Castle to roll 4d6 (take highest 3) and arrange to taste.  You may reroll if your total modifiers are zero (0) or less OR if your highest score is less than 13.Race:  All characters are human.Class:  There is no class per se, but all characters receive d6 hit dice per level, and 8 skill points per level.  CoC characters are defined by their skills rather than any major combat craziness.  Players may choose a defensive character option, or an offensive character option.Defensive options give poor BAB (+0 BAB at first level) and two good saves (your choice).  Offensive characters get medium BAB (+1 BAB at first level, though) and one good save (your choice).Feats: All characters start with two feats.  No character stars with any Weapon Proficiency unless they take the offensive option.A

Proficiency, includes melee weapon, thrown weapon, pistol, rifle, shotgun, sub-machine gunSkills:  A character has a profession template that describes the role they play in society.  This profession template determines what skills are class skills.  Some examples of profession templates include: Agent, Antiquarian, Archaeologist, Artist/Musician, Blue-Collar Worker, Criminal, Detective/Private Investigator, Dilettante, Doctor/Nurse, Parapsychologist, Priest/Clergyman, Professor, Psychologist, Soldier, Technician, White-Collar Worker/Businessman, Writer/Reporter.ARCHAEOLOGISTAppraise, Climb,

language and read it, BUT skill checks can be make (mostly against DC 15) to see how well you understand less obvious stuff, make yourself understood, or intuit vague references or dialects.  Reading Mythos tombs requires high DC checks to understand them.Spellcraft (Int)*  only works if you know the spell, or a variation of it, or have deciphered them in a Mythos tome.  Starting characters with this skill have it as purely academic knowledge, not practical knowledge.Spot (Wis)Swim (Str)Tumble (Dex) *Use Rope (Dex)Wilderness Lore (Wis)Defense Bonus:  Characters get a bonus to AC depending on level.  For defensive characters this amounts to +2 AC at level one, and for offensive characters +0 AC at level one.  Offensive characters do get an extra Weapon Proficiency feat at first level.  It should be noted that no character starts proficient in any type of weapon, so this feat is a big deal.Wounds/Hit Points:  Characters will use the W/VP system of Star Wars d20.  Basically, Wounds = Con.  You normally take damage to hit points.  If you suffer a critical hit, you take points to Wounds.  When wounds = 0 you are dead.  If you are out of hit points, you take wound points instead.  For Hit Points, everyone should take four (4) hit points at first level, and ROLL 1d6 at invisible castle at each level thereafter.Sanity: Characters have a score to reflect their mental health.  This score starts at Wis x 5, but may go up (and more likely down!).  After the start of the game, you will NOT know your current Sanity score,  I will take care of managing it.I WILL DETERMINE YOUR

Try to take advantage of using this section to make your character interesting instead of just a "video-gamish" list of D&D statistics. But don't write so much that it makes people's eyes fall out, keep it focused and stick to the highlights.Write a paragraph that describes the characters personality, manners, attitude, motivations, likes, desires, goals, aspirations, fears, habits, quirks, and similar things. Thinking about that stuff and writing it down will help you role-play much much better and your games will become more fun for you and everybody else playing with you. Who knows, your role-playing might help you win an Academy Award someday (riiiight).Write out another paragraph with details describing the way your PC looks when first encountered. Make him/her unique enough so that your character isn't just another boring face in the crowd. Also be sure to describe all your clothing colors and materials so that everyone isn't walking around looking like perfect clones wearing duplicate copies of Adventurer Jumpsuit Outfit #9!!Equipment CarriedItem (location, wt, cost)Money</blockquote>
