Has anyone played BitD in the Locke Lamora setting? I’m thinking about doing just that. I probably wouldn’t need to change much. Since there a no ghosts and the arcane is not something a scoundrel has any access to: Any idea how to replace Attune?

There is some supernatural stuff in the Gentleman Bastard series, so I think you could probably leave attune in with a little tweaking (that’s the easy option). Alternatively, it could be a luck-based thing? There are a lot of moments in that series where the protagonists get by on luck.
– Attune: When you attune, you tap into your sixth sense. You might get a gut feeling about a situation. You might try to understand or communicate with the supernatural. You might pray for a miracle. You could try to perceive beyond sight in order to better understand your situation (but Surveying might be better).
– Chance: When you chance it, you roll the dice of fate and hope for sheer good luck. You might jump out of an open window without a plan. You might utter a prayer to the Crooked Warden before diving into shark-infested water. You might improvise an elaborate lie without any preparation (although Sway might be better).
Tim Denee Both ideas are actually quite good! Thank you.
You could take the “one unique thing” concept from 13th Age and “Attune rating” becomes the number of times you can use it.
Check out my Disposable Heroes hack to see how I replaced Attune with a special action. It is on the supernatural section.
