You have two more credits for James. It can be anything. As for Johann, you are -98? or two more credits. As for inventory, I don't want God modding, so a debatable limit should be set.

Where should we go?
I was actually considering on changing the connection between the students. Every school they derive from has a charity for a study abroad world trip. One student (Lydia) will have the map and they must all meet . From there they can choose to stay together or break up, etc. [/quote]

I might give Johann some non-verbal magic, then. I certainly don't want to give James too much because weaker characters are far more interesting to play. I have no idea, though, what equipment James is likely to keep with him. Rest assured that he won't have anything too exciting, though.

I think the system by which the gang gets together currently works pretty well. Johann would be a later addition, but ultimately all the students would know one another from school anyway. Perhaps the Charity Burbage Foundation sponsors the journey itself and not the students, so they have a communal pool of money rather than 3000 galleons each (which seems like a lot anyway!) and maybe there should be an understanding that they are a group and a gentlemen's agreement that they should stick together? I think the more drive they have as a group, the more stressful and dramatic and interesting it'll be when the shit inevitably hits the fan.

Imperfectionist: I have a sneaky feeling Johann and Emma are either going to get on like a house on fire or, more likely, violently hate one another (at least to begin with). Apart from anything else, they'll likely be the best duellists by a long shot and I'll be surprised if they don't end up testing each other out. Seems like Emma has the more pragmaticky, creative magic, which Johann just has a ridiculous tonne of raw power and no fear of using the dark arts. Long-term, I think Emma presents an opportunity for Johann to become a bit less closed-minded but, in the meantime, we all have a hulking dickwad to look forward to. :P
