Rules

Classcraft is a role playing game that is played in the classroom. The goal of the game is to acquire real powers and to transform the classroom into an adventure. Players team up against the class, defeating monsters (homework) and bosses (exams). In Classcraft, players have a class, experience points (XP), hit points (HP), action points (AP) and power points (PP).

Leveling up

A player gains experience points when he accomplishes certain tasks. Examples of such tasks are listed in the table below.

Action	XP
Finding a mistake in the class notes	50
For each point above 70% in an exam	20
Giving the proper answer to a question in class	60
Helping another student with his classwork	75
Helping another player by using one’s powers	5/AP
Being positive and hard-working for the duration of a class	100

For every 1000 XP points a player gains, he will level up and gain 1 PP, which he will be able to spend to buy powers. The cost of these powers are listed in the table below.

Tier	Cost
Tier 1	1 PP
Tier 2	2 PP
Tier 3	3 PP

A pact drawn in blood

Players who play Classcraft cannot cease playing. Moreover, they must respect all the decisions of the game master.

Life…

A player loses HP if he fails to accomplish certain tasks. Examples of such tasks are listed in the table below.

Action	HP
Arriving late	10
Disrupting the class	5
Arguing with the game master	10
Being negative or slacking off during class	20
Not being done the homework of the previous class	30
For each point below 60% in an exam	5

Players can only regain HP by using powers, but gain 4 AP per day.

… and Death

When a player reaches 0 HP, he can be revived by a priest. Failure to do so results in death. The player must then roll the Death Die and suffer the penalty shown on the die. The possible penalties are :

Nothing
Saturday-morning detention
Copying a text
10 min less to complete the next exam
5 min less to complete the next exam
1 day less to hand in the following paper

The player will then come back to life with 1 HP. When a player dies, all the players in his team suffer 10 damage. A player who dies following this team penalty does not make his team suffer this penalty again.

Classes & Powers

In Classcraft, students are divided into teams of 5 or 6. They then strategically pick a class so that their team is well balanced. The available classes are the healer, the mage and the warrior. Players can only interact with members of the team.
