What is Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition?
Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition is a horror investigation roleplaying game based on H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. Players take on the roles of Investigators, ordinary people who uncover cosmic horrors beyond human comprehension. As you investigate mysteries, your character's Sanity slowly erodes, skills improve through use, and the line between reality and madness blurs.
How Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition works
Character creation in Call of Cthulhu starts with choosing an Occupation. From Antiquarian to Private Investigator, each occupation provides specific skill bonuses and starting equipment. Roll or assign your nine Characteristics: STR, CON, POW, DEX, APP, SIZ, Luck (3d6×5 each), and INT and EDU (2d6+6×5 each). Calculate derived stats: HP = (CON+SIZ)/10, Sanity = POW (current and maximum), MP = floor(POW/5).
