7th Sea – Quality of Life Improvements
A lightweight and modular Quality of Life (QoL) enhancement module for the 7th Sea Second Edition system on Foundry VTT.
This project focuses on improving usability, streamlining gameplay, and fixing several long‑standing issues in the base system — all without altering core mechanics or introducing automation that breaks the original design philosophy.

Features
Initiative Tracker
A custom, resizable, and draggable initiative tracker designed specifically for 7th Sea’s Raise‑based action economy.
- Track Player Characters, Heroes, Villains, Monsters, and Brutes
- Add actors via drag‑and‑drop
- Modify initiative values with +1 / −1 buttons
- Automatic sorting (non‑Brutes first, Brutes last)
- Reset options
- Fully localized UI
Chat Integration
The module restores and enhances the “Add to Initiative” button inside roll messages.
- Works for all actor types
- Automatically updates the tracker if the actor is already present
- Localizable notification messages
Dramatic Wounds Helpers
The module provides small but impactful helpers around Dramatic Wounds, aimed at clarity rather than automation overload.
- Visual and/or structural support for tracking Dramatic Wounds on relevant actors
- Consistent access to Dramatic Wound state during scenes
- Designed to complement, not replace, the GM’s narrative control
Villain Skill Rank Helper
A small but extremely useful enhancement for Villain sheets. The module automatically displays the Skill Rank derived from the Villain’s Strength No data is modified on the actor
- Fully localized
- Can be enabled/disabled from module settings
- Updates automatically when the sheet is rendered
Enhanced Description Rendering (UUID Links & Inline Rolls)
The 7th Sea 2E system does not enrich item descriptions by default, meaning UUID links and inline rolls appear as plain text. This module adds a safe, non‑intrusive enhancement layer that:
- Converts @UUID[…] references into clickable links
- Enables inline rolls ([[1d10]]) inside item descriptions
- Preserves TinyMCE editing
- Does not alter stored data
- Works on all item types and actors
This dramatically improves cross‑referencing between rules, notes, advantages, sorcery, and custom content.
Sorte Lashes Helper
A dedicated quality‑of‑life enhancement for Vodacce Strega characters using the Sorte sorcery. When an actor possesses at least one Sorcery item with sorctype: "sorte" and is of type Player Character or Hero, the module automatically adds a compact and intuitive Lashes tracker to the Sorcery tab of the actor sheet.
- Large, accessible +1 / –1 counter
- Includes an expandable rules summary describing how Lashes work in 7th Sea 2E
- Non‑intrusive: appears only for characters who actually use Sorte
- Designed to complement the GM’s narrative control without automating consequences
Localization Support
All module strings are fully localizable.
