Anything that doesn’t fit these concepts should be reskinned as syrneth artifacts or something else entirely (fey or devai crafted items? Gifts from the Jok, Bonsam, or a living god? ).Ī copy of Ghosts of Saltmarsh will be a must for the naval combat rules! Alternatively, you can grab a copy of the playtest rules or your favorite variant of the DM’s Guild.Īnd there you have it. Potions are alchemy or hexenwerk (Castille, Eisen). Magical weapons and armor are Dracheneisen, Zahmeireen, or even Nacht, (if you want to bring those back into play). This is a nice option to keep in your toolbox, but easily ignored.
If you have the 4th edition, you could do worse than adapt the Minion rules (for brute squads).Some easy options would be to allow classes to add their Proficiency bonus to AC, and/or perhaps double to Dex bonus as it applies to AC. While there isn’t an option in the DMG, I believe there are house ruled variants available. You’ll want to disassociate armor worn from Armor Class. Use the Hero Point option from the DMG (pg.Use the Firearms and Explosives rules from the DMG (pg. If you are feeling ambitious, you can use the National Trait bonuses from the 7th Sea rules to create similar National Attribute bonuses, or you can just ignore that and just use the standard human racial template easily enough. But it would be easier (and less abrasive to players) to just keep it as is. You can ditch the class by moving some of its “turn undead” capabilities to the wizard’s necromancy school for Hexenwerk. The priest class doesn’t really make sense in 7th Sea, but has an important role in D&D. You’ll need to make a decision about the priest class.Here is the list I sketched out some time ago in my handy GM Notebook: Castille, Eisen, and Vestenmanavenjar would all be wizards.). Avalon, Ussura, and the Commonwealth would all be Warlocks. Likewise, certain magical classes fit those styles of magic better (Montaigne and Vodacce magic users are Sorcerers, since their magic is inherent to bloodlines. (ie, Montaigne, Conjuration (which includes Teleportation) Vodacce, Divination etc.). Each nation specializes in one or two schools of magic. If you are okay with that, then here is my very simple (but untested) recipe for doing so:ĭitch the 7th Sea national sorceries. The trick is in finding a compromise between the 7th Sea setting (a vast pastiche of 17th century earth) and the implied setting of D&D. So easy, in fact, you could be playing tomorrow night! But if you want to run a Dungeons and Dragons game set in the world of 7th Sea, well there I can help you.
In fact, I think you are just setting yourself up for a lot of work without much of a payoff. Let me say this upfront: if you are looking to run a 7th Sea game using the 5e rules, this post is not going to be very helpful. I’ve long been considering a blog post on this topic but a post on reddit forced my hand. Hell, I’d play! I’ve even devoted some brainpower to it. Sacrilege?!? Heresy?!? Maybe, but it could also be a lot of fun. Let’s just cut to the quick: you want to run a D&D game, but you want to use the 7th Sea setting. What’s that you say? You’re intrigued by the world of 7th Sea, but balk at the game system? It’s too handwavy? Too diceless? Too narrative? Too Wick? Besides, your players’ eyes glaze over anytime someone mentions a game that doesn’t have “Dungeons and Dragons” on the cover.
