The Duellist Academy

The one thing I have a bit of trouble with in Seventh Sea is the combat system. Dramatic and action sequences for anything else run great. I just can’t quite manage to make actual combat suit the way I tend to run. This is probably because I’m too entrenched in using First Edition, so I’ve combined the two here to offer a new way to run combat and brute squads.

If you fancy using this system, do everything you would usually do with Second Edition, but switch to this the moment anyone draws a blade. The only thing you need to change on the character sheet is how many wounds you can take before suffering a Dramatic Wound.

Essentially, this system takes the structure of the First Edition combat rules and refines it with the versitility of Second Edition mechanics. I’ve also taken the liberty of adding a few new options and actions for expanding combat.

Included within are:

Details on how to run Second Edition combat with the action turns system of First Edtition

Lots of new manoeuvres and combat actions to help make every combat swashbuckle.

A huge selection of duelling styles and advantages ready converted to the new system.

Rules for using Brutes, Villains and Monsters with this combat option

Convertion rules for 'Sharper than any Blade'

A few story hooks that add combat oppotunities to your game!
