Yeah Greater Restoration is still Greater Restoration even if you have to use a wand to cast it.

Yes, and we want that spell. It removes all forms of insanity, thus we could heal Neville's parents with it.

EDIT - though it might be better to find a potion that can do that. It costs 500 XP to cast Greater Restoration.
EDIT 2 - Actually, apparently Heal will remove insanity as well. Or if that's not powerful enough, Limited Wish can remove insanity as well and costs 300 XP.

So just pointing this out but in D&D Bard is a Core Class. Same as Sorcerer. Also Monk should probably give martial arts, rather lethal martial arts at that...

If we pick up a supplement for psionic can we become a psion?

Also why haven't we been passively been using observe on everything? Its a free action right?

And why haven't we been using accidental magic more often? Once we get it to level ten we should pick up wandless magic in general at that point. Probably have spell cost more at that stage, and be limited to weak spellsm but it would be weak wandless magic so it could be ground.

Re: Bard ... You still aren't getting me to write songs. I don't hate you all enough for that.

As for psionics, no. You would get psionic abilities as spells, and/or points to occulmancy and legilmancy. But you aren't getting full on psionics, especially not with another resource to be tracked and all.


Re: Observe. Observe is an active skill. Yes, it's free to use, but you have to specify doing so(As you do to use any active skill. Passive skills like maintaining occulmancy, though not training and improving it, are automatic). And it's somewhat noticeable right now as you spend time staring at things for it.

Right now, accidental magic requires a time slot to train/use. Simply put, your Gamer's Mind ability prevents it from manifesting, as your emotions aren't wild enough for it anymore. You have to force yourself to feel emotions strongly enough for them to manifest as accidental magic.

Speaking of occlumency, how do we train that? Is it actively making an effort to build up mental defenses, or do we have to have someone try to read our mind and have us actively try to repel them?

We kind of need to build this skill up before we meet up with Snape or Dumbledore, in case they try to read our minds and find out about our bullshit powers. At the very least we need to be good enough that we'd know someone is trying to intrude, so they won't want to try it.

You can spend time training it like any other skill. Thanks to The Gamer letting you know when you gain ranks, you'd quickly figure out what works and what doesn't. In this case it's largely meditation. Clearing your mind, organizing memories. That sort of thing.

Bards are more usually the secondary healer of the party and act as the face of the party. Basically using their impressive charisma and diplomacy skill to get what they want done.

Okay guys we need to Observe everything. We may come off strange or even slow witted but I rather do that here in the mundane world then in the magical world.

Definitely put a slot of time in train our accidental magic. Its the first step to wandless magic, and we want wandless magic.

@Halpo133 Keep in mind, this is 1991 -- D&D 3.0 is about a decade away.

Valid point. It's simply what I'm best acquainted with. I could move toward using AD&D instead, though I'd have to dig my books out of the box they're in. It wouldn't change too terribly much. Fewer available classes, some different spells, but overall it wouldn't change much, since the mechanics, which were a huge change, aren't carrying over. Just abilities and spells being translated over by The Gamer power.

The best times to do it would be while doing chores, both for the Dursleys and for the neighborhood. Just doing it while people aren't watching and we're working should be good enough.

How about our version of Hogwart school song?.:rofl:
 
Oh man what was that D&D 1.0 class that could shank galactus in the showers with a rusty spoon?!
-edit-

Assassins. Those where bullshit.

Get both dummy books so we can stack any bonuses into the respective skill later. That's what happens when we get books from different sources that cover the same stuff but with different material. Getting martial arts up to 20 out of 100 would be great this early on!

Why are you not buying any books?
 
Excuse my lack of knowledge about the gamer, but how does the time in the dungeons we create compare to time outside the dungeons?

So leveling it up would involve constant use of it I'm guessing? Hmm... is there a limit to time dilation or are we looking at Goku esque training potential?

If by constant use you mean spamming ID Create/Escape over and over again... yes. IIRC, that's exactly how Han Jee-Han did it in the manhwa. Not sure about a limit but the last time I read it, the dilation was 1:6 or so. An hour out for every 6 in. Considering how completely broken the Gamer ability is, though, I wouldn't be surprised if higher levels had time chamber tier dilation.

[X] Try to use Observe but only at times were we wouldn't stand out

Changed a few things. I say we don't get the fencing book right now since it's pretty much useless for us (considering we don't actually have a sword or anything). For observe, I say it makes more sense to only observe at times when we wouldn't stand out. For example, no one would bat an eye at an 11 year old kid staring in wide eyed wonderment at pretty much every magical thing we come across for the first time, or anything else impressive. Times like that, or when everyone is distracted by something else, or if it's only us, are the best times to use observe since no one will realize that we aren't simply amazed at what we're seeing.

If we just observe absolutely everything with zero regard to how the public looks at us, then we can say goodbye to pretty much any chance at having a good reputation. Seeing us just gaping at absolutely everything will just make us look insane, and what's even worse is that having the Boy Who Lived title means that the bad reputation we get is doubled. Can we please be safe with observe? I'd rather not ruin the quest from the very beginning by having the general public think we're insane.

That just seems unfair. If we haven't kicked Voldy's ass by the end of the 4th year, I'll be pretty surprised.
