[QUOTE="Undrhil, post: 4477639, member: 77538"] This looks very promising. Allow me to throw a couple of wrenches into your planning, though, before you get very far with this. J.K.Rowling will likely not approve of using the house names in your custom content, whether you plan on playing this privately or otherwise. I suggest you flesh out the rules and make use of generic house names. You could have the campaign(s) take place at an American school of wizardry, or a Canadian one. Or, perhaps a new school opened up in England, to rival the current *top* school in the area? Maybe it's run by the Ministry of Magic? Also, make the houses be a "subclass" of the Wizard class. This way, you have no duplication of effort in the case of the powers. The Wizard class can have access to any of the powers, but the subclasses may have access to specialty spells (such as the Unforgivables) and other benefits (added skills to the skill-list or bonus to stats, etc.) I like how the two levels per school year ended up with 5th years being right there at 9-10 (the end of the Heroic tier in 4th edition and the time period during which students would take the OWLs in the HP universe.) But this doesn't really fit well with the fact that there are still two more years at school, so I offer a different option: staggered levels per year. The way this would work is that first years through fourth years would have one level per year. The coursework is slightly difficult for them but made moreso by the fact that it is new to most of them. Fifth year would count as two levels, the second of which would be earned after taking your OWLs. Sixth and Seventh year would also be two levels each, ending with the NEWTs and leaving the Heroic tier behind. You leave school and choose your job (Paragon Path) and go from there. Now then, all of this being said, I cannot imagine a gaming group sitting around a table playing a game in which they are at school taking classes. The classes could be interesting sometimes, since you could play out learning various powers but the majority of the action would have to take place away from the school during summer, on holidays (or on weekends, I suppose.) I will watch this and see if it gets any more support and I will help out if I can, some but I can't promise anything since my schedule at works keeps me busy often. Ken [/QUOTE]
