The Power(Harry Potter/The Gamer)

Reader mode
So our first training with Mad Eye gave us:

[5 levels in perception gained]
[10 levels in defense gained]
[2 points dex gained]
[2 points vit gained]

While our 2nd,3rd and 4th gave us:

[Defense increased by 14]
[Perception increased by 20]
[Physical Endurance increased by 10]
[Vit increased by 1]
[Dex increased by 2]

Unless Mad Eye steps up the training we'll likely not see any increase in Vit and Dex.
Defense gain has gone down from 10 levels for one training to an average of 5 (which means that it'll lower than that next time). The likely level gain for defense was 7 levels for the 2nd time, 4,5 levels for the 3rd and 2,5 levels for the 4th.
Perception actually increased gain this week, but it'll eventually decline.

It might not be that likely for Mad Eye to step up the training, Harry is an 11 year old after all. Moody is not likely to cast cutting charms on Harry while Harry does squats so that he can improve his physical endurance faster while training Vit.

Maybe it's time to grind levels by killing zombies? Using Disillusionment, scent removal, sound dampening charm and smite evil for that extra stealth damage should be effective.

If we continue to train with Mad Eye we need to ask him to make the work out even harder.

Okay so here is a thought Nevels parents went crazy from them being tortured right? Why don't we ( or someone more experienced then us) wipe out their memories ( say to a Year before the events that drove them mad) their minds would do a system reboot using their last memories ( going to let Nevel and his grandma pick a good memory for them to latch onto) and be cured. they would have to come in for regular check ups to make sure the memory charm is still in place but it's better than their current state.

Or, even better idea! We'll just put them out of their misery and replace them with robots! Wizards still live in the stone age, so no one will be able to tell the difference. It's the perfect plan.
 
We need to train up our Physical Stats Manually, Training with Mad Eye is giving us negligable benefits to them, and we have reached the point of diminishing returns for defense training with him unless he steps it up, which is unlikely.

To that end I propose we train Karate with Weights on to get our physical stats up to acceptable levels and focus on charms and transfiguration next.

I would be frankly amazed if he did not have a persistent shield against things like bullets given how often he targets Muggles.

I doubt he goes himself, plus it's likely that any muggle hunting is done ambush style. He also probably doesn't target people with guns, which in Britain would be policemen, underworld figures, and farmers out in the country, and even then aside from the farmers, only some cops and criminals carry.

Guns are not rare artifacts in Europe. Law enforcement does carry such on occasion if not automatically like in the US. For that matter he is a Half-Blood and lived through the Blitz. He knows Muggle weapons are dangerous and he fears death above all else.

So he knows there are these lethal Muggle items and takes pains to avoid them but he makes no arcane effort to defend himself against such? That seems like a large oversight from a man who is terrified of dieing and is willing to go to insane lengths to avoid it.

It seems like par for the course for a man who is so overconfident of his success that he doesn't see the need, which he very much is. . .
 
To deal with Voldemort, we must obviously dual wield bananas. When he's busy dueling Dumbledore, we can throw the peels under his feet.

I doubt a man as arrogant as Voldemort has any wards to counter banana peels.

:Citation Needed: on overconfidence. He is actually very careful against things he deems dangerous after his resurrection, working from the shadows and subverting the institutions of the Wizarding world.

He seems very overconfident just from his dialogue. . .plus his actions show a reckless disregard for his own safety, leading from the front in the department of mysteries for example, where every auror AND dumbledore can get to him in seconds.

Well of course he wants to project an aura of invulnerability. That is part of his mistique

You have to remember this is a being that can Disaparate at a moment's notice. What is reckless for a regular person is not the same thing as what is reckless for a wizard with at-will near-instant teleportation.

ummm these our wizards common sense may not apply to them. they could be operating under the idea that the insanity is a curse rather than a psychological affliction.

Please don't flanderize Wizards into idiots. They default to using magical solutions because magical solutions is what they're used to. If a solution to something like Cruciatus insanity were a memory charm, they would have done it already, because it's an obvious magical solution.

Instead of assuming they are a race of idiots, assume that they operate under different logic than we do. Assume there is internal logical consistency instead of falling into the Mighty Muggle cliche.

To be fair to Voldemort, he probably feels comfortable doing that because he can take them. For all we know, he's undergone rituals that make him pretty much immune to all kinds of harmful spells. There's bound to be reason why the only spell that seems to do him harm is AK... and even then, it's his own AK that does it.

Plus there is the Word of God explanation that every Horcrux he made drove him further and further insane to the point where he doesn't think rationally anymore and allows anger to dictate his actions.

True but something like an anti-gun defense would not have to be a new development. As I mentioned before T. M. Riddle lived through World War Two so he would have known to defend himself against bullets since his youth when guns would have been much more prevalent because of the larger numbers of Muggle soldiers out and about.

He was in an orphanage till the age of 11 when dumbledore came to take him to Hogwarts. 11 year old orphans typically don't take gun defense courses. . .
