DIFFERENCES FROM
TORG E TO TORG 5E?
Important: Please note that this is a
conversion between two systems; you will
still need access to the core rule books. For
anything not defined in here for 5e, you
will need the Players Handbook, Monster
Manual, etc. Likewise, you will need the
Torg Eternity core rulebook for details on
each cosm and explanations of in-genre
effects, such as what a Reality Zone is.
Torg Eternity is an excellent system and a
lot of love has gone into it, but what if the
rules are just not for you or you don’t want to
teach your table a whole new set of rules?
This is a 5e compatible conversion of Torg
Eternity that you can just pick up and play.
It’s true that you lose some of the subtleties
of Torg Eternity but in return you get a
system that your players may well already be
familiar with.
So what is new, what has been kept and
what has had to be dropped?
New: A lot of the bonuses, penalties and
card play of Torg are replaced by the 5e
Advantage/Disadvantage die mechanic.
Backgrounds now do a lot of the heavy
lifting for defining a character.
Kept: Contradictions, mishaps and
transformations all still remain central to the
game; it wouldn’t really be Torg without
them.
Dropped: The Bonus chart and card play are
the biggest casualties of the change of
system, though it would probably not be too
hard for a GM to incorporate the card play.
The difference between Vigor and Wounds is
also an unfortunate casualty but 5e has a
robust damage and healing system of its own
so hopefully you won’t feel that loss to
severely.
Perhaps the biggest single change that
players will see initially is that not every
class, and certainly not every race, is
intended to be available to characters from
every cosm. The standard is that the chosen
cosm also limits the choice of class. Of
course, the GM is free to allow any class to
any character they wish, there are plenty of
examples in the Torg canon, but monks will
generally be more common in Pan Pacifica,
clerics in the Cyberpapacy and barbarians in
the Living Land, for instance.
SPECIFIC CHANGES
Torg and 5e as systems both share distant
ancestors, which allows for some simple
conversions. Bounded difficulty classes in 5e,
rather than getting harder as a character
levels up, also make the converters life easier.
Difficulty Classes/Bonuses
Just use the DCs and bonuses in Torg
without converting. A penalty can be
deducted from the die roll or added directly
to the DC as a positive number.
E.G. Buying a long sword has a Torg value
of 10 but if you are trying to buy one in the
Cyberpapacy, where they are rare, the
penalty is -4, the DC of the Charisma
(Persuasion) check would be either 14 (base
10 + 4 penalty) or if you prefer, a DC of 10
with a -4 penalty to the players attempt.
Advantage/Disadvantage
These can be applied as normal in 5e but if
you see something listed in Torg as Favored,
it indicates that the roll is made with
advantage.
E.G. a modern first aid kit in Torg allows the
First Aid check to be Favored. In 5e, this
translates to a Wisdom (Medicine) check
made with Advantage.

STEP 3: CHOOSE A CLASS
Not every class is suitable for every cosm
but again, that is up to your GM. Being a
cleric of Rek Stalek might suit your concept
of your Living Land character rather than
being a druid of Lanala.
Additional Perks
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th,
12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase
one ability score of your choice by 2, or you
can increase two ability scores of your choice
by 1*. As normal, you can't increase an ability
score above 20 using this feature. You also
get to choose a new Perk at this level.
*Can be replaced with a feat choice from the
5e standard rules if the GM allows.
CHANGES TO CLASSES
Many of the classes require only cosmetic
changes in terms of their feature names to
make them suitable for Torg. Only the
sorcerer has any suggested changes.
Barbarian
Commonly encountered as Vikings in Aysle,
the barbarian can be used as is.
Bard
There are no Bardic Colleges as such in
Torg; characters can choose to be from any
available ‘college’ but that only represents
choices they make whilst learning their trade
rather than membership of a specific group.
Cleric
The standard gods of 5e do not, of course,
exist in Torg so the player should choose
something suitable such as Lanala in the
Living Land or the One True Way in the
Cyberpapacy.
Druid
There are no specific rules changes
applicable to the druid.
Fighter
The fighter is one of the most ubiquitous
types of characters and, apart from having an
increased range of weapons to choose from,
don’t require any changes.
Monk
Monks are most commonly from those
cosms that support cinematic martial arts but
otherwise have no changes.
Paladin
Most commonly from Aysle, where Good
and Evil choices can have dramatic effects on
your character, the Paladin requires no
changes.
Ranger
Again, the ranger can be used as they are in
Torg.
Rogue
Though their abilities can now encompass
technological devices such as electronic locks
and the like, the rogue can be used as
written.
Sorcerer
The sorcerer fulfills two niche areas in this
conversion of Torg. With the right choices of
spells, they can either be Pulp Heroes in the
Nile Empire or, by restricting themselves to
mental and/or telekinetic/pyrokinetic effects,
can make excellent psychics for Tharkold.
Mechanically, they require no changes.
Warlock
While it is suggested that they be limited to
only a few of the cosms, warlocks can be
used unchanged mechanically.
Wizard
The wizard, in those cosms that support
high level magic, can be used unchanged.

 BACKGROUNDS

Customizing a Background
You can choose a background from the 5e
Players Guide or any other source that your
GM allows or simply design your own.
To design your own background:
1. First, choose a feature.
 Tweak an existing feature or
 Replace one feature with any
other published feature or
 Work with your GM to create
a new feature. Any feature
that has a use in combat is too
powerful and should be
disallowed.
2. Next, choose any two suitable skills to
represent experience in the
background.
3. Choose any two tool proficiencies or
languages (or one of each) for your
background.
4. Spend your coin on gear as described
in the equipment section to represent
starting equipment.
5. Finally, choose two personality traits,
one ideal, one bond, and one flaw.
There are primarily for flavor and
should reflect your character’s
personality. You can work them out
with your GM and list them
individually on your character sheet
or write them up as a character
background story.

EQUIPMENT
in 5e, the minimum strength required would
be 15. A Boilerplate Hauberk has a Max Dex
CONVERTING EQUIPMENT of 6, so in 5e that would equate to 9.

Prices
The prices in the Torg Core Rules; to convert
dollar prices in Torg to 5e, treat a dollar as 1
silver piece. This is, of course, not exact but
should be close enough for most purposes.
E.G. A longsword in Torg is $120; the price
in 5e would be 120SP (or 12GP).
The easiest way to do this for equipment
listed in the Torg rules is to convert the
characters’ money to dollars (by multiplying
by 10) and then spend the dollars directly on
Torg equipment.
Armor
Armor Classes are converted based on their
type.
Fatigues
If armor is the cause of fatigue, the character
suffers a level of exhaustion which is
removed after a short rest.
Torso/Full Body
If an armor is listed as Torso, it has
weakness against area effect attacks, such as
fireballs. If an armor is listed as Full Body, it
has resistance against area effect attacks.
DAMAGE
Melee weapons
Each +1 damage in Torg translates to a die
step in 5e, starting at +1 for 1d4

If an armor says that it adds to your dodge

the dice start at value 10.

E.G. a shortbow in Torg is value 11, doing

Short Burst/Long Burst etc.
5e doesn’t commonly have the concept of
automatic fire and Torg increases the damage
by increasing the bonus to hit and so the
chance for bonus damage.
To accommodate both of those styles, a
character using burst fire can choose to either
add the bonus to hit (page 125, Torg Core
Rules) to the chance to hit because they are
spraying bullets randomly at the target
(‘hosing’ it) or add the bonus to damage, to
simulate more controlled, concentrated fire.
The player must choose one or the other
before they roll the dice to attack.
from your starting funds and a weight of 8lb.
The Torso disadvantage gives you weakness
against area effect attacks.
Weapons
You character later obtains an electric
katana. The Torg damage bonus is +4 so the
weapon does 1d10 base damage and costs
$500. It has armor piercing 2 so all ACs are
counted as 2 less against this weapon.
Later, in the Cyberpapacy, you obtain a
GWI Godfire Plasma. The damage is 16, so
2D8 in 5e, and uses the small blast tempate.
This means that instead of rolling to hit, the
target (and anyone the target is engagesd
with) must make a Reflex save, taking half
damage on a successful save.

VALUE
Equipment in Torg has a value in
parentheses after the price to represent the
difficulty of obtaining an item; these values
can be used as they are in 5e, providing the
DC for a Charisma (Persuasion) check,
modified by the Item Availabilty chart (page
139, Torg Core Rules).
This mechanic can also be used when
requesting equipment from the Delphi
Council.

EQUIPMENT EXAMPLES

Armor
Your Edeinos character is wearing bone
armor. The Torg bonus is +1 and it has the
Torso disadvantage, making this a light
armor. You decide to equate that armor to
padded armor in 5e, which also has a
disadvantge. This gives your character an AC
of 11 + Dex mod, a cost of $50 in Torg (5GP
converted to dollars is also $50 but the GM )
