I am so tempted to join.
Question, though: What's the update schedule likely to be like?

[Neonivek]

The first five numbers you arrange by: Strength, Constitution, Dexterity, Power, and Appearance.
The next three numbers are your: Size, Intelligence, and Education. Same thing goes
The last number is your luck
You can arrange the numbers however you like, so long as they are part of the same set.

This is the Array for Tomasque.

But I am open to ideas. and alternatives.

Stupid me...

A 25 year old drifter who heard he was (for some reason) part of his will.

Got it. Let me find Drifter

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Drifter
As opposed to someone who is poverty-stricken, the drifter’s
wandering life is chosen, perhaps compensating for a social,
philosophical, or economic lack, or perhaps taken due to a
desire to break free of societal constraints.
The drifter takes jobs, sometimes for days or months,
however he or she is disposed to solve problems with the
answer of mobility and isolation, not comfort and intimacy.
The life of the road might seem especially American, but
the same sort of life is chosen wherever travel itself is not
systematically dangerous.
Occupation Skill Points: EDU Χ 2 + (APPΧ 2 or DEX
Χ 2 or STR Χ 2)
Credit Rating: 0–5
Suggested Contacts: Other hobos, a few Friendly railroad
guards, soft touches in numerous towns.
Skills: Climb, Jump, Listen, Navigate, one interpersonal skill
(Charm, Fast Talk, Intimidate, or Persuade), Stealth,
any two other skills as personal or era specialties.

I've got my crunch rolled up. How are we handling possessions, wealth, &c.?

Spoiler: Brief summary: (click to show/hide)

My character's a dilettante. She attended university for six years and left without a degree. More recently, she's made numerous trips to Africa to poach big game with a Sou'frican friend she made on a safari hunt legally only, yes sir, no criminal activity here! She's a great-granddaughter of the Old Man. We didn't have exact ages, so I guesstimated--she's 29. Her paternal grandmother was one of his daughters who married a moonshiner; they went legit after the end of Prohibition and founded a proper brewery, did quite well for themselves.

[Neonivek]

It is determined by your Credit rating to an extent.

I want you to stick to your "Cash" when it comes to what you bring unless it is an asset (like a car).

But for what you have on this trip, I want it written out because once you are there... your not going to go back to your house for your uzi.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Dilettante
Dilettantes are self-supporting, living off an inheritance,
trust fund, or some other source of income that
does not require them to work. Usually the dilettante
has enough money that specialist financial advisers are
needed to take care of it.
Probably well educated, though not necessarily accomplished
in anything. Money frees the dilettante to be eccentric
and outspoken.
The dilettante has had plenty of time to learn how to be
charming and sophisticated; what else has been done with
that free time is likely to betray the dilettante’s true character
and interests.
Occupation Skill Points: EDU Χ 2 + APP Χ 2
Credit Rating: 50–99
Suggested Contacts: Variable, but usually people of a
similar background and tastes, fraternal organizations,
bohemian circles, high society at large.
Skills: Art/Craft (Any), Firearms, Other Language, Ride,
one interpersonal skill (Charm, Fast Talk, Intimidate,
or Persuade), any three other skills as personal
or era specialties.

The guy is going to be 80. I'll start writing soon so people can get a gist.

Bit first

Reading the Job!
-Occupation Skill points: This is how many skill points a job gives you. You MUST put it in the skills given to you by your occupation (but this includes Credit Rating).
-Credit Rating: How many occupation skill points MUST go towards credit rating.
-Suggested Contacts: This is just ideas for the background creation.
-Skills: The Occupation skills

In fact get ready I am going to write the Tutorial!

[Neonivek]

Making a Character

There are Six steps to making a character in this game

1) Determine Statistics
2) Determine your age
3) Chose an Occupation
4) Assign your Skills
5) Chose a Background
6) Equipment (though 5 and 6 are interchangeable)

I'll go through this one by one

1) Determine Statistics

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Now when I give you an array you will see a bunch of numbers

65, 45, 40, 30 25 (80, 70, 55) -75

The first Five numbers are assigned to an attribute of your choice between: Strength, Constitution, Dexterity, Power, and Appearance
The Next three numbers are the same but are chosen between: Size, Education, and Intelligence
The final number of Luck and, because it is alone, cannot be chosen.

When you finalize them you will also want to achieve the "Half" and "Fifth" of them, rounded down. I will explain why in a future tutorial.

The attributes are mostly self-explanatory but let me go over them one by one.

-Strength: Your physical strength, if you ever need to push, pull, or lift something this will tend to be what you will use.
-Constitution: Your health, vigor, and stamina. If you are poisoned, exhausted, or dangerously injured it might call for a constitution roll
-Dexterity: Your agility, reflexes, and flexibility. Picking up something on the run or squeezing through a tight passage might call for a dexterity roll. This also Directly determines your initiative.
-Power: Your willpower, magic resistance, and magical power. Resisting torture, preventing yourself from being possessed, or casting a spell might call for a Power roll.
-Appearance: Your allure, beauty, and just darn rugged charms. People are more naturally attracted to attractive people.

-Size: How big you are whether it is because of height, fat, or muscle. Typically not rolled but might be called upon when the situation calls for it.
-Education: This is your schooling and pool of academic and trivial knowledge that you memorized. 60 = highschool, 70 bachelors, 80 masters, 90 doctorate.
-Intelligence: Your thinking ability, learning ability, and problem solving.

Education tends to be used for occupational skills, while intelligence is directly used for personal interest skills.

-Luck: Your force of luck. Rolled when things are in the hands of fate. As well if something is going to happen to one person, it will usually default to the one with lowest luck.

Secondary Attributes based on these are

Build:
-This is essentially your bonus for being big and strong, or your penalty for being small and weak. This determines not only your damage bonus for melee BUT there are bonuses and penalties associated for using "maneuvers" on opponents of different builds (and something 3 builds larger then you, it impossible to grapple)
-Strength + Size
- 2-64 = build -2 and a -2 damage penalty
- 65-84 = build -1 and a -1 damage penalty
- 85-124 = build 0 and no damage bonus
- 125-164 = build 1 and a 1d4 damage bonus
- 164-204 = build 2 and a 1d6 damage bonus
Builds above 2 exist, but they are above human.

-Movement:
How many yards you can move in a single round UP to five times this value.
-Determined by: Dexterity, Strength, and Size
-Movement starts at 7. If Dexterity or Strength are higher then size it is 8, if both are higher then size then it is 9.
-Age 40 and higher can lower this value.



-HP:
Hit points, the numbers that determine how much damage you can take before perishing.
-Determined by: Con and Size
- (Con+Siz) / 10
-Note that if you take half hp in a single attack you become wounded.
-As an extra reference a single bullet wound from a typical pistol does 1d10 damage

-Sanity
Your mental health and connection to the land of the sane.
-Starting Point determined by: Power
-This starts at your power rating.
-The maximum Sanity one can have is 99 - Cthulhu Mythos skill.

-Magic Points
Used for Spells, though not really important yet or possibly ever
-Determined by: Power
- Power / 5 (round down)

2) Determine You Age

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You actually have quite a few choices when it comes to your age. If you don't want to mess with your statistics then don't worry, ages 20-39 have you covered.

Because I'd feel guilty if I just copy and pasted entire sections of the book wholesale... I'll just give a basic overview. Each age category removes stats from your physical attributes (including appearance) but also gives you chances to improve your education.

After you chose your age and have allocated your attributes, I'll tell you what you need to adjust.

3) Chose your Occupation

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is quite simple you need to basically chose your job and the list of jobs in the book are quite large so just tell me the occupation you are interested in and I'll find it. However there are important aspects of it. Lets show the Dilettante and exclude the fluff text.

Dilettante
Occupation Skill Points: EDU Χ 2 + APP Χ 2
Credit Rating: 50–99
Suggested Contacts: Variable, but usually people of a similar background and tastes, fraternal organizations, bohemian circles, high society at large.
Skills: Art/Craft (Any), Firearms, Other Language, Ride, one interpersonal skill (Charm, Fast Talk, Intimidate, or Persuade), any three other skills as personal or era specialties.

Reading the Job!
-Occupation Skill points: This is how many skill points a job gives you. You MUST put it in the skills given to you by your occupation (but this includes Credit Rating).
-Credit Rating: How many occupation skill points MUST go towards credit rating.
-Suggested Contacts: This is just ideas for the background creation.
-Skills: The Occupation skills

4) Assign your skills

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ok now for you to assign your skills, now there are two general steps. The first is you need to deal with your Occupation Skill points and then you need to assign your Personal Interest Skill points

-Occupation Skill points are determined by your job. The Dilettante that I listed earlier has EDU x 2 + App x 2, but it is unique to every job.
-Personal Interest Skill points are determined by your intelligence. This is always your intelligence x 2

Occupation Skill points must be spent on occupation skills, Credit rating, and nothing else. You also must spend occupation skill points within the minimum and maximum of the occupations Credit Rating.

AFTER you spend Occupation skill points you can then spend personal interest skill points. These represent your personal interests and can be spent anywhere even occupational skill points and credit rating.
-Note: You CANNOT spend points on Cthulhu Mythos. You know exactly nothing about it.

Once you get their final level you must also get their Half and Fifth values.

-Reading the skill point entry-

So you are probably looking at the skills and seeing something along the lines of
-Drive Auto (20%)
-Language (Own) (Edu)

These are essentially the "Starting skill level" of these skills. So if you put 1 point into Drive Auto, it becomes 21%. Language (Own) uses your education to determine its starting point, but if education goes up Langauge (Own) goes up by the same number of points, so do not be afraid about investing in them.

-Skill Explanations-

These are just skills with uses that might not be obvious.

-Fighting (brawl): This includes hand to hand combat, knives, clubs, Tasers, pepper spray, and other forms of improvised weaponry, so long as it is melee.
-Psychology: This is your ability to read others.
-Psychoanalysis: Your ability to treat others who have mental illness.
-First Aid: The ability to stabilize and treat others on the spot in emergencies.
-Medicine: Long term care, surgery, and medical analysis.
-Occult: Fake knowledge of the supernatural. Though... not everything is as fake as it seems.

-Fast Talk: Essentially conning and lying.
-Persuasion: Logical rhetoric and convincing
-Charm: Winning someone over
-Intimidate: Threatening someone

-What do the skill percents mean?-

Alright on a mechanical level if I ask you to roll a skill you have to get the percent of your skill or under to succeed. Simple? Indeed. If there are extenuating circumstances that make the situation easier or more difficult I might make you roll more dice and either use the highest or lowers among them.

Yet what about the half and fifth?...
-Half: hard successes. If the task is very difficult I will ask for a hard skill roll OR it simply means you did better then expected.
-Fifth: Extreme Success. These are nearly impossible tasks. OR it means you succeed in a stellar fashion and determines critical success.

In skill contests the better success typically wins unless noted otherwise.

Yet even the percents mean something

01%–05% Novice: Complete amateur.
06%–19% Neophyte: Beginner with a small amount of knowledge.
20%–49% Amateur: Possesses some talent or rudimentary training (hobby level).
50%–74% Professional: Allows a character to eke out a living from the skill. Equivalent to a bachelor’s degree in a specific subject.
75%–89% Expert: Advanced expertise. Corresponds with a master’s degree or Ph.D.
90%+ Master: Among the world’s best in the skill.

-Credit Rating-

Credit Rating is essentially your assets, money, and often income in some way.

0 is penniless
1-9 is poor
10-49 is average (average is kind of Lower class)
50-89 is wealthy
90-98 is Rich
99 is Super Rich

-Note: Firearm (Shotgun/rifle) is the same skill, I'll chalk it up as an error.

However that features a lot of redundancy and some skills actually go together, this is just what the character sheets show. You should have these on your final character sheet even if you don't put a single skill point into them.

5) Chose a Background

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

While you might thing this is where you write out your character's background... this isn't exactly what it is referring to (though I would prefer you to provide one anyhow).

Backgrounds are continuously updated and reworks in Call of Cthulhu as your circumstances change and your war with the supernatural continue on.

There are multiple sections of a Background and here they are:

-Personal Description: What you look like
-Ideology/Beliefs: What idea drives you or paints your view of the world?
-Significant People: An important person to you, whether positive or negative
-Meaningful Locations: An important place
-Treasured Possessions: an important object
-Traits: a personality quirk or trait important to your character.

There is also

-Injuries and Scars:
-Phobias and Manias:
-Arcane Tomes, Spells, and Artifacts:
-Encounters with Strange Entities:

These last four do not have to be filled out at all. Unless you already have some sort of old injury just leave these blank for now.

The key to your backgrounds is you want them to be SPECIFIC and to carry strong emotional weight. These are not simply things they enjoy, these are the building blocks of their life.

So if you have a Wife, give her name. Describe her and your feelings towards her. Use Love instead of Like, must instead of prefer. If they are an item or location, where are they?

There should only be one per section as your "most important". You also do not have to fill out a section if you do not wish to.

Once you are done make sure you signify your "Key background" in some manner. This background is the most important to your character, spending time with it is much more beneficial then other backgrounds, as is the loss of losing it. While I can remove, amend, add, and destroy your other backgrounds... I cannot touch your key background without your character being present.

Examples of Background!

Person 1
Personal Description: Youthful face with the eyes of an old man.
Ideology/Beliefs: I pride myself on keeping a balanced chequebook.
Significant People: My grandfather; I think he may have married a witch.
Traits: I love deciphering old tomes, often forgetting to eat and sleep.

Person 2
Personal Description: Prim and proper dress; business-like.
Ideology/Beliefs: I hate injustice.
Significant People: I will find the man responsible for my father's murder.
Meaningful Locations: I’m most at home in the Orne Library.
Treasured Possessions: My collection of first editions

Person 3
Personal Description: Studious-looking, clipped beard.
Ideology/Beliefs: I will rival H.G. Wells as a famous author.
Significant People: My mother; I call her every day.
Treasured Possessions: I never go anywhere without my trusty ink pen and notepad.
Traits: Loves to gossip.

6) Equipment

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Now that you have your credit score you now know your three scores.

There are five spending levels

(CR 0) Penniless:
-Cash: $10
-Assets: 0
-Spending Level: $10

(CR 1-9) Poor:
-Cash: CR x 20
-Assets:  CR x 200
-Spending Level: $40

(CR 10-49) Average:
-Cash: CR x 40
-Assets: CR x 1000
-Spending Level: $200

(CR 50-89) Wealthy:
-Cash: CR x 100
-Assets: CR x 10,000
-Spending Level: $1000

(CR 90-98) Rich:
-Cash: CR x 400
-Assets: CR x 40,000
-Spending Level: $5000

(CR 99) Super Rich
-Cash: 1 million
-Assets: Over 100 Million
-Spending Level: $100,000

What do these numbers mean?

-Cash is the amount of liquid money you have, whether it is on you or not. This includes your savings.
-Assets are the amount of money you have tied in assets such as your house and car
-Spending Level is how much you can spend daily without needing to keep track.

For this game I do want a exact tally of what you are bringing to the mansion. While "Weeks worth of clothes" is fine. Though bullets or magazines need to be specific.

As well try to be realistic about what you would bring to this lodge. I doubt you brought your entire stash of C4.

The game does bring an entire list of weapons, guns, and items... But for now just be reasonable with your purchases and I'll tell you anything you need to about it.

Farmer O'Flaherty is the old man's cousin's grand nephew, and a solid man to be sure, having tried his luck with poaching, marijuana, poppies, alfalfa and a great number of other grossly immoral things, all in the name of making himself rich. When the old man was about to kick off, O'Flaherty nearly jumped for joy. That one time he saw him when he was a wee little lad seems to have paid off, just as his own old man had predicted (and groomed the lad to be endearingly precocious and full of that grand moxie that elders always appreciate). Swinging his hat in the air jubilantly, O'Flaherty got his good suit on, rented something that wasn't his manure truck, told his wife to hold down the fort and set off, prepared to hit paydirt.

Backgrounds:
-Personal Description: a solid man of stocky build and a great appreciation for flannel and jeans, Farmer O'Flaherty is about as clearly a farmer as one could imagine a man to be. All that's needed is for him to be chewing on a bit of hay and wearing a straw hat, but he's elected not to go that far. Heck, he even shined his boots for the occasion.

-Ideology/Beliefs: the American Dream - get rich or kill everyone trying, simply put.

-Significant People: he's had three different wives, nine different dogs and quite a few fair-weather friends, and in summation they have produced one thing of note - his daughter Frances, now 13 years of age and promisingly deviant in just about every way, just about half the reason Farmer O'Flaherty even bothers to go home most days.

-Meaningful Locations: ah, the county jail. Several spells done there over his lifetime, and never has he regretted even one. Fascinating people were met, songs were sung and bars were rattled. A stepping stone to greatness, true! But also greatness in its own way, a demonstration of Farmer O'Flaherty's will to power!

-Treasured Possessions: his manure truck, shiny and clean, still kept in his wooden garage back home. Many fascinating schemes were wrought with its aid, and Farmer O'Flaherty hopes to one day give its keys to Frances when she has proven a worthy recipient of them.

-Traits: an inextinguishable optimism that repeated failure only serves to kindle further. You can't keep a farmer down! Many have tried! All have failed!

-Injuries and Scars:

-Phobias and Manias:

-Arcane Tomes, Spells, and Artifacts:

-Encounters with Strange Entities:

Farmer

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

An agricultural worker who might own the land on which
they raise crops or livestock, or who is employed to do the
same. Rigorous and demanding, the life of the farmer is suited
to those who enjoy manual labor and outdoor activities.
The 1920s are the first decade where the urban population
of the U.S. outnumbers the rural population.
Independent farmers find themselves squeezed between
competition from corporate-controlled farms and fluctuating
commodity markets—a situation still common in
contemporary times.
Occupation Skill Points: EDU Χ 2 + (DEX Χ 2 or STR Χ 2)
Credit Rating: 9–30
Suggested Contacts: Local bank, local politicians, state
agricultural department.
Skills: Art/Craft (Farming), Drive Auto (or Wagon), one
interpersonal skill (Charm, Fast Talk, Intimidate, or
Persuade), Mechanical Repair, Natural World, Operate
Heavy Machinery, Track, any one other skill as
a personal or era specialty.

Also bad luck you didn't get an education increase. Roll was a 39 and it needs to roll above your current education to succeed.

I guess I should put the list of skills up... >_<

And done.

[Harry Baldman]

Right, put up my skills and vague description of equipment. Makes sense for a farmer to have shotgun, right?

[Neonivek]

Right, put up my skills and vague description of equipment. Makes sense for a farmer to have shotgun, right?

Assuming your not absolutely dirt poor, yeah it is fine.

12-gauge Shotgun (2B). Fires With: Firearms (shotgun), Damage: 4D6/2D6/1D6, Range: 10/20/50 yards, FPR: 1 or 2, Bullets in gun: 2

Costs about $200 dollars and about 30 bucks for every 25 rounds of ammo.

[Harry Baldman]

Assuming your not absolutely dirt poor, yeah it is fine.

I'd assume it'd affect the quality of the shotgun rather than its existence. For instance, the poorest farmer would have a hand-me-down from 1890 inherited through the generations and probably not kept as clean as it should be.

I'll assume you are not done his skills. Though please remember to buy at LEAST 9 points of Credit rating but no more then 30. Your skill must be at least at the minimum but no greater then the maximum.

I wrote it in the Tutorial.

Ah, forgot the personal interest bits and didn't notice that Credit Rating is bought with skill points.

Should be fixed now. Or wait, is the credit rating the absolute limitation for skills or simply how many Occupation skill points you can put into one? Or did I misunderstand that entirely?

I'll probably get my finished char sheet up sometime today.
