# Introduction
This guide is specifically dedicated to helping you run a game of Wands & Wizards: A Harry Potter 5e Adaptation. If you're unfamiliar with W&W, a few things might not make much sense. Additionally, be sure to refer to Wands & Wizards: The Monster Book of Monsters to find the fantastic beasts you can pit against your players.

You will find three parts to this guide. The first part is purely setting information, giving a crash course in Harry Potter and filling in any blanks you might have about the series. The second part is variant rules, resources and activities; it contains all the little things for a campaign that will keep your players enchanted. The third and final part is dedicated entirely to locations. The magical word in Britain revolves around a few key locations, which your players will want to explore and experience.
## The Role of the HM
HM stands for Headmaster or Headmistress, which is used specifically to represent the Game Master running the game of W&W. That abbreviation is used throughout the document to refer to this person, whereas the term "headmaster" will mean the head professor of Hogwarts.
### Understanding Character Levels
The recommended character level to Hogwarts year mapping is found in the following table. A typical student at Hogwarts would graduate as a level 10 character. Most adults in wizarding society would be between levels 10 and 12 (or perhaps lower, if they're particularly unskilled with magic). This is very different to the world of D&D, where commoners do not have PC levels and are significantly weaker than even a fledgling adventurer. However, the average adult wizard would not know any Dark magic, and may be entirely unpracticed in combative spells. Keep this in mind when constructing conflicts and while your players interact with the world.

# Chapter 1: The History of Magic
Welcome to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! If you'd like to familiarize yourself with the canon of the series, read on. This section does not contain any information originating from the Play-That-Must-Not-Be-Named, and no references to such a thing will be found anywhere else.

At the end of this chapter, *Writing New Chapters in Wizarding History* addresses how HMs can fit W&W adventures in and among existing canon.
## A Hidden World
The very concept of the wizarding world is its coexistence alongside the "real world." You and I are considered muggles, a nickname given to non-magical folk by the very magical folk of the United Kingdom. American wizards like the term no-maj, as a shortened slang version of no magic. Muggles never see the magical world, for we're too busy with our own. It's quite difficult to overcome the cognitive dissonance of discovering something that breaks laws of physics and shatters our understanding of reality.

As we go about our days sitting in classrooms, commuting to work, and flying on airplanes to distant destinations, we are surrounded by small pockets of magic. Just over a one-hundredth of a percent of the world's population is magical, a witch or a wizard. Just like the fairy tales, these witches and wizards wave wands, ride flying broomsticks, chant ancient incantations, fight fire-breathing dragons, brew bubbling potions and wield incredible power.
### The International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy of 1689
The reason the entire magical world is so well-hidden from muggle eyes is because of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. This edict was put in place to protect the magical world, as a reaction to the witch-hunts prevalent throughout the medieval era. Muggles had proved themselves dangerous to wizard-kind, and so, using magic, a veil of secrecy separated the two worlds. This statute means that non-magical people absolutely cannot know about the magical world in any way, and if a wizard behaves in a way or says something that reveals its existence, they've committed a crime.

Fortunately, with their vast powers, wizards and witches have invented many ways to hide things from muggles. A grand castle might be enchanted to appear to be nothing but ruins and rubble. A small pub door on a busy street is so unobtrusive that the public's gaze seems to slide right past it, out of their control. If a muggle steps foot in the wrong area, they might get a compulsive, irresistible thought that they've left their door unlocked, left the oven on, or just remembered a forgotten appointment. All of these are completely undetectable.

However, it's impossible to keep the magical world hidden for long. There are innocent casualties in wizarding wars. A dragon might break out of a reserve and fly over a village. A young muggle-born wizard can lose control over his emotions and perform accidental magic, like inflating an incredibly rude aunt until she floats across the countryside like a balloon. For these situations, memory charms help maintain the Statute of Secrecy.

A memory charm is a spell that allows for the manipulation of the target's memories, often wiping a single object, event, or concept from a person's mind. Named after the spell's incantation, teams of obliviators are dispatched to crime scenes and wizarding households to erase the memory of any nearby muggles who witnessed the event.

If the damage was severe and lives were lost, a cover story might be adopted, like a gas explosion or an unexplained animal attack. The obliviators use spells to put things in their proper place or stage a scene that makes sense to muggles. Everyone believes that they saw what the obliviators suggested, and life goes back to normal.
### Muggle Stories
Despite the efforts of the Statute of Secrecy and the wizards enforcing it, a lot of the magical world is quite visible to muggles through one medium: fiction. Whether the idea was passed down from stories told centuries ago or a poorly cast memory charm starts to wear off, muggle stories are filled with magic and creatures from the wizarding world.

The reason muggles are so interested in myths like vampires, dragons, magical forests and goblins is because in reality, they aren't myths. Villagers in Romania truly were terrorized by by vampires, but by the time the Statute of Secrecy was put in place, the concept of a vampire was so widespread that it was impossible to remove via memory charm. The same goes for dragons, ferocious beasts that lead secluded lives in mountain ranges, and as a matter of fact, Merlin really was one of the most powerful wizards of all time.

The only thing wizards can do is protect muggles from these mythical creatures and continue to cover up any new incidents. As long as these things remain as "myths," the Statute of Secrecy is maintained.

However, just because these creatures survive in muggle tales, that doesn't mean muggle fiction is entirely correct. There are many inaccuracies that have been added from all the retellings, and inspired by the magical world, muggles have invented quite a few things on their own. Most of muggle fantasy is rooted in reality, but it doesn't represent the magical world perfectly.

## The Story of </br>the Boy Who Lived
One of the most famous wizards in the modern wizarding world and the only known survivor of the Killing Curse, Harry James Potter is credited with twice defeating the Dark wizard Tom Riddle, also referred to as He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, You Know Who and Voldemort. Harry Potter now heads the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and is happily married to former Holyhead Harpies Chaser Ginny Weasley. However, Harry Potter's childhood and school years are the subject of international curiosity and countless historical accounts. To fully understand the story of Harry Potter, one must begin with Tom Riddle's rise to power.
### The Rise of the Death Eaters
Not unlike Harry Potter, Tom Riddle was a half-blood orphan who showed great potential at the esteemed Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As those close to Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, O.M. (First Class) would attest, Dumbledore closely watched Riddle and was troubled by Riddle's manipulative and vindictive tendencies. On paper, Riddle was a model student, earning several awards and serving as Head Boy. In reality, he cultivated forbidden knowledge and turned bullies into devoted extremists, until his graduation in the mid-1940s.

Upon leaving Hogwarts, Riddle spent several decades studying Dark Arts and forging alliances with dangerous magical beings and creatures. Branding his lackeys Death Eaters, Riddle pursued power under the guise of blood purity, the disproven superstition that pure-blooded witches and wizards were magically superior to Muggleborn peers. This proved effective in galvanizing members of the wizarding elite, motivating the Death Eaters through hatred and fear.

It is undeniable that Riddle's sorting into the house of Slytherin and his recruiting among his peers led to Slytherin's decades-long reputation for producing Dark wizards. This reputation served as a self-fulfilling prophecy, with generations of Riddle's supporters preferring Slytherin. Although modern wizards have tried to sever Slytherin's association with the Dark Arts, Tom Riddle's crimes are not easily forgotten.

# Chapter 3: Magical Adventures
As an HM, it's your job to provide a world for your players to experience. This chapter is dedicated to providing options and guidance on the decisions that need to be made about that world, like when it takes place, who is the antagonist and what kind of conflicts will the players face.

This section is written with the assumption that the campaign should be consistent with established canon. An HM can twist or abandon characters and events from the original series as desired, although most players will expect the canon wizarding world by default.
## Writing New Chapters in Wizarding History
With a little forethought, it's easy to place a campaign in and among the wizarding world. The first thing to decide is what the time period will be, because that affects the state of Hogwarts, the likely conflicts of that time, and the recognizable NPCs who will be populating this world.
### Adventure Timelines
There are a handful of time periods in recent history when a new group of students could've gotten up to their own misadventures at Hogwarts, without disrupting any major events in the series. Every timeline will overlap with some established characters, so each HM should research who is present at Hogwarts. Most of the following campaign settings would take place at Hogwarts, but if not, their location is noted in the commentary around each era.

**The Golden Age of Greece (circa 500-300 BC).** A variety of mythological witches and wizards were noted to be active in the ancient Greek civilization, like Herpo the Foul, Circe and several notable seers.

**The Founding of Hogwarts (circa 993).** Whether participating in the design and construction of the castle or attending as one of the first generations of students at Hogwarts, there's much to be uncovered in a campaign featuring the four iconic founders of Hogwarts and their ultimate falling-out.

**The Dawn of the Triwizard Tournament (circa 1294).** By this year, Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang have all been founded and established with a significant student base. With the inception of the Triwizard Tournament, seeds of international cooperation have been sown among the European wizarding community.

**The Founding of Ilvermorny (circa 1634).** Although Ilvermorny was founded in America a handful of years earlier than this time, 1634 was the year Ilvermorny was noted to have a substantial number of students attending. Although a campaign of any time period can be set at Ilvermorny, the founding of the school was an exciting time led by Sayre, Steward and the Boot brothers.

**The Witch Hunt Era (circa 1692).** All around the world, tensions between muggles and wizards were reaching a peak, leading to the ratification of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. Interact with a medieval world and navigate the messy process of erasing wizarding society from the world's collective memory.

**The Last Goblin Rebellion (circa 1890).** Although goblins and wizardkind have a long and bloody history, the most recent major goblin uprising took place right in the middle of the Second Industrial Revolution. Led by Ranrok, this goblin rebellion was centered around the controversial Wand Ban for non-human creatures. This is also the setting of the upcoming *Hogwarts Legacy* game, potentially offering a whole new host of characters and events to experience.

**The Grindelwald Era (1918-1937).** As we've seen in the *Fantastic Beasts* stories, the wizarding world was thrown into turmoil after the First World War. The dark wizard Grindelwald galvanized many followers in his quest for the Deathly Hallows and for establishing wizardkind's dominance over muggles. This only came to an end through Grindelwald's defeat in 1945 at the hands of Dumbledore, but the era is cut short when Tom Riddle was a first-year at Hogwarts in 1938.

**The Pre-Death-Eater Era (1946-1962).** As Tom Riddle graduated from Hogwarts and went on a journey to reinvent himself as Lord Voldemort, there were many uneventful years before future Death Eaters and older members of the Order of the Phoenix first arrived at Hogwarts. A variety of adventures could've happened under Headmaster Dippet's watch, and a younger Albus Dumbledore succeeds Dippet as Headmaster sometime in these years. Additionally, many of the familiar professors at Hogwarts will be in their prime and just beginning their teaching careers.

**The Post-Marauders Era (1979-1990).** Since these years are immediately before the events recorded in *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone*, this campaign setting will be the most familiar to fans. The Marauders will have graduated and the First Wizarding War comes to an end, resulting in a brief pocket of peace before the Second Wizarding War. A handful of older characters from the series will be either beginning or ending their education during these years, but the majority of canon characters and events will be happening away from Hogwarts. Additionally, *Hogwarts Mystery* provides a "canon-light" storyline and roster of characters HMs can use to populate their campaign.

**The Post-Battle-of-Hogwarts Era (1999-2014).** Another favorite campaign setting, this era takes place after the Battle of Hogwarts has concluded in *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows*. With the Second Wizarding War over, Hogwarts needs to be restored to its former glory and the community needs to heal. The professors at Hogwarts will be the same faces seen towards the end of the series, but the next few student cohorts offer a completely blank canvas for any kind of story.

**The Modern Era (2022 - Future).** It's present day, which means HMs can shape the future of the wizarding world however they see fit. Beginning in 2022 avoids any issues of overlapping with Harry Potter's children, but by starting a few years earlier, those characters could be older Hogwarts students about to graduate. There's ample opportunity to change around Hogwarts professors and feature characters from the original series as older adults, either among the ranks of the Ministry of Magic or among the Hogwarts staff.

## Choose Your Own </br>Dark Wizard
After choosing the time period of a campaign, the most important element is the BBEG. Short for "Big Bad Evil Guy," BBEG not only represents the actual villain of a campaign, but also all of the nefarious deeds and plotting that this BBEG will be doing through the course of the campaign. This section will help outline some of the details to be considered when designing a BBEG.
### Historically Accurate Villainy
Once a time period has been selected for a campaign, an HM should think about what kind of conflict makes sense for that time period and its political environment. Be mindful of the complications of the time period.

A campaign set in the modern era takes place in the vacuum left behind by Tom Riddle. It makes sense that a new dark wizard would arise, but the modern era is filled with veterans of the Second Wizarding War, ready to rally around Harry Potter and equipped to deal with the threat. A dark wizard would have to operate from the shadows and evade detection as long as possible.

Take goblins as another example. Hundreds of years ago, goblins were in open rebellion against wizards, easily providing a backdrop for a campaign's BBEG. However, for a campaign set around the time of Tom Riddle or Harry Potter, goblins have settled into the essential position of wizarding banking. A goblin-associated BBEG would not make much sense in that campaign, judging by the (mostly) peaceful relations in the series.
### Big Bad Evil Guys and Girls
Here are a few BBEG concepts to get a campaign started.

##### Dark Wizards
* A Hogwarts student begins down a dark path towards immense magical power, losing their humanity in the process.
* A werewolf supremacist rescues infected wizards and converts them willingly to his cause, building up an increasingly threatening cult of outcasts who want to overthrow non-lycan wizards.
* A sneaky dark wizard blames a scapegoat to incite fear, violence and tribalism among wizards, and gains political power in the background.
* An ancient wizard's resurrected form (or a twisted experiment of that wizard) is awoken by cursebreakers, unleashing malevolent magic previously lost to time.
* A Hogwarts professor plans to blackmail and bribe their way to the role of Headmaster, so they can slowly shape wizarding culture to fit their agenda.
* A dark wizard discovers an unprecedented magical ability (like manipulating time or removing another wizard's magic) and performs kidnappings to experiment with it.

\pagebreakNum

* A powerful charmer is using obliviate to cover their conspiracy and erase the Imperio curse from everyone's memory, granting the charmer unrivaled control.
* With a newly discovered way to temporarily imbue muggles with magic for a day, a cabal of wizards seek to destroy the International Statute of Secrecy as confusion grips the world and unexplained phenomena appear everywhere.
* An evil wizard has discovered a substance that is extremely toxic to muggles but harmless to wizardkind and is using it to poison muggles, starting at Hogwarts since the substance lies beneath the castle.
* Morgana's ghost has uncovered how to wield magic as a spirit, continuing her machinations from beyond the grave.

##### Dangerous Beasts and Magical Beings
* A charismatic leader among goblins illegally seizes a significant number of wands, arming his followers and waging war against wizards for past transgressions.
* A misguided magizoologist befriends a group of intelligent and lethal magical beasts and helps them grow their numbers, threatening nearby wizards and the International Statute of Secrecy.
* A leader of the merfolk is raising a global fascist movement trying to reclaim the glory of old Atlantis.
* Dragons are suffering from a contagious disease that makes them unusually aggressive, and the magical community must enlist muggle scientists, because the answer can only be found in the intersection of magic and technology.

##### Mysterious Happenings

* An employee of the Department of Mysteries falls under the control of an ominous dark artifact and they unwittingly work to expand its control.
* A seer is driven mad by their visions, wreaking havoc and evading capture only through their omniscience.
* A seemingly harmless club is started at Hogwarts, which is revealed to be a branch of a dangerous cult led by a shadowy figure only referred to as the "Grand Father," and the cult aims to grow its members until it can overthrow the Ministry of Magic.
* A vengeful Muggle escaped with knowledge of wizards, exposed the wizarding world to the muggle government, and is now leading a secret militia, known as Inquisitors, to fight against wizards and witches.
* The new CEO of Gringott's is slowly buying up all of the small businesses in magical Britain, trying to turn the bank into the first magical megacorporation.
* A magical paradox threatens to destroy magic altogether, causing magic to fade and become increasingly unreliable.
* Someone emerged from the Veil in the Department of Mysteries, and they're trying to convince as many people as possible to walk through it.

### Extracurricular Crime-Fighting
Since Wands & Wizards is designed around a group of young witches and wizards learning magic at Hogwarts or another similar magical school, the development of conflict will look a little different compared to a typical fantasy quest. After all, BBEGs care deeply about the education of future generations and will need to let the party continue their schooling. Here are a few guidelines to keep in mind:

**A BBEG should not be openly operating at the beginning of the campaign.** There are many powerful wizards teaching at Hogwarts, so it must be logical why adults do not immediately address the BBEG's threat. It also would be unfortunate if a fool-hardy group of first-years threw themselves at a powerful dark wizard before they had adequate dueling skills.

**A BBEG's plans should progress at an appropriate rate as the party grows in magical prowess.** Unless the campaign is separated into completely separate story arcs, the BBEG can gradually become more and more of a problem as their actions ripple through the world. Much like Tom Riddle regaining his strength, the stakes get bigger as time passes.

**A BBEG should have a very good reason to NOT kill young wizards.** Tom Riddle greatly valued wizardkind and wanted as many wizards and witches as possible to join his ranks. Thanks to a prophecy, he also forbid Death Eaters from attempting to kill Harry Potter. Mix in magical protection from the love of his mother, and Harry Potter was ready to survive 7 books. A campaign's BBEG should give the party the same luxury. Give a BBEG easily understandable motivations or principles that will prevent them from immediately Avada Kedavra-ing a group of Hogwarts students who stand in their way.

**There should be mini-BBEGs or henchmen to keep the party busy at lower levels.** Adventurers (or adventurous students) need an antagonist. Whether it's a weaker lieutenant of the BBEG or a rival in school, the party should be able to hone their skills and resolve some conflicts against smaller adversaries.

# Chapter 4: Variant Rules
F  rom the beginning, Wands & Wizards was designed to be as compatible with 5e as possible. As a result, certain sacrifices have been made for simplicity, and sometimes, it's going to feel a little bit more like D&D than Harry Potter. If your table is looking to tip the scales in the other direction and play a game that more closely aligns with the Wizarding World they know and love, these variant rules are designed to be closer to Harry Potter's canon or otherwise promote an enjoyable experience. 
## Difficult Non-Verbal Casting
In Wands & Wizards, you obtain your metamagic at 3rd level, which is roughly around the middle of your second year at Hogwarts. Second years aren't running around non-verbally hexing each other with Subtle Spell, so with this variant, young witches and wizards will learn non-verbal casting at a more age-appropriate level.
> ##### Variant: Subtle Spell 
> You must reach the 7th level before you can select Subtle Spell as a Metamagic option. 
>
> If you are a Willpower Caster, you can choose to replace one of your existing Metamagic options with Subtle Spell when you reach the 7th level.

## Extra Crits
Everyone loves a good critical hit, some more than others. Unfortunately, Wands & Wizards has nearly done away with crits by switching to magic-only. If you miss the thrill of a nat 20, these are two variant rules to allow criticals to apply to two extra scenarios.
> ##### Variant: Critical Hits 
> When you score a critical hit with a spell that does not deal damage, the spell is automatically cast one level higher than the consumed spell slot, not exceeding the highest available level of spell slots you have. If the spell's language does not allow it to be cast one level higher, the target makes their next saving throw against the effects of that spell (if applicable) at disadvantage.

\columnbreak
> ##### Variant: Saving Throw Critical Fail
> When a target of a spell rolls a 1 on their first saving throw, that spell is treated as if it scored a critical hit. This can be combined with the variant rule for critical hits, and those rules apply when a target critically fails on their saving throw against a spell that does not deal damage.

<!-- ## Limited Spell Curriculum
Is a first-year student conjuring things as soon as they step foot in Hogwarts? Are your players turning into pint-size murderhobos, casting *bombarda* at the first thing that moves? Limiting spell availability based on Hogwarts curriculum makes for a more canon-compliant experience, at the expense of power at lower levels.

Coming soon!-->
## Marauding Animagi
If your party wants to roam the grounds of Hogwarts as a pack of animagi, grant them the following Animagus feat -- after they've earned it, of course. A character studying Transfiguration will feel a little less special. To remedy this, a variant version of the *Animagus Transformation* will allow them to transform three times as frequently as their unspecialized comrades, preserving the uniqueness of Transfiguration.
> ##### Variant: Animagus Feat
> *Prerequisite: 8th level*
> ___
> Your dedicated study of self-transfiguration has culminated in the animagus ceremony. Regardless of your School of Magic, you gain the *Animagus Transformation* feature, but you can only use this feature once per short or long rest.
>___
> ##### Variant: Animagus Transformation
> You can use your action to magically assume the shape of your animagus form (see *Your Animagus Form*). You can use this feature three times. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

##### PLEASE NOTE:
This is not intended to be included in a normal game of W&W. The above feat is not balanced, and should not be used freely in character creation. This variant rule is only for when the entire party wants to emulate the Marauders by all becoming animagi. Because this is a very narrative event, it makes sense to grant the associated Feat to the party at a logical point in time, instead of sacrificing an ASI for the Feat. Transfiguration School of Magic PCs obtain the *Animagus Transformation* feature at 6th level, as usual.

## Mid-Campaign Skill Progression
In 5e, your adventurers typically start at 1st level as adults with complete backstories and some basic skills to help them in their journeys. In Wands & Wizards, your 1st-level adventurers are 11-12 year old children. With less time to build up specialized skills and learn about themselves, it may be a little strange to start with 4+ skill proficiencies.

> ##### Variant: Skill Proficiencies
> During character creation, choose one skill proficiency from Casting Style instead of the normal amount. You will not gain any other skill proficiencies from Casting Style or from Background.
>
> At 2nd level, choose one of the two skill proficiencies granted by your Background and you gain any applicable tool proficiencies. 
> 
> At 4th level, choose a second skill proficiency from Casting Style.
>
> At 5th level, you gain proficiency in the other skill granted by your Background.

<!-- ## Powerful Shield Charms
One of the most dangerous Dark wizards in history strolls slowly through the wreckage, surveying his murderous handiwork. A small voice cries, "Stupefy!" and a red spark shoots through the smoke. The Dark wizard almost laughs, then lazily deflects the spell with a shield-- wait, no, the first-year student rolled a nat 20. More powerful shield charms prevent this from happening.
> ##### Variant: *Protego*
> In addition to *protego*'s usual effects, any time you are targeted by a spell that requires a ranged attack roll, you are immune to the spell if the spell's casted level is less than or equal to half your proficiency modifier, rounded up.
> ___
> ##### Variant: *Protego Maxima*
> In addition to *protego maxima*'s usual effects, you have advantage on Strength and Dexterity saving throws made against magical effects.

Evasive Maneuver: As a bonus action, you halve your movement speed and add your proficiency bonus to your AC until the start of your next turn.
-->
## Realistic Lycanthropy
Lycanthropy in W&W is designed to be a viable feat that allows a player to realize a specific character concept and not feel less effective or punished for doing so. If you prefer lycanthropy to be represented more like its appearance in canon--it's a terrible curse that changes a person's life for the worse--you can use this variant rule.
> ##### Variant: Lycanthropy
> You've been attacked by a transformed werewolf, infecting you with the blood curse of lycanthropy. You gain the following penalties:
> * From sunset to sunrise on the night of the full moon, you undergo your werewolf transformation. During the transformation, your alignment changes to Chaotic Evil and your character is placed under HM control.
> * For the day of and three days after your werewolf transformation, you suffer a -3 penalty to your Constitution score, gain two levels of exhaustion that cannot be removed and have disadvantage on Constitution saving throws.
> * If your condition becomes known, fellow witches and wizards might fear or discriminate against you.

\columnbreak
## Reliable Damage
If your players are struggling with the lack of weapons and need a reliable source of minimum damage, this will help them without forcing them to pay a cantrip tax.
> ##### Variant: Devicto
> At level 1, every character adds the *devicto* spell to their list of known spells. It does not count against their number of cantrips known, and cannot be forgotten to learn another cantrip.
## Schools of Indecision
Choosing the field of study for the rest of your life is no easy feat for a wizard, especially at the young age of 11. Use this variant rule if you'd like to give your players a bit more time to try out different schools of magic.
> ##### Variant: School of Magic Selection
> By spending a week studying in your free time, you can change your school of magic to any available option, losing anything gained from your previous school of magic (features, school of magic spells, abilities, equipment). Once you reach the 3rd level, your school of magic is locked in permanently.
## Spell Creation
Although highly dangerous and discouraged, experimental charms and the invention of spells are a very real part of the world of Harry Potter. For players who want to dabble in magic theory and be the next Half-Blood Prince, HMs will have to provide guidance on what's a "realistic" spell to create and how to balance it.

# Chapter 5: Treasure

## Wand Advancement
As a witch or wizard uses their wand, they begin to learn its idiosyncracies and change the way they cast spells in order to produce the best results. In a peculiar way, wands will do the same things with their wielders. Wands may more easily cast the type of spells that their owners favor, or they might behave strangely in a stranger's hands. Wandmakers will often describe wands as if they have their own innate personality, and they believe the wizard's values, actions and magic will shape that personality.

Although wands react to their ideal wizard during wand selection, wands will be in a **dormant state** for a very long time. A dormant wand has no particular preferences over who is using it, and that is when the wand is most neutral. As a witch bonds with her wand, she may feel more in tune with it, her magic could grow more potent, or the wand can exhibit new behavior when casting a spell. When the wand and the wizard start to become one, the wand is described as being in an **awakened state**. These benefits depend on the wand's trait, based on its personality. As the wizard reaches a very high level of mastery in their magical pursuits, a wand can become even more magically enhanced in the **exalted state**. The bonuses of a wand's advancement are not cumulative and cannot be combined.

Any benefits a wizard gains from wand advancement is permanent for as long as that wizard is attuned to that wand. It does not matter whether or not the wizard has that particular wand in their possession. However, if a wizard attunes to a different wand, that wizard will lose the benefits from their previous wand and their new wand will be dormant. If the wizard ever attunes back to their first wand, the bond will have to be reformed and it will be dormant; however, the wand may quickly recognize its old owner and advance at a faster rate than before.

### Matching the Traits to the Wand
Typical for the enigmatic study of wand lore, there is no rigid system for identifying the traits a wand has before it awakens. The wand's components play a significant role in the wand's developed trait.

For instance, wands with a core of Dragon Heartstring do not have a reputation for allegiance to their first owner, so it would be uncommon to find one with the Loyal trait. However, if that Dragon Heartstring is found within a Spruce wand that commits itself fully to a well-disciplined wizard, that wizard may find his wand to be truly Loyal. As another example, a Unicorn Hair wand is not known for having a Powerful trait like Dragon Heartstring or Phoenix Feather is, but it's possible in a particularly "outspoken" wood like Blackthorn or Cherry. A Unicorn Hair wand has never been known to be Savage, though.

It's ultimately the combination of the wand's components and the wizard's personality. Each wand trait has two suggested Backgrounds that would be appropriate for that specific wand trait, but any Background or wand wood can be matched with any trait based on how that wand has been used and how it has learned from its wielder.

All wand traits are assigned by the HM and the time of advancement is decided by the HM. A wand's trait cannot be changed once it's been assigned, but a wand's exalted trait may be different from its awakened trait. Since effects are not cumulative, the awakened benefit is lost if the wand's trait evolves in this way.

> ##### When a Wand Advances
> A wand only reaches its awakened state once it has truly bonded with its owner, typically through a life-defining event, such as:
>
> * A character digs deep in a time of need and discovers something new about themselves.
> * A character achieves a new level of magical mastery that brings them closer to achieving their lifelong goals.
> * A character faces their inner demons for the sake of their companions, their family or their own happiness.
> * A character finally resolves a burning question that has tormented them for years.
> * A character forms a new purpose or philosophy after going through a crisis.
>
> Most accomplished adult wizards should awaken their wands through their travels and adventures (between levels 8 and 14), but very few wands reach an exalted state. A wizard with an exalted wand is often a household name or bears serious influence in the magical world (between levels 15 and 20).

> ##### Looking at Love Potions
> The morality of love potions is questionable at best. While love potions are often handled humorously in the original series, we must recognize the importance of consent. Love potions do not allow for consent and should not be used to cross any character's boundaries. If you are going to play W&W with love potions, please have a conversation with your table to ensure everyone is comfortable and will behave respectfully. Otherwise, do not include them in your game.

## Casual Quidditch
Depending on your desired experience, there are two versions of Quidditch played. "Casual" Quidditch is a simpler and fast-paced version designed for larger tables or players who want a light mini-game to play in their downtime. "Pro" Quidditch is a more complex way of running the sport designed to simulate 5e combat and turn-based strategy. Either method can be used in a non-competitive, scrimmage context or in a very important spectator championship.

Casual Quidditch is primarily made up of ability checks and skill contests, following usual 5e rules. The only new rule is the possibility of adding the proficiency bonus twice to a single roll. If a character is proficient in a skill (like Athletics) and in using broomsticks, that character is going to add their proficiency bonus to their roll twice when they make an Athletics check while playing Quidditch. If a character is proficient in only one of those two things, they're going to add the proficiency bonus once, as usual.
### The Four Positions' Roles
#### A Chaser's Role:
* When a Chaser has the quaffle, they're the Offensive Chasers. They engage in a contest using the skill associated with their chosen offensive maneuver to get past the opposing Chasers and get a scoring chance.
* In a scoring chance, the Chaser in possession of the quaffle uses their choice of Athletics or Sleight of Hand in the skill contest with the opposing Keeper, to successfully shoot the quaffle through one of the goal posts.
* The Chasers on the team that does not have the quaffle are the Defensive Chasers. They engage in a contest using the skill associated with their chosen defensive maneuver to block the Offensive Chasers and steal the quaffle from them.

##### Offensive Chaser Maneuvers
| Name | Description |Skill |
|:----:|:------------|:-----:|
| Rapid </br>Passing        | Swirling formations and multiple passes between chasers | Acrobatics |
| Hawkshead </br>Formation  | An arrowhead formation with the quaffle in the middle | Athletics |
| The Porskoff </br>Ploy    | A faked forward pass, into a drop pass to a Chaser below | Sleight of Hand |

##### Defensive Chaser Maneuvers
| Name | Description | Skill |
|:----:|:------------|:-----:|
| Body </br>Tackle          | Physically blocking the opposing chasers and snatching the quaffle | Athletics |
| Parkin's </br>Pincer      | Two Chasers box in the quaffle, and a third flies straight at them | Athletics |
| Pass </br>Interception    | An open, flexible formation </br>to cut off passing lanes | Acrobatics |

\columnbreak
##### Maneuver </br>Diagram
<img src='https://www.gmbinder.com/images/YcyZ69x.png' style='height:300px; margin: -43px 0 20px 33px; z-index:100;' />

* The arrow indicates which maneuver wins against which. Rapid Passing wins against Body Tackle, but loses against Pass Interception.
* If any of the above maneuvers do not interact, like Rapid Passing and Parkin's Pincer, the maneuvers tie.

#### A Beater's Role:
* The Beater must make an Athletics check to successfully hit the bludger. If they fail the check, they either miss the bludger or the bludger misses the target, and they have no impact on that round.
* Whoever the Beaters successfully target suffers disadvantage on their roll. If Offensive Chasers are targeted, they receive disadvantage on the Chaser contest, not on the scoring chance. If enemy Beaters are targeted, the enemy Beaters suffer disadvantage on their Athletics check (roll again and take the lower of the two rolls). If the two teams' Beaters target each other, they cancel each other out and no Beater rolls need to be made.
* If there are enough players to play each individual Beater on a team, one can be an Attacking Beater and the other can be a Defending Beater. The Attacking Beater functions like a normal Beater. The Defending Beater must choose a target on their team to defend from incoming bludgers. If the Defending Beater successfully guesses the target of the opposing Beaters, the bludger is blocked and disadvantage is not applied to the target's roll.

##### Beater Targets
| Opposing Position | Target's DC |
|:-----------------:|:-----------:|
| Chasers | 18 |
| Beaters | 15 |
| Keeper | 13 |
| Seeker | 16 |

\pagebreakNum

#### A Keeper's Role:
* A Keeper only comes into play if the opposing Chasers have bested the Defensive Chasers, earning a scoring chance. A Keeper must use Acrobatics in the skill contest with the Offensive Chasers, to successfully react, maneuver their broomstick, and reach for the quaffle.
#### A Seeker's Role:
* After 10 rounds have been completed, the snitch is released onto the pitch.
* Once the snitch has been released, each Seeker rolls a d20 at the beginning of each round. A Seeker must roll a 20 to spot the snitch, or a 19 or 20 if they're proficient in the Perception skill.
* If a Seeker spots the snitch, they can either initiate a Snitch Chase or pretend they didn't see it, in which case play continues as normal.
* If a Seeker gets a chance to catch the snitch in a Snitch Chase, the Seeker must succeed on a DC 18 Sleight of Hand check to catch it. 
* Before any roll to spot the snitch, a Seeker can decide to perform the Wronski Feint, initiating a false Snitch Chase. That Seeker must forgo their snitch roll that round.

### The Sequence of Play
#### Beginning of the match:
* A Chaser from each team rolls initiative to decide who starts with the quaffle.
#### Starting a Round
* The Chasers on each team secretly choose a maneuver, and the Beaters on each team secretly choose their targets (one maneuver and target per team).
* All of the chosen maneuvers and targets are revealed at once. The Beaters immediately roll their Athletics checks. If anyone is successfully targeted by a bludger, they suffer disadvantage on their roll. Based on the maneuvers chosen, the Chaser contest is affected by these outcomes:

**Offensive Maneuver Wins.** The offensive Chasers successfully bypass all of the defensive Chasers and automatically proceed to a scoring chance. The Chaser contest is skipped, and the Chasers gain advantage on the scoring chance.

**Chaser Maneuvers Tie.** The offensive Chasers gain advantage on the Chaser contest, and a Chaser from each team rolls.

**Defensive Maneuver Wins.** Neither team has advantage on the Chaser contest, and a Chaser from each team rolls.
#### If Offensive Chasers win the contest:
* The Chaser with the quaffle gets a scoring chance.
* The Chaser has a skill contest with the opposing Keeper.
* If the Chaser wins the skill contest, they score 10 points.
* The defending team takes possession of the quaffle, this round ends, and a new round begins.

\columnbreak
#### If Defensive Chasers win the contest, or if the Keeper wins the contest:
* The defensive team gains possession of the quaffle.
* This round ends and a new round begins.
#### If a Snitch Chase Begins
* The two Seekers participate in a Dexterity contest each round for the next three rounds.
* The initiating Seeker, the one who spotted the snitch, has advantage on the first Dexterity contest.
* The Seeker who won two out of three Dexterity contests is the first one to the snitch. They get two chances to catch it over the next two rounds. If they fail both chances, the other Seeker gets one chance the next round, or else the snitch loses both Seekers and the Snitch Chase ends.
* If the Snitch Chase was a Wronski Feint, there are no Dexterity contests. The initiating Seeker must succeed on a DC 15 Acrobatics check that round or else crash. If successful, the non-initiating Seeker must immediately succeed on a DC 20 Acrobatics check or else crash. If any Seeker crashes, they suffer disadvantage on their roll to spot the snitch for the following 5 rounds.
#### Ending the Match
* Once one of the Seekers catches the snitch, that team scores 150 points and the match ends.
* If the game is played without Seekers, the players can set a score limit (first to 100 points) or time limit (20 rounds) to determine when the match ends.

> ##### Variant: Snitch Point Value
> Catching the snitch is worth 50 points, to make the Chasers' scoring more meaningful.

### Variants for Different Party Sizes
The following types of quidditch allow you to play a friendly game, depending on how many PCs and NPCs are present. Two-a-side, three-a-side, and four-a-side games are typically played in someone's backyard with only a quaffle and maybe a bludger, while regulation quidditch matches are played on an official quidditch pitch with all four balls. Competitive settings like the Hogwarts Inter-House Quidditch Cup only use regulation quidditch rules.

# Chapter 8: Diagon Alley
Coming soon!

> As with any NPCs, the owners and attendants in the many wizarding shops of Diagon Alley are greatly dependent on the year your campaign takes place. Keep this in mind, and be aware of any times you may need to invent a descendant, ancestor, or replacement of the canon proprietor.

## The Leaky Cauldron
It's a small, grubby-looking pub and inn, with a bar and a number of tables in the shadows of the corners. In stark contrast to the dingy ground floor, there are some unexpectedly pleasant rooms upstairs where passing wizards and witches can stay for the night. These rooms are accessed by a handsome wooden staircase, and contain comfortable beds, highly polished oak furniture, a crackling fire which is always burning in the grate to welcome the visitor to their lodgings, and in certain cases, a talking mirror.

A rather old, scruffy woman stands behind the bar, cleaning a beer mug and paying little attention to you. A few patrons also dot the various tables, but none give you a second look.
## Apothecary
It's a fascinating shop this one, though said wonder came with a horrible smell, a mixture of bad eggs and rotted cabbages. Barrels of slimy... stuff stood on the floor. Jars of herbs, dried roots, and bright powders alike lined the walls. Bundles of feathers, strings of fangs, and snarled claws hung from the ceiling. The very definition of a potion-ingredient shop. The spry old man behind the counter smiles at you as you enter.

“Welcome! Young witches and wizards. The name is Harley Hemlock! What can I do for you today?”
## Concordia and Plunkett Musical Instruments
Upon walking in, the first thought in your mind is wow, this place is loud. Filled with the… somewhat chaotic noise of several self-playing instruments, you cannot help but admire the sheer number of products that are displayed around the store. Harps, lutes, bagpipes, you name it. At first you don't see an owner, until a young witch pops out from behind one of the large shelves.

\columnbreak
## Eeylops Owl Emporium
It's quite the dim shop compared to the others in Diagon Alley. Small in size, and filled with owls. Of course the latter should be obvious, considering you're in a store that sells owls. The rather old wizard that's currently feeding the owls in the cages just inside the window nods his head upon seeing you walk in
## Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour
For a wizard's ice cream parlour, this place seems rather similar to a Baskin Robbins. Colourful decorations, seats, tables… everything really. The only thing that actually separates it from muggle ice cream ships were the floating ice cream decorations around the area. The bearded wizard behind the counter offers a warm smile as you enter the shop.
## Flourish & Blott's
It's a rather… cramped establishment, with books piled high all over the store. Every shelf in sight was stacked to the ceiling with books that ranged in size from postage stamps in covers of silk, to those as large as paving stones bound in leather. There were books with peculiar symbols on them, and even a few with nothing in them at all. The only peculiar sight is a single shelf, which appears to be not only empty, but damaged.

A rather tired-looking wizard stands behind the counter in the back, saying nothing. Instead, he merely watches you as you peruse the bookstore.
## Gambol & Japes
The store is quite… colourful. Like someone had set off a party in a box in here. A huge variety of items stock the shelves around you, ranging from smoke bombs to fireworks all the way to what was described as headless hats. It makes you curious… but also a bit nervous at the same time. A white-bearded man sits behind the counter, intriguingly watching you.
## Gringott's
You approach a snowy-white building which towers over the nearby shops of Diagon Alley. A goblin adorned in a scarlet and gold uniform is stationed at the top of the white stone steps, standing beside the establishment's burnished bronze doors. As you walk inside, you come to face a pair of silver doors, with an inscribed warning:

Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn,
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.

A pair of goblins usher you through the elaborate threshold into a vast marble hall, wherein over a hundred goblins sit on high stools behind long counters. They go about their business, scribbling in large ledgers, weighing coins on brass scales, examining precious stones through eyeglasses. Many doors lead off the grand hall, and yet more goblins can be seen escorting people in and out of them.

You wait your turn in line for a goblin at a counter to summon you.

## Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions
The first thing you notice as you enter this shop is that every surface is covered in fabric. Whether it be the walls, the floor, even the tables and chairs. It was like the whole place is carpeted. A variety of differently coloured and designed robes hang from the walls and ceiling, as well as other accessories scattered around the store.

Upon seeing you walk in, the short witch who you can only guess is Madam Malkin smiles at you from across the shop.
## Magical Menagerie
The moment you open the door to this shop, you come to realize something: There is not that much room inside. Every inch of wall is hidden by cages. It is smelly and very loud because the occupants of these cages are all squeaking, squawking, jabbering or hissing. You know, the typical noises you would hear in a magical pet shop.

Before you even get a chance to look around, a rather eccentric-looking witch excitedly approaches you.
## Ollivander's
Now this is a messy shop if you have ever seen one. Multiple floors, shelves reaching from floor to the very top of the building, all filled very messily to the brim with a variety of sized boxes, presumably containing various kinds of wands. The shop appears to be empty, until you hear the sound of wheels, followed by a rolling ladder sliding across the shelves, containing a white-haired man, who, upon seeing you, slowly climes down.

\columnbreak
## Potage's Cauldron Shop
This shop is… quite unique compared to the others, such as the tower of cauldrons decorating the entrance. Everything inside appears to be about to collapse, which is not exactly reassuring as you enter. Dozens upon dozens of cauldrons not only lined the walls, but filled the entire room, creating a sort of maze of cauldrons through the store. You are not even able to see the counter, or an owner for that matter.
## Quality Quidditch Supplies and Broomstix
This shop is rather… sporty, though you suppose that makes sense, as this is where you buy broomsticks and Quidditch supplies, which of course, currently fill the area. You will find items ranging from Quidditch balls, to various models of brooms, to service kits, to uniforms and armour, and even safety belts. It's quite the popular place, even when compared to some of the other shops around.

You don't spot an owner, but there are several uniformed workers around to assist you if needed.
## Scribbulus Writing Instruments
A very fine establishment, smelling of fine ink and parchment. The scent is almost a bit overwhelming upon first entering. There is paper of all shapes and sizes around the room, a variety of colours of ink, including several bottles that appear to be changing colours.

An old, stern-looking witch sits behind the desk at the back, curiously eyeing the group of students that just wandered into her store, before returning to her writing.
## Second-Hand Robe Shop
A rather messy shop this one. Shelves filled the small room, each stacked to the brim with hand-me-down robes. Sure, they are definitely not as nice and pristine as those found in Madam Malkin's, but if you are tight on Galleons, they will certainly do. The young witch currently folding a set of robes offers a kind smile as you walk in before returning to her task.

## Knockturn Alley
Coming soon!
## Borgin & Burke's
This shop is quite large, dusty, and dimly lit from only the sunlight outside, with a large stone fireplace near the back. Trinkets and antiques of all shapes and sizes line the shelves and tables around the store. Such a variety that you're not even sure what the theme of this store is supposed to be.

Hearing a couple thumps from the floor above you, a shifty looking wizard walks down the stairs with a cage containing a monster book (levitated by his wand), and upon noticing a group of students in his store, narrows his eyes in suspicion.
