger occurred.
   The Vampyr Mosp will attempt to sting every racer it passes as it flies to the unit where the attack was triggered. Racers must succeed on a DC 25 evasion roll to avoid the attack. On a failed roll, the racer takes 100 damage.
   If the Vampyr Mosp reaches the unit where the trigger occurred, it will automatically attack the racer who triggered the attack, no roll required.
   Once the Vampyr Mosp successfully Stings a racer, it remains in its current unit until the Sting attack is triggered again.

   Notes:
   - If two racers in the same unit fail against the Sting attack, the target is chosen at random. All racers in a unit must be rolled for before determining the target of the attack.
   - If the Vampyr Mosp reaches the unit where the trigger occurred, it will not attack anyone other than the racer who triggered the Stingattack.
4. Bundimun [Wisdom] [Evasion]
   
   Reducio

   Bundimun blend in with their surroundings, resembling harmless green fungus or moss more than a dangerous plant. The secretions of the Bundimun are extremely acidic and can rot building structures, and a large enough infestation could cause a building to collapse. Perfectly safe for racing!
   
   Stats: N/A
   Attacks:

   - Spit
   The Bundimun will attempt to attack every racer that passes it. Racers must succeed a DC 20 Wisdom roll to notice the Bundimun. On a success, the racer rolls with advantage (rolling twice and taking the higher roll) on the following Evasion roll.

They also suffer from the corrosive effect, and will take 50 damage per round for the following 6 rounds. The corrosive effect can be ended early with a successful cast of Scourgify, Aguamenti, or Tergeo, or by passing through a Waterfall obstacle.

   Notes:
   - Casting Scourgify on the Bundimun will remove it for the remainder of the race.
5. Chizpurfle Colony [Arcane Power]
   
   Reducio

   These small parasites pass as simple crabs on first glance. But beware, these fanged creatures are attracted to magic, cauldrons and spells, and would like to eat your wand for lunch. Chizpurfle Colonies take up 2 adjoining units.
   
   Stats: EVA 7
   Attacks:

   - Eat
   Chizpurfle Colonies will attempt to attack every racer that casts a spell in one of their units. If a racer casts a spell in a Chizpurfle Colony unit, no matter the outcome of the spell, they must make an Arcane Power roll. If the result is higher than 25, the Chizpurfle Colony will attack the racer's wand, gnawing away at the wood. As a result, the affected racer is unable to cast spells for the following 2 rounds as they remove the parasites from their wand.

   Notes:
   - The Chizpurfle Colony attacker takes up 2 adjoining units.
   - Racers with auto-evasion will roll their auto-evasion chance against the Eat attack.
   - Casting Scourgify or Tergeo on the colony can remove 1 unit of the Chizpurfle Colony.
6. Cockatrice [Wisdom] [Evasion]
   
   Reducio

   Stats: STA 12
   Attacks:

   - Stare Down
   The Cockatrice will attempt to Stare Down every racer that passes it. Racers roll Wisdom.
   On a roll over 25, the racer is not targeted by the Stare Down attack, however, they trigger the Fire Breath attack.
   On a roll under 25, the racer looks into the eyes of the Cockatrice. The paralyzing gaze of the creature causes the racer to automatically fail the next obstacle. The racer also suffers the SLOWNESS effect, giving them -2 Accuracy, -2 Evasion, and -4 strength for the remainder of the current round, as well as the following 2 rounds. The effect can be ended early with a successful casting of Reparifors.

   - Fire Breath
   This attack is triggered by a Wisdom roll of 25 or greater in the Stare Down attack. Racers must succeed an a DC 25 evasion roll to avoid the fire. On a failed roll, the racer takes 125 damage, and suffers the SEAR effect for the remainder of the race. The SEAR effect causes the racer to take 10% more damage from any attack, obstacle, etc. This stacks with any other damage debuff the racer is under. The effect can be ended with a successful casting of Reparifors.

   Notes:
   - Racers already affected by the Obscuro Charm are immune to the attacks of the Cockatrice.
   - Both the SLOWNESS and SEAR effects can be ended early with a successful cast of Reparifors.
7. Doxies [Wisdom] [Evasion]
   
   Reducio

   Often mistaken for fairies, these pests are a menace to wizards everywhere. They travel in swarms of 3. With sharp teeth, bulging eyes and a layer of black hair, the nicknamed "Biting Fairy" thinks you look like a tasty snack.
   
   Stats: STA 1 | EVA 9
   Attacks:

   - Bite

   Doxies will attempt to attack every racer that passes them. Racers must succeed a DC 20 Evasion roll per Doxy. On each failed roll, the racer takes 25 damage and suffers a stacking -1 Stamina. This requires a re-calculation of the racer's maximum health. If a racer's stamina equals 0, or the new maximum health is lower than the racer's remaining health, they are rendered unconscious.

   Notes:
   - If multiple racers enter a unit with Doxies at the same time, and both fail the roll for the Bite attack, the target is determined at random between them.
   - The effects of Bite can be removed with a successful cast of Episkey.
   - 1 Doxy can be removed from the race with a successful cast of the Knockback Jinx. Racers have advantage on the Accuracy roll to attack a Doxy with this spell.
   - Racers can only target one Doxy at a time unless they have the Spell Spread ability.
   - Removing or immobilizing a Doxy will lower all Doxy DCs by 3 per Doxy taken out.
8. Fire-Breathing Chicken [Evasion]
   
   Reducio

   Fire-breathing chickens are a magical breed of chicken that possess the ability to breathe fire, very similar to dragons. Maybe not ideal for nuggets.
   
   Stats: STA 4 | EVA 5
   Attacks:

   - Fire Breath

   The Fire-Breathing Chicken will attempt to attack every racer that casts a spell in its unit. Racers must succeed a DC 20 Evasion roll to avoid the attack.

   Reducio

   These small, luminescent, magical worms are sometimes found in lightbulbs. They are not harmful. They can occasionally be found in wooded areas, and make their surroundings a bit brighter.
   
   Stats: N/A
   Attacks:

   - Light Support
   In units where Glow Bugs are present, the DC check for that obstacle are bumped down a challenge level. For example, a medium challenge obstacle will now have a DC check of an easy challenge. This only works for medium, hard, and near-impossible challenges.

   Note:
   - If a spell is cast in that unit, the Glow Bugs will die, and the DC will no longer be lowered.
10. Swooping Evil [Evasion]
    
    Reducio

    Living in wooded areas, the Swooping Evil appears to be an extremely large butterfly with a wolf-like skull instead of an ordinary head. It shrinks into a green, spiny cocoon but hides spiked wings in this form. It is lethal in both forms and it is an encephalophage — it feeds on people's brains.
    
    Stats: STA 8 | EVA 10 | ACC 10
    Attacks:

    - Spiky Wings
    If the racer fails at least 1 tree, the Swooping Evil uses its Spiky Wings to cause the racer to bleed, causing the racer to lose the same amount of damage taken by the tree obstacle at the beginning of every round. Bleeding can be nullified with the Ferula charm. If the racer fails more than one tree, they also trigger the Bite attack.

    - Bite
    For each additional tree (above 1) that a racer fails, the Swooping Evil will attempt to bite (ACC vs EVA) when provoked, and the venom from the bite leaves the racer foggy-headed. The bite does 25 HP damage, and gives the racer 10% chance to fly in the wrong direction for the duration of the race. This can stack. There is also a 50% non-stackable damage reduction on spells. Damage from physical attacks (such as projectiles) are not reduced.

    Notes:
    - If there is any damage reduction due to abilities or other effects (e.g. Terrible Presence), the higher reduction overrides all the others; only one percentage used for reduction.
11. Wrackspurts [Wisdom]
    
    Reducio

    Wrackspurts are invisible creatures that float in through your ears and make your brain go fuzzy. If caught by these creatures, you are likely to experience some mild forgetfulness the next day.
    
    Stats: N/A
    Attacks:

    - Fuzzy Brained

    Wrackspurts will attempt to attack every racer that passes through their unit. Racers must succeed a DC 20 Wisdom roll to notice these creatures. On a success, racers are able to [passively] swat away the Wrackspurts, suffering no effect. On a failed roll, the Wrackspurts are not noticed, and the racer suffers a 10% chance to auto-fail all spell Wisdom rolls for the duration of the race. This does not stack.

12. Giant Squid [Evasion] [Strength]
    
    Reducio

    A large Herman creature that lurks beneath the surface of the Great Lake. While it is often described as one of the most dangerous creatures on Hogwarts grounds, it's actually partially domesticated. And so, of course, we enrage it for broom racing purposes.
    
    Stats STA 20 | EVA 10 | STR 15 | ACC 10
    Attacks

    - Grab
    The Giant Squid will attempt to attack the first four racers that pass either of its units every round. , grabbing them with its tentacles and attempting to pull them into the water. Racers must succeed an a DC 25 evasion roll to avoid the squid. On a failed roll, the racer is grabbed by the squid and triggers the Sucker Punch attack the following round.

    - Sucker Punch
    This attack is only triggered if a racer has experienced the attack Grab the previous round. The racer may not take any actions other than the Escape Attacker action. When taking this action, racers must succeed a Strength roll of 15 to escape the slippery grasp of the tentacles. On a success, they have escaped, and are able to fly at half speed if one was declared in their action. On a failed roll, the racer is dragged into the water and has to spend the rest of the round swimming back to shore with their broom.

    Notes:
    - The Giant Squid can not actively attack more than 4 racers at a time. Once the squid is occupied with 4 players, any new racer entering its units can pass by undisturbed.
    - The Squid can be immobilized, frozen, or attacked with the following spells. However, once the spell's effects are over, the Giant Squid becomes aggravated and is able to attack 8 racers instead of 4.

    Wind Jinx WDC 13, Range: 5 units
    Caster ARC vs. Squid STR
    If hit, all the squid's tentacles are pushed into the water for that round. Any player can fly through safely without an evasion check. However, any players currently caught in those tentacles will fall into the water and must spend the next round swimming to shore to return to their broom.

13. Pixies [Evasion] [Strength]
    
    Reducio

    Pixies are similar to Doxies but revel in mischief instead of pain. They tend to travel in groups of five to ten. For every 5 pixies, 1 racer is targeted. Unless you've got some mighty grip, you're going to lose something against these pests.
    
    Stats: STA 5 | EVA 15
    Attacks:

    - Pesky

    Pixies will attempt to attack every racer that passes them. For each racer that passes through a unit with Pixies, they will either attempt the Wand Grab or Broom Grab attack, decided at random.

    - Wand Grab

    Triggered when rolled by the Pesky attack. The swarm of Pixies will attempt to snatch your wand from your grip. Racers must succeed a DC 15 Evasion roll. On a failed roll, their wand is taken, and they are unable to cast spells (with the exception of racers with Wandless Magic). To get it back, racers must take the action Retrieve wand.

    - Broom Grab

    Triggered when rolled by the Pesky attack. The swarm of pixies will attempt to snatch your broom from under you. Racers must succeed a DC 15 Strength roll. On a failed roll, the racer's broom has been taken, and they are KOB. To continue flying, racers must take the action Remount.

    Reducio

    Generally found along the coastlines in Europe, Mackled Malaclaws resemble lobsters. They have light grey skin with green spots, are about a foot in length, and are generally non-violent. However, Malaclaws will bite any intruders that disturb their habitat, and their bite makes their victims incredibly unlucky.
    
    Stats: N/A
    Attacks:

    - Malaluck Bite
    The Mackled Malacla will attempt to attack every racer that passes it. Racers must succeed a DC 15 Wisdom roll. On a failure, the Malaclaw is disturbed, and will attempt to bite. Racers must then succeed a DC 20 Evasion roll. On a failure, the player is bitten, and has a non-stacking 25% auto-fail chance for every roll for the remainder of the race.

15. Ashwinder Eggs [Wisdom] [Evasion]
    
    Reducio

    Ashwinders are snake-like creatures that lay dangerous eggs. These eggs resemble large embers, and will burst into flame at the slightest breeze if not frozen. A slight breeze caused by a zooming racer, one might day.
    
    Stats: N/A
    Attacks:
    

    - Burn

    This attack is triggered the first time a racer enters a unit with Ashwinder Eggs. Racers must succeed a DC 20 Wisdom roll. On a success, the racer is able to nullify the effect of the eggs. If the racer has the Snowflake-Creating Spell in their trunk and is able to cast spells, they passively and automatically successfully cast the spell. On a failed roll, the unit is set on fire, and every racer who passes through this unit (including the racer who triggered the attack) takes 200 damage.

    Notes:
    - If the racer is unable to cast the Snowflake-Creating Spellspell, their roll is automatically a failure.
    - A unit on fire can be put out with a successful cast of Aguamenti or Extinguo.
16. Swarm of Pigeons [Evasion]
    
    Reducio

    Although more commonly found in big cities, a flock of pigeons has taken up residence at Hogwarts. Hopefully what they say about being pooped on by a bird is good luck is true.
    
    Stats: N/A
    Attacks:

    - Pooped
    The Swarm of Pigeons will attempt to attack every player that passes through their unit. The Swarm of Pigeons can successfully attack no more than two players per round. Racers must succeed on a DC 18 Evasion roll. On a failure, the pidgeons become distressed, and will poop on the racer. One of the two effects will be chosen at random:

    - Eyes: The poop gets into the racer's eyes, giving them disadvantage on all accuracy, evasion, and wisdom rolls until it is removed.

    - Body: The racer's body is splattered with poop, and they take 50 damage. Additionally, their teammates are so grossed out, that they are not able to help this player through any actions, and will not receive help from this player through actions (Help Ally With Obstacle, Alley-Oop, Support spells, etc), until the poop is removed.

    Notes:
    - The poop can be removed by a successful cast of Scourgify, Aguamenti, or by flying through a waterfall.
    - If more than 2 racers enter the unit with the Swarm of Pigeons at the same time and all fail the Evasion roll for Poopy, the target is determined at random between them.
    
17. Screechsnap [Wisdom] [Strength]
    
    Reducio

    Often a harmless albeit annoying little plant, the screechsnap makes a high-pitched "scream." Unfortunately the ones who have a found a home near the flying grounds have started to mimic the sound of a whistle. Turns out they are flawless mimics.
    
    Stats: STR 10
    Attacks

    - Lure
    Any racers passing through a unit containing a Screechsnap must pass a DC 20 wisdom roll or be confused by the Screechsnaps scream. On a failed roll any further movement is halted and the racer won't be able to use the fly action the following round.

    - Ensnare
    If a racer is KOB in an unit with a Screechsnap in it, the Screechsnap will attempt to ensnare the racer using it’s roots (Screechsnap str VS targets eva). If the racer is ensnared they cannot use the return to broom action and other racers will have disadvantage on their accuracy roll when targetting the ensnared racer.
    To escape the racer must use an action to succeed on a DC 15 strength roll. If multiple racers are KOB in this unit a random target will be chosen.

    Notes
    - If the unit containing the Screechsnap is set on fire, the screechsnap will immediately die, along with inflicting burn damage and the percentage roll (30% chance) for being set on fire by those passing this unit.
18. Bowtruckles [Evasion]
    
    Reducio

    Who knew that even plants can be dangerous to one's health? Typically docile and peaceful, but willing to gouge the eyes of its foes who dare threaten its home. They can be found in unusual trees, and blend perfectly in their natural environment. Highly evasive to charms.
    
    Stats: EVA 20
    Attacks:

    - Gouge
    All racers who pass by a Bowtruckle infested tree unit will have to roll and exceed an Evasion roll of 15 to escape its eyes gouging attack. This attack causes blindness (works like Obscuro; 0 (zero) evasion and 0 (zero) accuracy) and bleeding when the roll fails. Bleeding can be nullified with the Ferula and Episkey charms. Blindness can be nullified with the Episkey charm. Bleeding damage is the same as thorns: (Broom Speed / 100) x Max Health. Those with blindvision are immune to the blindness, but can still experience bleeding.

    Notes:
    - Bowtruckles are only rolled once per racer instead of each tree the racer comes into contact with. Bowtruckles must be rolled for only if a racer have failed any trees in the unit the Bowtruckles reside in. If more than one racer reaches this unit and have failed any trees, Tatsu is given the choice between which racers should be targeted.
    - If the Bowtruckle infested tree unit is set on fire, the bowtruckles will immediately die and tree rolls are conducted as normal, along with inflicting burn damage and the percentage roll (30% chance) on being set on fire by those passing this unit.

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.

Magical Races/Talents and Special Abilities in Broom Racing

This post explains which magical races/talents and special abilities have effects in Broom Racing and how their mechanics would work with the Broom Racing Mechanics.

Magical Races/Talents

• DHAMPIR
  • [Year 1] Sunlight Sensitivity - They have a -1 evasion against any light-based spells or attacks. Included Spells:
    
    Reducio

    - Verdimillious
    - Periculum
    - Lumos
    - Nox
    - Caeruleus Inflamarae
    - Incendio
    - Incendio Duo
    - Lumos Duo
    - Lumos Maxima
  • [Year 1] Dhampir actions -
    • Bite - A bite attack is basically an attack with their mouth where the Dhampir sinks their teeth into their opponent. This does not have to be the neck, despite the fact that this is a common depiction of this act. This is an ILLEGAL move in the race. [Accuracy] [Strength]
      1. The Math: A bite requires an accuracy roll against an opponent's evasion. The damage done by the bite is equal to their strength score. The Dhampir also gains 25% (rounded down) health back from their bite. They cannot exceed their maximum health via bite. The bite does 50 + (strength score * 10) damage.
    • Claw - The fingernails of a dhampir reflect the claws of a vampire and the rounded fingernails of a human. They grow faster than the average human and are more pointed. They are not sharp, coming to dull points. They are also far more deeply rooted than a normal fingernail, and far stronger. [Accuracy] [Strength]
      1. The Math:The dhampir digs their claws into a target using their accuracy against their opponent's evasion. The target will continue to bleed from the deep wounds the dhampir inflicts with their dull claws, losing an additional 5% of the total damage done by the attack each round for 4 rounds. The claw does 60 + (strength score * 10) damage.
  • [Year 1] Magical Menace - This affects only spells being cast by the dhampir, so the user has -1 accuracy and +1 critical fail chance when casting spells.
  • [Year 3] Unsettling Aura - This is represented as a 10% auto-fail rate for anyone besides the Dhampir (or other Dhampirs) to perform an action that targets another player or cast a spell. Unsettling Aura affects everyone on the track with the dhampir during the game (friend or foe) unless the user has the Fearless ability, is a fellow Dhampir, or is the user themselves. It is notable that a Dhampir can turn off their Dhampir's Unsettling Aura, but they must state they are doing so. Otherwise, this ability would be considered "on". This stacks with Terrible Presence. In addition, a dhampir can turn off their Terrible Presence if they have taken the ability.
  • [Year 5] Heightened Sense of Smell - Can see through a metamorph's mimic appearance if you are familiar with the user or the target of the transformation.
  • [Year 7] Blood Resurrection - N/A
• WEREWOLF
  • [Year 1] Werewolf Form: Bite and Rend - N/A
  • [Year 1] Heightened Sense of Smell - You are able to see through a metamorph's mimic appearance or the target of a transformation.
    Note: This can be used as a counter against users of the polyjuice potion, metamorphmagi that appear to be someone else, and charms that can be used to change one's appearance.
  • [Year 3] Tracking - The werewolf can track its prey. At the start of a race, the werewolf can declare an opponent racer to track in their first post. When tracked, the werewolf has an accuracy increase of +2 against the opponent they have listed. If the werewolf wishes to change their tracked opponent, they may use an action to change their target.
  • [Year 5] Wolf's Cry - N/A
  • [Year 5] Wolf's Grace -As a human, a werewolf's predatory abilities become stronger. Opponents are more noticeable to a werewolf, and they find it easier to prepare for the upcoming danger. Werewolves have a +2 evasion against environmental attackers.
  • [Year 7] Intimidation - Intimidation affects everyone on track, regardless of range. When in effect, there is a -1 accuracy and a +1 critical failure chance for all those on track (friend or foe).
• METAMORPHMAGUS
  • [Year 1] Minor Appearance Shift -N/A
  • [Year 1] Skilled Transfigurer - If a metamorph chooses to cast a Transfiguration spell, the DC of that spell will be lowered by 5. Included Spells:
    
    Reducio

    - Bullarum Immortalem
    - Incendio
    - Fumos
    - Obscuro
    - Incendio Duo
    - Ferula
    - Nec Divinos Crepitus
    - Nebulus
    - Aguamenti
    - Aqua Eructo
    - Bat Bogey Hex
  • [Year 3] Mimic Appearance. -
    As an action, a metamorphmagus may take on the appearance of another student in the race, and then attempt to fly in patterns to confuse the other players as to which is which. Racers will suffer a -1 accuracy while they are using this ability.
    There is a 50% chance that the opposing racers will become confused and target the wrong racer. For instance, if Tom changes himself to look like Sally, then enemy attacks aimed at Sally have a 50% chance of targeting Tom instead. This only applies to actions done by the opposing team. Certain races with keen senses of smell might be able to see through this duplicity.
    Racers may choose to revert back to their original form as a free action. Otherwise, this change will last until the metamorph is hit by an enemy spell or attack.
  • [Year 7] Major Appearance Shift. - A master of disguise and stealth, metamorphmagi are able to change their appearance to stand out less in their surroundings.
    Metamorphmagi gain a new action; camouflage.
    As an action, metamorphmagi can alter their appearance to be less noticeable in their surroundings (growing bumps to resemble rocky surfaces, changing hair color to match the hue of the forest, etc). Metamorphs gain a 50% auto-dodge against any attacks, spells (including ally spells), and environmental attackers for 2 rounds, or until they are hit successfully with an attack.
• PART-GIANT
  • [Year 1] Unskilled Caster - As Part-Giants are not skilled spellcasters, the chance to critically fail any check for a spell will be increased to a 15% chance.
  • [Year 1] Physical Damage: +30%. Damage Reduction: 20%. - Part-giants perform an additional +30% damage with their physical attacks (anything that requires strength). Damage reduction basically means that giants take less damage from magical and physical sources. (So if they are attacked and damaged for 100, they only take 80 damage.)
  • [Year 3] Part-Giant Actions. -
    • Grapple - Sacrifice your own movement to prevent someone else from getting ahead. If successful, the target is considered "bound". A bound person cannot move their limbs, so they cannot make physical actions nor can they cast magic that requires movement. While you are grappling someone, you also cannot move because you need to maintain your hold over them. At the start of each round the grappled player performs a grapple check (this is just a contested strength roll), this does not count as their action, and if they are successful then they are free from the bind. If they are unsuccessful, then they remain trapped. IF the player is free, they can still perform an action for the round as can you. If they are not free, they remain trapped and perform no action and you are busy holding so also perform no action. You may only target a racer you share a unit with. This is an ILLEGAL move. [Accuracy] [Strength]
      1. The Math: This requires an opposed accuracy check to hit, and then an opposed strength check to succeed. If the grappled opponent is targeted with an attack, the grappled opponent (as well as you) cannot evade the attack, it would automatically hit the BOTH of you even if the attack was a single target attack.
    • Grab - This is where the part giant attempts to grab an opponent's wand with their bare hands. You may only target a racer you share a unit with. [Accuracy] [Strength]
      1. The Math: This would be an accuracy (part giant) versus evasion (target) roll and then a contested strength check (of both) to see if the part giant gains the wand. However, it is very hard to fly with two wands in hand. Much like the Summoning Charm (Accio), the rider holding 2 wands has a 50% chance of simply falling off their broom (no hands) each unit they pass through with two wands in their possession to hand off the wand. The wand would need to be snatched back, requiring either a contested accuracy check followed by a contested strength check to regain the wand, or a use of the summoning charm if the now wand-less rider is able to cast without a wand.
    • Break Limbs - Aim for the bones. You may only target a racer you share a unit with. This is an ILLEGAL move. [Accuracy] [Strength]
      1. The Math: This move requires an accuracy check (part-giant) vs. evasion check (victim). If successful, a contested strength check will occur between the part-giant and victim. If the part-giant exceeds the victim, the limb is broken. A user only has two of each limb, so that is the maximum that each of these effects can be inflicted on a user. The head can also only be debuffed twice. The part-giant can choose which limb/head to target, but if none are chosen, it gets randomly rolled for. Possible limbs:
         • Legs (-1 evasion per leg broken)
         • Arms (-1 accuracy per arm broken)
         • Hands (10% chance to drop wand per hand broken, also 50% auto-fail chance for snapping fingers)
         • Foot (10% chance to stumble, losing the intended action they were about to perform per foot).
         • Head (-1 wisdom per attack on the head)
  • [Year 5] Physical Damage: +50%. Damage Reduction: 50%. Part-giants perform an additional +50% damage with their physical attacks (anything that requires strength). Damage reduction basically means that giants take less damage from magical and physical sources. (So if they are attacked and damaged for 100, they only take 50 damage.)
  • [Year 7] Berserk - An action that can be done. The giant is not in their right sense of mind as they make the final stance to take down their target. For the five rounds after declaring this action, they do 80% more physical damage to surrounding racers (including their own team). On a critical fail, they risk hurting themselves instead. During their berserk, their max speed and accuracy are halved.
  • [Year 7] Unbound. - Immunity to Vines, Full Body-Bind Curse, Immobulus, and Cockatrice's slowness effect.
• PART-GOBLIN
  • [Year 3] Wandless Magic - The natural ability allows them not to hold a wand when casting a spell (can't be Disarmed) or will be able to continue casting when Disarmed. For such spells, the spell is much harder to cast (due to increased Wisdom DC) and the chance to critically fail a Wisdom Check will be increased. The casting debuffs (from the ability) stack with the same debuffs from Non-Verbal Magic.
  • [Year 5] Armour. - A part-goblin's armor can be worn in a broom race, but the adjustment slots must be declared to the moderator before the race starts.
  • [Year 7] Gold. Goblin-Made Items - N/A
  • [Year 7] Armour: +2 Slots. - A part-goblins armor can be worn in a broom race, but the adjustment slots must be declared to the moderator before the race starts.
• SEER
  • [Year 1] Intuition. - The seer has a 10% auto-evasion & 10% auto-hit when in combat.
  • [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. 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.
  • [Year 5] Indiscriminate Knowledge - Spells cast by Seers cannot critically fail and their spells have a +1 chance of critically succeeding.
  • [Year 7] Fate Spinning - This can be used up to three times in a broom race. Note, the use of Fate Spinning must be stated by the player when they send their actions. For example: "If I get hit caught by the vines, use one instance of fate spinning to reroll my evasion." Fate spinning is difficult for a seer. Each fate spin causes an immediate decrease in wisdom that will last throughout the duration of the race by -2, and a wisdom DC of 15 must be passed for each fate spin.
• PART-VEELA
  • [Year 1] Alluring. - Effects those targeting the Veela only. There is a 10% chance that the attacker will attack another target instead of the Veela.
  • [Year 3] Scream. Part-Veelas are not nearly as attractive when they are angry, even more so when soaring through the air. Their scream can be disorienting (-1 accuracy and -1 evasion), requiring a full action to perform but does not require a wand. This can stack indefinitely and persist until the end of the encounter. This scream can target a single user or it can target up to five users. The scream has a range of 6 units. [Wisdom]
    • The Math: A contested wisdom check is done for each target. If targeting multiple racers, the part-veela will suffer -1 wisdom for each additional target.
  • [Year 7] Temperamental - +3 to their critical range (and a +1 chance to critically fail) an attack.
• 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. 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.
  • [Year 5] Pet Snake: Attacks - N/A
  • [Year 7] Dark Heritage - The Parselmouth gains +1 accuracy, +1 critical success range and +10% damage done with any curses they cast.
    Included Spells:

    - Mucus ad Nauseam
    - Slugulus Eructo
    - Mimblewimble
    - Petrificus Totalus
    - Confusio Linguarum
    - Digiti Wibbli
    - Locomotor Mortis
    

Special Abilities

1. Advanced Apparition - N/A
2. Advanced Casting - +1 to Critical Success range. Most spells have a chance to critically succeed. The default range is 20 (out of 1d20 roll), but with this ability, the Critical Success range on spells will be expanded (to 19 and 20).
3. Apparition - N/A
4. Animagus - N/A
5. Attacker Awareness - When facing an environmental attacker on a broom racing course, you have a 10% chance to go unnoticed by the attacker and not have to roll against them. This stacks throughout the race, adding 10% for each attacker you encounter. 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).
6. Avada Kedavra - N/A
7. Beast Master - N/A
8. Binding Mark - N/A
9. Blindvision - If a player with Blindvision is affected by any spell or obstacle reducing their sight, that effect is not active or instantly nullified. Immune to the following: Fumos, Obscuro, Verdimillious, Periculum, Nebulus, and the Fog obstacle.
10. Broken Broomshaft - Successful hits on improvised projectiles, blatches and critical hits on [Attack] spells made by racers with this ability have a 25% chance to also break a rider's broom.
11. Cat's Grace - Players with this ability have a 10% chance for their attack actions (blatches, spells, potions, etc) against opponents to go unnoticed by them. When a player succeeds to go unnoticed, their opponent's evasion is nullified (or zero) against the action. If an opponent targetting this player has Sixth Sense, the effect is cancelled and normal evasion rolls apply.
12. Calming Presence - Allies gain a 10% chance to auto-hit their chosen target on all spells and any actions needed an accuracy roll. This does not apply for obstacles and does not stack.
13. Charmer - All players that play against a player with Charmer will suffer -1 Accuracy in all of their Accuracy rolls. If there is more than one Charmer on the team, the effect is not stacked (Max: -1).
14. Chaser's Interception - N/A
15. Components - N/A
16. Comprehend Languages - Players with this ability gain +10% Wisdom for the entire duration of the race. This ability can be taken multiple times. However, the wisdom bonus is capped at 20%. This is a hard cap of 20% regardless of all spells, abilities, potions or other effects.
17. Corporeal Patronus Messenger - N/A
18. Crucio - N/A
19. Death Defiance - If a user drops below 0 health in a round, they instead withstand all the attacks that round, surviving the round with 1hp. This only effects the user that one round.
20. Evasive Maneuvers - 10% auto-evasion chance that anything targets this player automatically misses. This ability can be acquired up to 2 times with a final auto-evasion chance of 20%. The auto-evasion chance caps at 20% regardless of all spells, abilities, potions or other effects. Spells, actions, and obstacles that require the racer to make an evasion roll apply.
21. Fearless - Players with this ability are immune to a dhampir's aura, terrible presence, a werewolf's intimidation, a Boggart's fear effect, and any future fear effects from potions and spells.
22. Foulplay - When preforming an Illegal move, this player has a 25% chance the foul goes unnoticed by the referee causing the player to not have to take a penalty.
23. Healing Sage - +30% healing done with potions and spells by this user. This ability can be taken twice for a total of +60% healing. When a player with this ability casts Ferula, the subject of the spell (whether self or ally) has bleed immunity for the duration of the race.
24. Impartial - Immune to Lovely Creature and a Veela's Alluring. Metamorphmagi that have this ability and are in a race with a player that has Lovely Creature or Alluring can become Inspired and gain +1 to any stat of their choice as long as the applicate user is still conscious. Note: this +1 stat point does not break caps or stack if there are multiple Lovely Creatures or Veela present.
25. Imperio - N/A
26. Keen Eye - players with this ability have a 10% chance to notice 'hidden' environmental attackers on the track and gain an advantage on their rolls against them. Hidden environmental attackers include Chizpurfles, the Bundimun, and the Swooping Evil in the Trees.
27. Keeper's Catch - N/A
28. Legilimency - N/A
29. Lovely Creature - Increases wisdom DC’s for spells by +2. This ability does not stack. If a Veela has Lovely Creature, wisdom DC's for spells increase by an additional +1 on top of the +2, maxing out at +3. This only affects opponents.
30. Non-Human Enthusiast - +1 to all wisdom checks, accuracy and evasion rolls against a non-human opponent, including environmental attackers.
31. Nonverbal Magic - Increases critical failure chance +1 and wisdom DC +5 when casting nonverbally. Allows players to continue casting spells when unable to speak.
32. Obnoxiously Strong - Players with this ability gain +15% strength for the duration of the race.
33. Paragon of Health - Two allies of players with this ability (which must be defined at the start of the thread/upon entry) gain +10% temporary health points calculated from their stamina. This cannot stack or be healed. You are not considered your own ally.
34. Occlumency - N/A
35. Perfectionist - All critical failure ranges are reduced by 1. This ability can be taken twice to be fully immune to critical failures.
36. Poison Resistance - Players with this ability get an advantage on their Resistance Check when attacked with a potion and by poisonous/venomous environmental attackers, which means that the check is performed twice and the better result is chosen.
37. Potion Mastery - When attacking another player with a potion, that other player has a disadvantage on their Resistance Check, meaning the lower of two rolls is taken.
38. Prodigal Charms Learner - Spells learned with this ability can be used in the race if they are defined in the spells section.
39. Prodigal Potions Learner - Potions learned with this ability can be used in the race if they are defined in the potions section.
40. Prodigal Transfiguration Learner - Spells learned with this ability can be used in the race if they are defined in the spells section.
41. Prodigal Defense Against the Dark Arts Learner - Spells learned with this ability can be used in the race if they are defined in the spells section.
42. Rapid Reviver - If a user passes over the unit of a fallen player and the conscious player has this ability, they can perform an action to revive a fallen character, bringing them back to 1 HP. 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. If no user is chosen, then the opponent is decided at random. This would be a normal attack roll using the user's accuracy and strength modifiers. This does not require an additional action and would occur automatically on the same round.
44. Restricted Charms Section - Spells learned with this ability can be used in the race if they are defined in the spells section.
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.
46. Restricted Potions Section - Potions learned with this ability can be used in the race if they are defined in the potions section.
47. Restricted Transfiguration Section - Spells learned with this ability can be used in the race if they are defined in the spells section.
48. Savior - If a player with this ability uses the action save, they can save two allies rather than one as long as they have the broom capacity to do so, and they have the option to use "return to broom" in the same round as the save. 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. If there is an opponent with Cat's Grace, the player with Sixth Sense will automatically notice any attack made against them, leading to normal evasion rolls.
50. Spell Spread - Can cast the same spell on two opponents if the second target is within 1 unit of the first. Both opponents must be within the range of the spell. Accuracy is decreased by -2, wisdom DC is increased by +2, and the critical failure range is increased by +1. Wisdom bonuses will apply only if the original opponent fits the requirements (eg. non-human enthusiast, only getting the +1 on the wisdom check if the first opponent is non-human).
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. Terrible Presence only affects accuracy actions. This does not apply to obstacles.
    Note: Fall damage is not included on damage reduction along with damage caused by obstacles. Only attacks directly hitting an opponent have damage reductions.
54. The Martial Artist - The four martial artist moves are able to be used in broom racing, however, they are all considered illegal moves.

    - 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:
    
    Reducio

    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 Cat 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 Cat 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.

Brooms in Broom Racing

Broom Racing requires a broom. A broom can be purchased in Diagon Alley in the Quality Quidditch Shop. For newer students that cannot afford a broom, during school-sanctioned race events they may use a school broom. The school brooms are a far-cry from the powerhouses their peers have purchased however, so buying a broom is highly recommended! Some of these brooms may have a different effect in Quidditch - only the racing-specific effects are listed here.

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).

Alley-Oop: Normally during an alley-oop manuever, the thrower must remain still to gain enough momentum to throw their ally. Due to the cutting-edge design of the Starsweeper XXI, the racer may move while throwing another player. The racer may not perform any other action during an alley-oop, and their movement speed will be halved.
