Rules Modifications Considerations

Considering using some of the following modifications to the 7th Sea rules.

Let me know what you think and let me know if you can think of others.

I got most of these from the alderac.com/forums, 7th Sea tab.



 
Brutes and TR
-          Base XkX = TR
-          +1k0 for each additional Brute
-          Example: TR 4
o   1 Brute: 4k4; +2 Brutes = 6k4
 


Drama Dice Alternate (not sure if I’ll use because of Glamour Dice)
-       Start with 1 for every 10 Rep
o   Modify to Start with the above OR start with Drama Dice equal to lowest Trait, whichever is higher.
o   Villainous Reputation is maintained separately and adds to overall Reputation (but can only have 30 before becoming a Villain)
-         
Alt 2
o   Earn xp by SPENDING Drama Dice instead of saving them
-       

Alt 3
o   Spend a Drama Die once per Act (Game Session) to use an ability of Mastery 1 higher than you currently possess. Will not use this for Laerdom.  Maybe not for others.

§  Ex: If Apprentice Glamour, 1 Drama Dice lets you use 1 Adept ability. Same with Swordsman, etc.
 
Sorcery
Laerdom
-         You may Invoke any number of runes once per scene each (ignoring normal limitations). If you want to Invoke the same rune more than once in a scene you may do so by spending a Drama Die. Certain Runes may not fall under this.  Will discuss it
Note: You can still attempt to Invoke a Rune on multiple people at once using the rules. However, once the duration ends, you must spend a Drama Die to activate the SAME Rune again in the same scene.
-          You may attempt to Invoke Runes on other people.
 
 
Combat Options
 
Considering making Interupt Actions USED SPECIFICALLY TO ACTIVE DEFENSE only cost 1 Action Die instead of 2.  This is to promote people actually using Active Defense instead of never doing so.
