The Power(Harry Potter/The Gamer)

we should grind intelligence\wisdow by playing chess with someone.
or we could just study regular studying. He does get some int doing that (And wisdom for coming up with ideas on how to break the system).

Anyways, I just finished reading the translated comic on manga traders. Apparently canonically he dumps all his stat points into int because of diminishing returns. Since its easier to raise STR from 10 to 11 than it is to raise it from 50 to 51, so by raising low stats you are losing out on easily grinding

Fortunately we don't have to deal with that. The points that can be gained through grinding of stats are completely separate from those that are spent, and they're just as easy or hard to gain when the base stat is high as they are when the base stat is low.

Just so you know, it's been mentioned a few times that it doesn't work like that here. Halpo didn't want to use that system to prevent the inevitable hoarding of stat points ("Will use them when we can't grind them anymore!").

Edit:

Speaking of which. :p

He's never really tested that. Just assumed it to be the case. Seems like a safe assumption, and one we would go with, if it wasn't for Halpo straight up saying that won't be the case here.
 
Are you serious?
Resurrection - Never heard of Inferius? Or the stone (One of the three hallows)?
Combat spells - Have you seen the Dumbledore VS Voldemort fight?
Time Magic - Don't know if you are trolling. Did you read the books? Prisoner of Askaban?
And that only of things that are 100% confirmed by the books.

If you think that zombies and shades are the same as true resurrection...

AOE Combat spells, not one-on-one. Dumbledore vs V is impressive and all, but nothing in HP begins to match things like control weather, earthquake, incendiary cloud, etc.

Time magic - I am differentiating between what spells people can cast vs effects magic items can produce. AD&D has time stop and temporal stasis. HP doesn't have any comparable spells - they only have time turners.
 
the wis stats doesn't affect only chess. it affects the ability to make good decisions and tatical thinking. as for int, jee-han is enough proof of the why gain more of it.
chess is int. which is memorizing, thinking speed, and solving puzzles.
Wisdom is making the right choice.

ah, that is good to know. thank you for informing me. a smart improvement. I think the main reason it works that way in the manga is that it gives him an excuse to break things more. Also, a big part of the setting is that he is actually not as broken as it seems at first glance, there are others that are as broken as he is. The ability to have items "drop" from IDs is a rare one, but not unheard of. and there are many with bullshit cheat ability like "I consume the soul and thus steal all the power of anyone I kill".

Your post is accurate. I just want to mention though that Time stop is actually a misnomer, it is a haste effect, it accelerates the caster to such an extreme degree that it seems to him as if the rest of the world is frozen in place.

Wis is arguably related to chess more than Int is, as it's a game of planning your moves ahead of time which falls under Wis. While in the real world things are more complicated, the Gamer boils things down to a much more simple level. Of course, it could be both, as the two stats synergize in some situations, so Int might help with chess, but I would bet that it grinds Wis rather than Int.

Another example of this type of synergy might be Vit and Str - doing pushups will grind Str, but having high Vit will allow you to do pushups for longer.
 
An Omake for this Quest

A Weird day.


December 18, 1991

Hogwarts, Scotland (or Wherever is Hogwarts), Earth.

Harry Potter was enjoying his student life in Hogwarts, he enjoyed studying, Quidditch, and hanging with his friends, though he did not like the jinxed broom, or the Troll, but he never expected this from his Gamer powers.

-Special announcement Alert!

Christmas time is nearing and a special quest line is now available until New Year, during these days you will not be able to create your normal ID, so enjoy your quests, and Holidays; also special monsters will appear in this special Christmas ID, it is optional to slay these monsters but you will lose their special gifts and one new thing?.

-Quest Alerts!

Is coming to town.

Get all the packages around Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, a map and a special radio will be given to you to help you find the packages, the packages will not appear if you are not near them.

Completion reward: 1000 exp. Christmas monsters can be fought in the Special ID.

Completion Failure: nothing, the quest line is broken, ????.

-Quest Alerts!

Harry Potter could only say one thing after he received the news and the new set of clothes:

What the fuck?, and later told the message what if he did not wanted to do this, he received several electric shocks.


Harry's days could not be harder, while the packages he needed to collect where around Hogwarts, most where in zones where the Students could not enter, or were in the other House's common rooms, but in the end he finally managed to collect all of them, so he decided to enter to the special ID. He found; Gingerbread men, Christmas lights that only move, Snowmen, and Christmas elves, and every of them were aggressive.Well time to hunt.

-Sometime later-
D: Oh, Harry these cookies are very good.
M: What do they have?
H: It's a secret.

Afraid I'm going to have to skip an update tonight. Family has come by demanding I join them for a family dinner. Might do an update when I get back, depending on how much I have to drink and how tired I am.
 
Might as well proof it for you. Red are words that you spelled wrong, Blue is for added words, punctuation, and what-not that makes it better.

Even if planning your moves ahead of time was normally be wis, in chess specifically it would still be int due to the nature of the game. It relies very strongly on memory and calculation speed.
