Athletics

The Athletics Aptitude represents a characters

physical prowess. The skills attributed to Athletics
are Combat (Physical Fighting), General Athletics
(climbing, running and flying on a broom) and
ones ability to play Quidditch.

Knowledge

The Knowledge Aptitude reflects a characters

ability to absorb and reference information. The
skills attributed to Knowledge are Library Use,
Observation, knowledge of Quidditch and the
majority of magical subjects from Astronomy to
Muggle Studies.

Skills
Skills reveal a characters versatility. Each Aptitude
score represents the number of points players can
designate to their related skills. A wizard with an
Athletics Aptitude Score of +3 would then have 3
points to assign to their Combat, General Athletics
and Quidditch skills.
For example, Morgan sets her
Knowledge Aptitude Score to +4.
She may then divide-up those 4
points between Library Use,
Observation, Quidditch and
Magical Subjects.

Intrigue

The Intrigue Aptitude reveals a characters abilities

in the social arena. The skills attributed to Intrigue
are Allure, Bluff, Eavesdrop & Gossip, Ingratiate,
Prank and Sneak.

Students are sorted into

one of four houses, each

bearing the last name of
its founder:
Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena
Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin

Ravenclaw

Character Creation

I solemnly swear I am
up to no good.
Marauders Map
Secret Password

It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than

our abilities. Albus Dumbledore

In Broomstix and Kauldronz each student is

defined by four Aptitudes: Athletics, Knowledge,
Intrigue and Magic. New Player Characters recieve
5 Aptitude Points (AP) to create their character.
Athletics, Knowledge and Intrigue start at 0 while
Magic starts at +1. Players may take a negative (-1)
in any one Aptitude to recieve an extra AP.
Once the score is set for each Aptitude, the Player
may then designate that number of points to their
related skills. See the Skills section on the next
page for more information.

Magic

The Magic Aptitude directly affects a characters

spell-casting ability. It is the only Aptitude that
cannot be raised with AP. The Magic Aptitude
score directly reflects the characters level of
education (+1 per year).
The schools of magic attributed to the Magic
Aptitude are Charms, Defense Against the Dark
Arts, Divination, Potions and Transfiguration.

Athletics Skills

Athletics skills deal with strength, speed,

coordination and overall physical fitness. They are
divided into two main skills (Combat and
General Athletics), with a third category reserved
for Quidditch.

Combat

Physical conflict should be uncommon but

sometimes a wand just wont cut it. A general
Combat roll is made when engaging in physical
combat and then modified by bonuses or penalties
associated with specific actions.

Brawl - Fight without using Magic

Dodge - Avoid being Hit
Throw - Toss or lob an Object
Trip - Unbalance and topple a Foe

Character Creation

Aptitudes & Skills

General Athletics

Physical activities such as climbing, running

and swimming as well as flying on creatures and
brooms are attributed to the General Athletics.

Balance - Move across narrow Surfaces

Climb - Move across vertical Surfaces
Fly - Movement through Air
Run - Speed and Stamina
Swim - Movement through Water

Aptitudes & Skills

Knowledge Skills

Knowledge skills deal with facts, figures, names

and dates. Most Knowledges can be found in a
properly-equipped library. When researching
Muggle Studies in a library, take note that a
Wizard library will have much less available than
a Muggle library. Similarly, a Muggle Library
will have almost no useful information about the
world of Magic.

The ancient study of the magical properties of

numbers.

Astronomy

History of Magic delves into both ancient and

modern magical history, famous figures and
note worthy events.

Muggle Studies

Class taken by wizarding folk to study

non-magical people.

Intrigue Skills

Intrigue skills deal with subterfuge, deception,

stealth and persuasion - skills in which members
of House Slytherin excel.
Using your personal magnetism and charm to
convince others to do what you want.

Library Use

This skill represents a characters ability to research

and retain information using a library.

This skill represents a characters observation skills

and measures their levels of perception.

Quidditch

This skill directly relates to a characters

knowledge concerning the game of Quidditch, its
history as well as game strategies and tactics.

Arithmancy

History of Magic

Allure

Observation

Although people rarely died playing Quidditch, referees had

been known to vanish and turn up months later in the Sahara
Desert. Quidditch Through the Ages

The study of ancient scripts, sigils and hieroglyphs.

Care of Magical
Creatures

Quidditch skills gage your ability to play this

popular magical sport. These are broken down
into the four categories listed below. The rules of
the game and how these skills are used will be
outlined later in this guide.
Defense - Ability to play Defensively
Maneuvar - Ability to perform Tricks
Offense - Ability to play Offensively
Survey - Ability to locate the Snitch

Ancient Runes

The study of the heavens and celestial bodies.

Strategy & Tactics - Known Tactics

Magical Subjects

This skill represents a characters understanding of

the soft-magic subjects taught at Hogwarts.

A hands-on class where students learn about the

habits of magical creatures and how to care for
them.

Herbology

Herbology is the study of

magical plants and fungi,
including how to care for
them and use their magical
properties. Some magical
plants form important
ingredients in potions,
others have magical effects
on their own.

There she was, just walking by... you know how I like it when
they walk... Ronald Weasley

Eavesdrop & Gossip

Eavesdrop measures your ability to spy on others

without them noticing while gossip is used
primarily when spreading information, passing
notes, using codes or innuendo and separating fact
from rumor.

Aptitudes & Skills

Character Creation

Wands

Ingratiate

Also known as brown-nosing, this is the art of

flattery and sucking up to adults and older kids.

Divination

Prank

This skill reflects your ability to pull off pranks and

practical jokes successfully without getting caught.

Wands are essential tools for all witches and

wizards. The four main attributes of a wand are the
core material, wood, length and flexibility. These
attributes reflect the witch or wizard and each
wand is unique. Choose the perfect wand for your
character from the options outlined below.
The wand chooses the wizard... its not
always clear why. Garrick Ollivander

Sneak

The ability to move silently and stealthily so as to

not be noticed.

Magic Skills

I must warn you at the outset that if you do not have the
Sight, there is very little I will be able to teach you.
Sybill Trelawney

Magic skills include the ability

to cast various kinds of spells,
brew potions, use divination to
foresee the future and defensive
techniques against the
Dark Arts.

The magical art of foretelling the future through

the use of various magical objects and methods.
The following are examples of Divination: Tea
Leaf Reading, Crystal Ball Gazing, Palm Reading,
Rune Casting and Tarot. Not all are convinced that
Divination is a legitimate magical practice.

Charms

Charms are a type of magic

concerned with enchanting
or conjuring an object.
Charm spells are in some
ways the opposite of Curses:
many Charms seem to have
an inherently positive tone while
Curses have an inherently negative one.

Defense Against the Dark Arts

Potions

The study of various potions and

elixers as well as how to brew them.
Known recipes are added to the
list of brews.

(DADA)

Magic lessons that teach students how to defend

themselves against evil creatures and the workings
of Dark Wizards and Witches.
Curse/Counter - Hexes, Jinxes & Counter-Spells
Dueling - Duels between Wizards and Witches

Transfiguration

Transfiguration is magic
which changes one
object into another.
It is possible to change
inanimate objects into
animate ones and vice versa.
Some Transfiguration spells alter
only a part of something, such as changing a
persons ears from normal into rabbit ears.

Wand Wood

Crafted from a variety of trees, the wood of a wand

defines its characteristics. The wood gives a bonus
to specific Aptitude Scores.

Wand Length & Flexibility

Wand Core

Wands measure between 8 and 16 in

increments of .25. Wand flexibility ranges from
rigid to swishy and reflect the owners nature. The
more flexible the wand, the more adaptable its
owner and vice versa.

At the heart of every wand is the core material. It

is the core material that gives the wand its
personality and magical qualities. The wand core
gives a bonus and penalty to the specific types of
Magic that reflect the cores nature.

School Supplies

Familiars & Brooms

Aside from their wand, there are other essential

items a student needs to be successful at
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy. All
mandatory school supplies can be purchased from
the various shops in Diagon Alley.

Wizard Money
Currency in the wizarding Britain consists of three
different coins. In decreasing order of value, they
are: Galleon, Sickle and Knut.
Galleons (g)

Sickles (s)
Knuts (k)

First-Year students begin with 150g (300g for

Wealthy Characters). The standard set of school
equipment costs approximately 75g.

Uniform & Clothing

Additional Equipment

Familiars or Pets

Brooms

In addition to bringing quills, ink and parchment

students are also expected to bring the following
items:

All students are permitted to bring a familiar with

them to the school. Accepted familiars are toads,
rats, cats and owls. Owls are
the most expensive but
come in handy when the
student needs to deliver
a message. Students
without owl familiars of
their own may use public
post-owls for mailing
documents. Cats are great
companions while Rats
and Toads are perfect for
Tranfiguration practice.

A personal broomstick is necessary for flying

instruction and also for playing Quidditch. Some
broomsticks are built for endurance or for
comfort. The most expensive ones are built for
speed and agility. First-Year students are not
permitted to bring their own brooms.

1 Cauldron (Pewter, Size 2)

1 Set Glass or Crystal Phials
1 Telescope
1 Set of Brass Scales

Textbooks
Every student is required to purchase a number
of textbooks to coincide with their courses. Used
textbooks cost about half as much as new books
and usually come with their own annotations and
pre-underlined passages.
Unfortunately, theyre not
quite as sturdy as new
books and may feature
such unpleasant
features as rippedout pages or blackedout sentences.

Every student must purchase two sets of robes;

one for normal use, one for formal occassions.

How to Play

Using Skills

Using Spells

To use a skill, roll a d20 and add the associated

Skill Score as well as any bonuses or penalties that
apply. Consult the following table to determine the
outcome of the dice roll.
>0

Bludge

Couldnt have done worse!

1-5

Flop

Failed, couldve been worse.

6-10

Bumbling Success

Succeed in spite of yourself.

11-19

Success

You did it!

20<

Brilliant Success

Success beyond expectations!

Even if the result is not a Success, SOMETHING

should happen. Bumbling Successes should be
somewhat comical, Flops should be disappointing
(but not stop the action outright) and Bludges
should provide for VERY interesting
complications. Of course, one Brilliant Success
should make up for all the bad die rolls.
For example: James, a third-year, is late to class. He
runs to the classroom and decides to sneak in to
avoid loosing points for Gryfinndor. James rolls a
d20 and adds his Sneak Skill Score (+2) for a total
of 5, a Flop! Halfway to his desk, James trips on his
shoelaces and falls on his face with a loud thump.
The other students laugh and James is scolded by
the professor but no house points are lost. Most
likely to save him from further embarassment.

Opposed Skills

If the character is being directly opposed by

someone or something, then the opposing skill
score becomes a negative modifier to the
characters die roll.
For example: Thomas is being chased by a troll. To
out-run the troll, Thomas rolls, adds his General
Athletics (+3) and his bonus to run (+2) for a total
of 14. He then adds the trolls modifier (-4) for a
final result of 10. Thomas manages to escape with
little more than a nasty leg cramp.
<
12

How to Play

The follow skills are Opposed Skills: Combat,

General Athletics, Quidditch, Observation, Bluff
and Sneak.

Combat and Injury

Combat is performed like any other skill. Roll a

d20, add the Combat Skill Score and any
applicable bonuses or penalties as well as the
opposing modifier score to learn the results of
your actions. If injured, actions may suffer
additional penalties until the character has
recovered or is healed.
Players should be warned prior to engaging their
character in behavior that may result in potentially
fatal injuries or magical afflictions.

Hasty Manuevers
Usually, actions are resolved in order of the skill
involved. However, if you need to perform your
action first you can take a -3 penalty on your roll.

Brewing and Mastering Potions

In order to brew a potion, the Player must have
first learned the recipe and added it to their list
of brews. Once the ingredients are collected, the
Player rolls and adds their Potions Skill Score and
any associated bonuses or penalties. If the potion
is brewed as a Success or better, the Player may
fill in a Master box associated with that brew.
Once all Master boxes have been filled in, the
brewing of that potion is done with a +2 bonus.
Potions brewed in class are considered practice
and do not count toward mastery.

In order to cast a spell, the Player must have first

learned the spell and added it to their spells list.
When casting a spell, the Player says the name of
the spell and then rolls a d20, adding the Magic
Aptitude Score and any bonuses or penalties that
apply.
For example: Lilly, a first-year student, is
attempting to transfigure her rat Whitechin into a
goblet. She has learned how to perform this spell
in her Transfiguration class and has added it to her
spells list. Lilly says Vera Verto! and rolls a d20
with a result of 4. Lilly then adds her Magic
Aptitude Score of +1 which brings her result to 5, a
Flop. Poor Whitechin.

Casting Defensively

Rather than casting offensively, a combatant can

attempt to counter an incoming spell. If the spell
being countered is known by the defender, their
attempt to counter is granted a +1 bonus (+2 if
Mastered). Performing a counter-spell is the same
as casting a spell except if the roll result is higher
than the roll for the incoming spell, it is
successfully deflected and the defender then has
the upperhand.

When a combatant has the upperhand,

their opponent can only cast defensively
until they gain the upperhand or combat


is resolved.

However, Lillys wand is made from Holly with a

Dragon Heart-String core which gives her an
additional +2 bonus. Also, casting spells with her
rat grants her an additional +1 bonus to spells of
this type. These modifiers bring Lillys result up to a
8, a Bumbling Success. It may have fur but its a cup!

Wizards duel. Wands

only no contact.
Draco Malfoy

Dueling

A duel is a confrontation between two or more

wizards or witches. The combatants attempt to
disarm, injure, or kill each other in order to force
submission, and thus a winner is decided.
Opponents are only permitted to use magical
means of combat.
Each combatant attempts to cast a spell on the
other by reciting the spell and rolling a d20. If
both are successful, the spells collide and fizzle
out. If only one succeeds, their spell hits.
To get a jump on their opponent, a Player can
choose to cast their spell in haste at a -3 penalty.
If they succeed, their spell hits first unless their
opponent also succeeds in casting a hasty spell or
counter-spell in which case standard rules apply.

Unfamiliar or Broken Wands

Casting with an unfamiliar wand is done at -2.

Casting with a broken wand is done at -4 and will
result in a mishap if the result is 5 or lower.
Casting without a wand is nearly impossible but
may be attempted at a -10 to the roll.

Mastering Spells

When a spell is cast as a Success or better the

Player may fill in one of the Master boxes
associated with that spell. Once all five Master
boxes have been filled in the casting of that spell
is done with a +4 bonus. Spells successfully cast
while in class are considered practice and do not
count toward mastery.

How to Play

Quidditch
Quidditch is a wizarding sport played on
broomsticks. It is the most popular game among
wizards and witches, and, according to Rubeus
Hagrid, the equivalent to Muggles passion for
football.
The game is played by two teams of seven people
(three Chasers, two Beaters, one Keeper, and one
Seeker) and involves four balls (a Quaffle, two
Bludgers, and a Golden Snitch).

Player Positions

The Keeper guards the goal posts, while the three

Chasers score goals with the Quaffle by tossing it
into one of the opposing teams three goal posts.
The two Beaters keep the Bludgers away from their
team and hit the Bludgers towards the opposing
team, and the Seeker catches the Golden Snitch to
end the game.
Each position grants associated bonuses:


Beater & Keeper (Defense & Maneuver+1)

Chaser (Offense & Maneuver +1)

Seeker (Survey & Maneuver +1)

Strategy & Flow

Prior to a match or during a time-out, the team
Captain may make a Knowledge Quidditch check,
adding their Strategy & Tactics bonus, to gain a
+1 to all checks made for 5 rounds after planning.
This is only granted if the check is a Success or
Brilliant Success.
During play, skills checks are made by rolling a
d20 and adding the Quidditch skill score and any
bonuses or penalties. Each round every player can
perform an action. Keepers are only required to
act when attempting to block an incoming shot.
<
14

How to Play

Advancement & Achievements

Scoring Points
Chasers must roll at least a Bumbling Success to
attempt to score with the Quaffle. A Chaser may
attempt a Maneuver check to recieve a +1 bonus to
score that round. If attempts to score or perform a
Maneuver fail, the control of the Quaffle is lost. A
successful score earns that team 10 points.
The Keeper needs to match or exceed an opposing
Chasers skill check to block a shot, adding their
Defense bonus. Alternatively the Keeper may
attempt to perform a Maneuver to block a shot but
cannot add their Defense bonus.
Beaters keep the Bludgers away from their teams
Chasers and Seeker. Unless blocked, both Bludgers
will get to attack the Chasers and Seeker. To block
a Bludger, a Beater rolls and adds their Defense
bonus. If the result is a Bumbling Success, one
Bludger is deflected toward the other team. A
Success deflects both Bludgers while a Brilliant
Success sends both Bludgers in the direction of the
other teams Seeker.
In order to catch the Snitch the Seeker must roll a
Brilliant Success. If the Seeker first rolls Success or
higher to Survey for the Snitch they are granted a
+1 bonus to capture the Snitch that round.
If attacked by a Bludger, the Seeker must roll a
Fly skill check to avoid the assault or loose their
chance to snatch the Snitch that round. If attacked
by both Bludgers and unable to avoid being hit,
the Seeker is out for the next round of play.
Reaching 250 points or capturing the Snitch will
end the match.
Final standings in the competition for the House
Cup are based on the total amount of points won
over all matches played, rather than the number of
victories.

Throughout the game Players may earn House

Points (HP) by acomplishing various tasks or
performing above and beyond expectation. Those
House Points may then be used to purchase rewards and claim achievements. A word of caution
to rule breakers; House Points may be taken away
as easily as they are given, tread with care.
Each year the Players Magic aptitude score increases by +1. They also recieve an additional
point to increase one of their remaining three
aptitudes.
Players may also spend their collected House
Points to gain additional aptitude points.

150 House Points = +1 to any Aptitude

Achievements

House Points can also be used to claim various

titles known as achievements. All achievements
have prerequisits that must be satisfied prior to
claiming an achievement. Each achievement is
unique and grants bonuses to specific skills.
Achievements may only be purchased at the end
of each school year.
