How to we level up luck?
Aside from point distribution, luck related activities like gambling (playing cards, slots, whatever) should presumably help grind it.
Thank you for the information
[X] Changing things would be preferable, but slowly.(+relationship with Hermione, keeps things subtle)
Best option in my mind.
[X] Yes
Why not?
[X] Set of Dungeons and Dragons books(100 pounds)
[X] Dummy's Guide to Ninjitsu(20 pounds)
[X] Dummy's Guide to Karate(20 pounds)
AD&D for the powa of hax. Ninjitsu and Karate for awesome. Ninjistu would presumably grant stealth, balance and mobility. All very useful for a wizard. As for Karate... Lock Moldyshorts in a wandbeam duel, and then kick him in the groin so hard all his hocrux die from the pain.
[X] Tell her everything.(Will result in closer scrutiny on number 4 Privet Drive. Luck may change outcome.)
Better not lie and get cought about that.
[X] Spend 5 points on Luk, 5 points on Int, and 5 points on Wis.
Meh, just copying what Enjou says.
[X] Try to use Observe but only at times were we wouldn't stand out
Because Enjou added that.

One thing enjou doesn't seem to understand is you never break up your purchases you focus instead on one or two stats only and grind the rest. Its more efficient and gives better long and short term results.
... So, question. If it creates a duplicate space with objects and everything, is there anything stopping Harry from casting ID create in the library at Hogwarts and eating all the duplicate books?
I mean, he has already expressed a willingness to abuse a system, and that certainly qualifies.
To be fair, it does cost the bulk of Harry's money. The cost should be commensurate to the benefit.

The things created by ID create aren't entirely real. A book taken down from the shelf would be lacking, the semblance of a book, but with no writing within it, so unable to act as a skill book. Loot dropped from monsters is different, as it's your Gamer ability acting to alter reality to create them. Because The Gamer is broken. As I've said. Repeatedly.
Fair enough. There goes the secondary plan of using an empty ID create to look for clues and stuff. But since I've got you reading, I might as well ask some more questions that will be relevant later.
Does physical location correspond with the location of the dungeon? Like if Harry were to use ID create in his bedroom, move through the dungeon to the kitchen and exit it, would he end up back in his bedroom, or would he exit in the kitchen?

If only I could have done things differently
So guys should we make a vote to switch titles for certain situations?
When we want to train in our skills we should switch to this to gain the most out of them.
As well as switch to 'The Boy Who Lived' title to get the most out of our social interactions. Remember Halpor said we have to be specific.

Physical location corresponds with location of the dungeon. I say that since in The Gamer comic a couple of characters entered time dialation and moved to the roof, and when it ended, they were still on the roof.
Those two are already set up. You don't need to worry about specifying when you use those. I meant when you gain a new title(say one that increases interaction with Creatures), you need to specify the situations that you'll use it in. But you don't need to worry about being specific about tiles you already have.
Ok, so just some notes for what should be our goals before getting to school should be...
- Grind Occlumency to a decent level. (will require a non-free action) We don't want people poking into our minds.
--Sub-goal/Munchkin Time: Grind Leglimency (can likely be done secretly when doing chores for the neighborhood as a free action - the nameless NPCs are fine targets with no defenses)
- Go back to Diagon Alley, get some more gold from our Vault, buy third year books and Lockhearte books.
--Sub-goal: Buy more books on potions? Also, buy a couple copies of Potion Ingredients and Their Reactions for Hermione and Neville so they can be better prepared for Snape's class, and warn them that Snape "seems pretty strict" so they should read it. Maybe get some extra ingredients as well.
- Finish grinding Observe. We just need to note to do this whenever there's an activity it can be done in without it being noticed.
- Grind Instant Dungeons to a decent level to start working towards time dilation. Just create empty ones, destroy them, and create again.
- Grind Accidental Magic so we can do it intentionally (possibly a good way to do this would be to create an empty ID and go around the Dursley house and force ourselves to be angry at their stuff - maybe go into their rooms and be angry about how big they are and how we shouldn't have been put in a cupboard) and start moving to wandless magic.
- Grind XP in Zombie dungeon.
--Sub-goal/Munchkin Time: Possibly grind Healing on top of Defense, as heal spells may do harm to Zombies. The D&D Cleric heal spells can damage undead.
General D&D spells we want:
- Spells that cure insanity to heal Neville's parents: Heal (may not be good enough, but is the lowest level spell that removes insanity), Greater Restoration, or Miracle down the Cleric path, or Limited Wish and Wish from the Sorceror/Wizard path. However, all of these except Heal cost XP under D&D rules. (whether that will convert to HP/Gamer mechanics is unknown) If Heal isn't good enough and XP is involved in the others, then we would definitely want to sneak in to heal them, as otherwise we'll have people clamoring for us to heal their loved ones when we can't always do it.
- Summon Monster (levels I-IX) - Because being able to summon monsters to aid us is awesome.
- Magic Missile - Kind of a bread and butter spell. It'll hit it's target no matter what, even if they're behind cover.
- Black Tentacles - I just like this spell, and it's good for area control. Kind of brutal, but still should be good against some opponents we'll face.
- Protection From Evil - Pretty basic spell, and not necessarily useful for us since we can resist mental effects already due to Gamers Mind, but we can possibly use it protect others from the Imperius Curse. (there's a pretty funny fanfic called Harry Potter and the Natural 20 where a D&D wizard comes to Hogwarts, and he can make amulets with this and sells them for a lot of money)
Also, I'm not sure what might be best, but we'll want a spell that can remove Voldy's soul bits from Horcruxes without destroying them. He used some powerful magic artifacts to make them, so it'd be good to not have to destroy them in the process of cleansing them.
I understand that, but I simply don't agree that we should pump so much into luck, especially given how many free rerolls the GM is giving us. Some yes, but not all of it. I can see putting some more into luck for now, but putting 15 full points there? No. I don't agree with that. As a wizard they should go primarily into Int and Wis primarily, as those will be our primary stats.
That said, do remember that the GM has stated that due to the grinded stats being attained completely separated from the based ones that we can't expect to grind stats as high and as quickly as they are in canon Gamer. As such investing some of our points into other stats isn't out of the question.

This is going to be so broken, especially once Harry gets Time Dilation up. So very broken. I love it.

If we read any star wars novelizations, we might gain access to a HP version of the force. So it'd probably be some kind of wandless magic passive effect that would provide boosts to certain actions, with higher skill levels branching into precognition.

I believe he's refering to the Japanese art of stealth and camouflage, not Naruto.

We've still got three more weeks, and time to do neighborhood chore/quests for money. Can still grind chores, and will look like the Dursley's are still making us do all the chores. It'll eventually come out that we're doing them on our own, we can just shrug and say, "Keeps them from getting angry again that the chores are piling up. Easier to deal with just to do them." As for the books... we don't have to spend all our earned money this week, besides, the Ninjutsu would compliment the rouge skill from the D&D books, and empty IDs for practicing spells, arts, and techniques in next story week. (Sneaking, casting... etc. ) Largely, the single skill Ninjutsu book purchase is for the IC to see if we can get physical skills from books. IC we're pretty new to this, and "OMG! *Glomp* " 'ing new skill books would be a knee jerk reaction. Like everyone is fond of saying, we've got gamer's mind now, the first thing we should think of when we see a physical skill book, is, 'can [our character] really learn the physical techniques of this physical skill?' (Kata's for fighting styles, hand/arm movements for crafting techs... etc. ) Also, we'll likely conclude "Well if [our character] can, might as well test it on an ability to defend myself... didn't Dudley say that ninjas were the ultimate fighters? This ninjutsu stuff sounds like something ninjas might use.'

Yep. Which is still ninjutsu. I just didn't notice I spelt it wrong.
Being a wizard is irrelevant to the discussion. We are a gamer first and foremost now. The fact that being a wizard is the quickest and easiest and most moral path to power available is just simple circumstance. It does not change the importance of picking a stat to focus on. Felix Felicis exists for a reason remember. We can easily train our other stats, skills, and abilities on our own but luck is an inherently hard to train stat. Remember that getting a stat up to 50 creates a special skill, the sooner we have those special skills the better since they make the character inherently broken.
We simply don't need the intelligence or wisdom stats to be all that high right now while we know that luck is something that we are using consistently at this time. It effects item drop rate and rarity drop rate as well as acting a general improvement to life quality so better luck now improves everything Harry is going through.
We can easily grind our stats up into the twenties but getting them to the fifty's as soon as possible necessitates level up points, points that you want to spread around and have us lose all focus.

GM already has us doing that for the titles we have. We'll have to specify for other titles later how we want them to be used automatically.

Disrespect the law, and you disrespect me.
Not sure about grinding legilimency. An invasion can be sensed by the invaded party, it can lead to some nasty consequences.
And we should probably grind our skills and spells a bit before grinding ID.
We've got a bunch of them, sure, but they are still at the very basic level.

Huh... you learn something new everyday.
Do we want to grind Oclumency/legilimency so soon? It'd be a pretty big give away if a skilled wizard isn't able to read a 11yr old's mind.
