Proposal Wand Bonuses

[Trot]

In the books wands were described as good for charm work or good for transfiguration. In order to incorporate this I propose we give wands a small boast in an area to the wielder about ten points. For example if your wand is good for charm work your character gets +10 to charm proficiency if enough people and the admin agree we might be able to see a little thought in the choice of wand as from what I understand it is decided form the type of wood so for those interested this site http://pottermorespoilers.tumblr.com...306/wand-woods shows the types of wand woods and the bonuses they offer.

I don't know if this is the best way, but I'd like them to have a greater impact on the game yes.

"Whenever I meet one who carries a cedar wand, I find strength of character and unusual loyalty. My father, Gervaise Ollivander, used always to say, ‘you will never fool the cedar carrier,’ and I agree: the cedar wand finds its perfect home where there is perspicacity and perception. I would go further than my father, however, in saying that I have never yet met the owner of a cedar wand whom I would care to cross, especially if harm is done to those of whom they are fond. The witch or wizard who is well-matched with cedar carries the potential to be a frightening adversary, which often comes as a shock to those who have thoughtlessly challenged them."

I made a good choice.

Don't be sloppy with you're sources.

That wand core list is very small, in my opinion.

[Dirty Chai]

I was thinking that too. It seems a bit strange; they wrote it as if those are the only possible wand cores.
You'd think a ton more substances would have effects as wand cores.

[Narf]

It is from the author. Who are we to try and question the one who made the one that make the wands? (Ollivander)

[Raglan]

its a nice idea, but i don't know. Seems its getting into the realm of overly complicated.

[Narf]

Raglan there is no such thing ^^ Oh.. Yeah those words always made me and Stilldawn unpopular. Should I learn to be silent?

[Lord William]

I was thinking perhaps the mods should control the wands being sold so that the rarer wands remain rare

[Narf]

Good idea. Though I just want a Walnut wand with Unicorn Hair core. Doesn't seem unusual, so I've just written it already.

[Raglan]

well it depends on how its done narf. If its limited to the core, then it would be simple enough, but if you have to start choosing cores, and words, and lengths and flexibility and stuff then it gets far more complicated.

besides, from reading the books you kinda get the impression that most wands work if they like or, are less reliable if they don't. All the other stuff is more flavour than importance from my take of the books (with the exception of course of the elder wand)

[Narf]

I find them to be of great importance, While I think we should just add the "stats" as people acquire the wands instead of making a list of them all right away. I also think the wands bonus should be hidden for all but mods so that people still chose them from the list cuz of the wands personality. We as mods will then add hidden quirks and stuff the different wands. Hidden.

As to its importance, it IS important because the Author says so. It is her that wrote that list. And it states many things of great significance to the wands.

Getting bonuses simply by having something that you get for free seems a bit unbalanced. Skill rewards are set by RP, and since everyone gets a wand it seems needless to just give away free points for what kind of wand you have. Then people are going to want dual core or dual wood and take double the bonuses etc. Its simply bound to happen. We will eventually reach a point where proficiency points won't matter to the vast majority and willpower will be the big deal.

[Narf]

I like the Idea of personal wands, chosen from the three links, no duelshizzle or bending of the rules. Just those mentioned in the links. Stats and effects from each wand will be different and secret and over time you'll get to know you're wand and maybe figure out what it does, both good and/or bad.

It is truly simple.

Wand Bonuses : Actual bonuses still a work in progress. But with the wand core, wand wood, and other bonuses, should be hidden from the players and have a degree of difficulty to them, so a high bonus wand should not be easy to master without good roleplaying and effort to do such. The bonuses will not exceed +5 for the hardest wands to master(you only get the bonus at checkpoints on your way to mastering the wand, recieving the full bonus upon completion) and +1 is the minimum for easy to master wands. Requires rp to get the bonuses and makes the wands a bit more than flavor text/roleplaying.

A wip idea, but my small opinion.

If you guys can come up with a good idea I wouldn't be opposed to implementing it
