Call of Cthulhu
Jun. 16th, 2009 05:05 pmSince we adapted a CoC character last week for GURPS, this week we'll see about turning my GURPS: B5 character to CoC. Of course there are some..difficulties..in changing a future gay Japanese/Hawai'ian ex-Marine into a 1920s setting. But we'll see how it works out...
First stat generation. STR, CON, POW, DEX, APP: 3d6. SIZ, INT: 2d6+6. EDU: 3d6+3
I'm cheating a bit, by rolling first and then assigning numbers where I want, instead of just letting them go in order.
STR: 18, CON: 15, POW: 9, DEX: 13, APP:12
Got lucky on the next two.
SIZ: 18, INT: 17
EDU: 16
Starting SAN (Sanity) is POW x5. So 45. That could be bad in the long run...
Idea (INT x5), Luck (POW x5) and Know (EDU x5) are basically defaults for when you don't have a relevant skill. They're at 85, 45 and 80. Then you add STR + SIZ to figure out Damage bonus. Which, with Max being a big dude, gets him a +1d6...
Hit Points are (CON + SIZ)/2. A 16. His Mythos score is still at 99 to start. And his Magic Points equal POW, so 9...
A roll of 9 on d10 gives him $12,500 in starting funds. Looking over the basic occupations (I should have brought my 1920s sourcebook for a bigger list) I'll go with Foot Soldier. I'm not sure WHO he served with, but I still want a combat veteran. Starting Skills for Foot Soldier are Climb, Conceal, First Aid, Hide, Listen, Sneak, Rifle and Machine Gun. He gets EDU x20 skill points for those, so 320...
Climb:40 75
Conceal:15 50
First Aid:30 60
Listen:25 65
Sneak:10 90
Rifle:25 90
Machine Gun:15 55
He also gets personal interest skill points for any skills at INT x10. We'll give him Japanese equal to his native language (Hawai'in) at 80. And then split the remaining between English and Martial Arts at 40 each. Like the GURPS version he's studied Akido. In this case, from a friendly member of the Japanese side of his family...
Starting minimum age is EDU +6, for 22. I'll bump that a little to 25, which has no effect on anything. He's a big man. I'll say 6'3" and 275 lbs. I'll still leave him being gay, but thats just a role-playing choice...
