Harry Potter Campaign

If you are a lover of Harry Potter then you really want to enrich almost every mythical game with shades of this world. With D&D, you can do that with your warlock. The warlock has almost the same spells that are used at Hogwarts.

There are times that before you can fine-tune the spells, you may have a little problem dealing with them. They may appear less powerful or at times easy to master - which leaves you at a disadvantage on multiplayer.

You also can tweak your wizard a bit to fit the bill of a wizard on Harry Potter.

Campaign Guide

Casting Spells - there are at least two ways that you can use to cast spells when you play D&D - this is the Harry Potter campaign.

P1

The first part of casting a spell, you’ll be more or less casting a spell by a Harry Potteresque wizard. Now to cast a spell here, it will be dependent on the difficulty of the spell.

It will also depend on the skill of the character you’re playing as. The dice modifier is basically dictated by the spell level. The more advanced the spell you’re trying to cast, the harder it will be to cast it in the end.

When it comes to time, you have one action to do it. It’s similar to when you launch an attack in the D&D rules. Before you set out on the spell, you have to take special consideration.

P2

Almost all the spells that you cast here require a ‘to hit’ roll, with only a few exceptions. If your target isn’t willing, you have to roll against your opponent’s value - their AC value.

If you cast a spell successfully, your opponent now gets a saving throw. And that throw will be DC value and will be adjusted in the card text. The text on the card text will then be used to reflect the value of the level of the spell.
