Okay, here's how a normal War would work:
The board host posts:
Plot: We're fighting over the Cookies of Win.
Objective: Seize the cookie jar of Win, or kill all players on the other team at least once.
Respawns: On. Respawn location is the Gryffindor common room for Team A, and the Slytherin common room for Team B.
Mutation: On. Mutation allowed every 5 posts.
Reincarnation: On.
Additional rules: No characters from any genres other than Harry Potter or Twilight. No unforgivable curses.
Setting: The War Room is set up to look like Hogwarts. The Cookies are in Dumbledore's office. Use any aspects of the school you remember from the book to your advantage, except secret passages.
Let's break this down:
Plot: If the war has a story behind it, this would be that story.
Objective: What you need to do to win.
Respawns: If On, anyone who dies will reappear in a set location. Location must be specified in the Respawn line. If Off, death kicks your character out of the war.
Mutation: If On, you can change your character's powers and/or appearance. Usually there's a limit to this, like only being able to mutate every 5 posts, but if no limit is set, you can do it once a post. If Off, you can't mutate at all. (This doesn't include reincarnation, which follows it's own rules)
Reincarnation: If On, you are allowed to use mutation, but ONLY when you die and respawn.
Additional rules: Any other rules.
Setting: Where the War takes place, and which aspects of the surroundings you can use to your advantage.
Characters that are too powerful should be reported to mods.
Mostly, the point of this board is to have fun, so do so!
