7th Sea Character Generator
7th Sea Character Generator
7th Sea Character Generator
This is, of course, a character generator for the 7th Sea RPG. The character creation rules are
copyrighted by AEG, and can be found in their books. This is just an automated version of those
rules. All elements thereof belong to Alderac Entertainment Group, and hopefully they won't sue a fan
who loves the game so much that he spent hours (and hours and hours) creating a faster way of
making characters.
Version Notes
Currently, this is what I refer to as version 1.0b of this workbook. The basic character generation
functions work, and all of the data from the books has been added in.
Additions/Changes
Version 1.0b adds the last information from the books, from Sidhe Book of Nightmares. I will be
adding the official material from the web site (Avalon accents, etc) later on.
When you select Language under Advantages, go to the column next to it to select the specific
language and Acquaintace or Literacy (if applicable).
Some advantages (like Dracheneisen or Sidhe Blood) have multiple parts. These are built using the
"Multipart Advantages" sheet. These are tallied into the main Character Builder, with the correct
Advantage selected there.

The "Chapter House Builder" sheet is used to create advantages such as Rose & Cross Houses,
Free Thinker Cells, Fencing Academies, and the like, to give Secret Society members a lair of their
own. Like multipart Advantages, this sheet is also tallied into the main Character Builder (provided the
Advantage is selected).
The "Reference" sheet contains page number references for all of the character's Advantages, Skills,
and whatnot, handy for quickly looking up anything you need to know.
Printing your character can be done from the Character Sheet. It takes all of the information from the
Character Builder and condenses it into a better-looking form that prints out on three pages. Hopefully
it doesn't hurt anyone's eyes too badly.
What's Next?
The first thing is to get my hands on a copy of the Sidhe Book of Nightmares, and add any remaining
information from it. After that, I'll probably spend quite a bit of time fixing any remaining bugs in the
system and attempting to add any additional features. Eventually, I might do a version 2.0, starting
over from scratch, using what I've learned in the process of endlessly revising this spreadsheet
(behind the scenes this one is a real mess).

Changes
All of the functions of version 1.0b remain intact.
However, there have been massive changes to the
program, and it has unfortunately become somewhat
crowded.
Interface Changes
Destiny Spread
Ok, this gets a bit tricky. Start with the character type &
nationality. Then, the question of nobility. For Eisen or
'Avalon', it doesn't matter here, but for Castille,
Montaigne, & Vodacce, it does. If you're noble, it'll give
you a spot to pick your noble family (2 for Castille). The
box to the right lists the effects.

Pidgin Languages
Pidgin A's go together, B's together, etc. Just group
them as you like.
Wealth
Any wealth coming from advantages is automatically
calculated. Note that many memberships do not give
an amount on their funding, so it will be zero. Variable
sources of income, such as Merchant funds and
inheritance, are not added.
Equipment
Printing
There are two ways to print the character. The first is in
excel format, found on the 'Character Sheet' tab. Hide
any rows not needed, and print.

Experience
This major program change allows you to track and
spend experience points on the character. To activate
it, select "no" on the "Starting Character" option at the
top. New options will appear throughout allowing you to
select whether an option is bought with HP or XP.
Ships
Building a ship is somewhat like building another
character, and has it's own screen. If multible
characters share the ship, build the ship for each
character and note how much of it they are paying.
Swordsman Schools
I've added a swordsman school generator on the last
page. Fill it out, and it will add in the school to the main
list on the builder page. Sorry, but only the most normal
types of schools are supported.
Sidhe Characters
Selecting Sidhe under Character Type applies the
appropriate limits on the character, and creates a new
Sidhe menu to the right of the advantages. These
selections will appear at the end of the character sheet.
Multi-part Sorceries
Some sorceries can combine to have unique effects.
This are listed under the second sorcery. In the case of
Carlos Sorcerers with 3 or 4 magics, the extra sorceries
are listed between the swordsman schools, and the
unique knacks near the skills. A new tally keeps track
of the sorcery points, so divide them as you like. Note
you will also need to fill out the Carl Native multipart

String
String is a way to archive a character in a very small file
size. It requires the use of this program to create the
character, and the string viewer program to view the
character. It also requires the use of a basic text editing
program, such as notepad.
Go to the String tab, hit ctrl-A to select all, then copy the
sheet and paste it into notepad. Save this notepad file
as your archive. To view the archive, open the String
Viewer file and the notepad file. Select all in notepad,
go to the string tab in the viewer, select square A1, and
paste. Then go to character sheet or the book sheets
to view the character.
Editing
Though many pages in this program are hidden or
protected, this is merely to prevent accidentally
breaking the program. There is no password on the
protection, so feel free to edit if you like.
Next Step
I'm not sure what's left right now. If there's something
you'd like to see added, let me know, and I'll get on it.
Let me know of any bugs you find too.
