From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 7 Expertise
Ivy stared at his own attribute panel on the cover page of the Grimoire of Destruction and thought this was ridiculous.

When he first came to this world, he used the character in his game save file. At that time, the cheats had not come.

When he was fighting the demon dragon of Lanlock, the hang did not come.

But after being sealed in a crystal for a hundred years by out-of-control ancient magic, cheating actually happened?
This is so weird and makes no sense!
If he had to give a reason for this, Ivy could only think of Harry Potter.

He accepted the admission letter to Hogwarts on the same day as Ivy, and embarked on his own destiny in a cottage by the sea.

The established plot began to unfold, and therefore, Hang came to Ivy's side.

If there really is a destiny in this world, then Ivy must give it a middle finger.

But what was the point of saying all this? Ivy had yet to meet the Boy-Who-Lived, Voldemort's destined opponent.

But he knew very well that no matter how powerful Voldemort was, he was definitely no match for him.

Because even the demon dragon Lanlock who could easily change the terrain fell in his hands. How could a noseless bald man who held a small wooden stick and released green lasers be a match for the most powerful master of black magic in the world?
However, her body has not yet grown, and there are still many secrets in Hogwarts that have not been explored. Ivy will not rashly expose herself to Dumbledore's sight, so she destroyed the wand she relied on to release dark magic.

Now that he had obtained the Grimoire of Destruction, Ivy knew that he had new secrets to explore.

Let's all start with the Destruction Grimoire!

He gazed at his physical attributes.

Strength: 6 (minor penalty -2)

Agility: 8 (minor penalty -2)

Constitution: 10 (minor penalty -2)

Intelligence: 15 (Racial +1)

Wisdom: 14 (Racial +1)

Charisma: 17 (Racial +2)

刨除掉未成年带来的惩罚和种族带来的增益后，数字从高到低是15、14、13、12、10和8。

Ivy is very familiar with this set of numbers, which is a very common card opening attribute in the DND group.

The so-called DND is the abbreviation of a tabletop role-playing game, that is, Dungeons and Dragons. It has a very large world view, attracting countless players to participate in it in various ways.

If you want to play a DND group role-playing game, the most important first step is to find a few enemies... no, it is to create a character.

You can create his appearance, race, origin and past experiences by yourself, and then his occupation and attributes. There are three ways to determine the attributes of a character: dice roll based on face; fixed number allocation; and 27 purchase points method.

Each of the three methods has its own advantages. Throwing the dice is the most dependent on luck, has the greatest element of luck, and is also the most fun. Usually, just using this method to determine the attributes of a character is enough to make a group of friends laugh.

Why are they laughing? Of course they are laughing at the unlucky guy with the smallest total attribute. What else could it be?
This method relies on rolling four six-sided dice, and then taking the sum of the numbers on the three largest dice as the number of an attribute, that is, the best possibility is 18, and the worst possibility is 3. However, usually as long as it exceeds 12, it is considered a profit.

When Ivy was on Earth, he liked to use this method to determine character attributes, because he once cast a very amazing character attribute, which included three 18s, one 15, one 14 and one 12.

It's a bucket number that's almost full! This means that this character is very versatile and has many possibilities.

Therefore, in that game, Ivy controlled the bucket hero to kill all around, and he could kill gods and Buddhas. But it is sad that the bucket hero finally fell on an inconspicuous trap, hastily ending his life that was not even legendary. But this is also the essence of the game that must be tasted. At least Ivy once made the bucket hero kill very happily, and that's enough.

再来看第二种固定数字分配，就是将15、14、13、12、10和8六个固定数字任意分配到六项属性上，这是最均衡也是最平庸的一种分配方式，就是眼下艾维自己的属性分配。

As for the last one, the 27-point purchase method, it can create characters with extreme advantages and disadvantages, and is a widely used card opening method in video games. Because this method can take your teammates into consideration, allowing them to form a reasonable team that can cope with most situations through different combinations.

Although Ivy didn't use the luck roll method she wanted the most, her current attributes were pretty good. The most important thing was that Ivy's main attribute was high enough, which was the charm value as a wizard's spellcasting attribute.

In the world view of DND, spellcasters are restricted by spell slots and can only release spells that do not exceed the total number of spell slots every day. They are not like the wizards in Hogwarts who can cast spells at will, nor are they like the blue-bar wizards in video games who rely on some kind of resource bar to cast spells.

Although Ivy is still in the magical world of Harry Potter, the attribute panel provided by the Destruction Grimoire means a new path. Maybe in the future he can become immortal like the legendary wizard in the DND world view, and even gain power like a god.

And the last column of the attribute panel, that is, the expertise column, says "to be selected"! You should know that some expertise in the DND world view comes with attribute bonuses!

Coupled with Ivy's only trait - perfect multi-tasking, this means that he can obtain almost infinite expertise options. As long as time is long enough, he will definitely be a top-notch expert in the future!

Ivy tried to stretch out his finger and click on the expertise column, and as he expected, many options expanded out at once.

He confidently clicked on it and determined his first specialty - casting spells without materials.

For the many spells in DND, many of them require materials to be released.

For example, the first-level spell Colorful Spray requires a handful of sand or dust, which must contain the three primary colors of red, yellow, and blue. Higher-level spells require more things, and although this feat cannot avoid the money required for spells, it can reduce the troublesome material preparation.

Of course, the most important point is that Ivy had read many novels with DND background on Qidian Chinese website. Among them, the time travelers who took spellcasters as their main profession usually chose this specialty. This is also a tradition to some extent, right?
When Ivy was about to choose his second specialty, he suddenly realized that he didn't have any professional background in the DND world view.

The existing level 15 wizard and level 10 ancient magic wizard have only been compatible with the general framework of the attribute panel, but he himself cannot be considered a DND spellcaster.

Then the specialties he chose would be useless. Even the attribute bonuses might not be really useful, so there was no reason for him to be so anxious to choose specialties! At least he should have a first-level spellcaster class level, right?
