7th Sea Chargen

[Leitz]

Begin with 100 Hero Points, and a 1 in all Traits (Brawn, Finesse, Resolve, Wits, Panache)

1. Heroes may buy up to a 3 in a trait, for 8 points per Trait point. Thus a Brawn 2 costs 8, and Brawn 3 costs another 8, for a total of 16.
1.1. Heroes get 1 free Trait point, that may take a trait up to 4. The bonus point is based on nationality of birth:
- England, Russia +1 Resolve
- Spain +1 Finesse
- Germany +1 Brawn
- France +1 Panache
- Netherlands, Italy +1 Wits

3. Heroes may buy skills (full list: https://silver-gateway.com/7sea/master- ... kills.html)
- Generally cost 2 points per skill (see Academy and University above).
- You buy the Skill once, and usually get all basic Knacks under the skill at level 1.
- Additional ranks in basic Knacks cost 1 point.
- Ranks in Advanced Knacks cost 3 points.
- Ranks in Knacks are the additional number of dice you roll.
- If you see a skill you want, let me know. I'll post the basic and advanced Knacks.

4. Equipment: We're not going to be picky here. If you have a weapon skill, you have the weapon. You're on a ship, so that limits what you can have.

5. Stories: Tell me about your character.

[Leitz]

I'll keep a list of Skills, and their Knacks here. In general, if you buy a Skill then you get all Basic Knacks at Level 1 and Advanced Knacks at Level 0.

Also note on Knacks; two characters could have exactly the same Skill, but spend points on Knacks differently, and come up with vastly contrasting characters. Advantages can help with this, too.
