🎲 What You Need

- One d20 (20-sided die)
- One spellbook per player (20 spells)
- A way to track Health Points (20 HP)

Write you and your opponents chosen wizard names on the Battle Log. Under each name, put 20HP (Health Points). 

⚔️ How to Play

The goal of the game is to be the last player or team standing.

1. Start of Round:
  - Everyone rolls their d20 at the same time.
  - That number tells you what page (spell) in your Battle Book to cast from this round.

There is No turn order!

                 Rush or wait to declare attack!

2. Casting Spells:

- You must declare your attack by saying, “I cast ‘spell-name’ on ‘target’”
  - You can cast your spell at any player, at any time, once the d20s are rolled. 

- If multiple people declare in a short time, a queue is formed and must be followed in order of declaration. 

-You may attack once per turn, and each spell has a Cast Cost — If you roll for it, you must meet or beat the cost to cast to deal damage, OR you can cast without rolling to deal half the listed damage, rounded down, -1.

3. Dealing Damage:
  - If your spell cast roll succeeds, deal its listed damage and any applicable bonuses. If it misses, you deal no damage.

-If you cast without rolling, deal half the listed damage, rounded down, and -1.  (A spell that lists 7dmg would deal 2dmg.)
  - Bonus damage can’t be blocked.

If two or more players declare attack the same time:

- They must have a Quick Duel — each of them roll again.
  • Whoever rolls higher gets to cast.
  • The loser receives 1 unblockable damage and takes their turn after the winner.

🛡️ Defense Rules 

If you’re attacked, roll to defend:
- Roll 11 or less →  Take full damage
- Roll 12–15 →  Half Block (take half damage, rounded up)
- Roll 16-19 →  Full Block (no damage)
- Roll 20 → Parry (deal half of the incoming damage back at opponent)
- Bonus damage/effect from high rolls is never blocked or parried!

(Skip the defense mechanic for faster paced games)

🎲 Special Rolls

- Natural 1 → You take 1 damage, no matter when the 1 is rolled. Then          continue play using the 1 result.
- Natural 20 on cast → Your spell is unblockable
- Page 20 Spell → No cast cost. Deal damage equal to your roll!

- Natural 7 anytime during gameplay heals 3hp to player or teammate.

🔁 Rounds & Victory

- Once everyone has taken their turn and all effects are resolved, start a new round.
- Play rounds until only one player is left standing.

💔Health

Each Player starts with 20hp

When your HP is reduced to 0 or lower, you are dead.

Damage subtracts from your HP.     6 Damage -> -6 HP

Rolling a 7 during any part of gameplay heals 3 HP to the player or their teammate of choosing/

When you drop below 10 HP, your spellbook’s secret passive power activates!
