[QUOTE="HeavenShallBurn, post: 3202939, member: 39593"] Thank you that makes much more sense now. Mechanically they were designed to work under DnD combat rules and thus can be mixed with standard DnD creations even fight them. I may be wrong but I'm thinking that behind the mechanics the overall rationale of the CoC setting is such that they are never really supposed to be "fought" or "killed" in the sense of really anything in DnD. They are meant to represent the unfathomable horror of that which lurks beyond and in such are supposed to be averted but cannot be truly destroyed. Thus they are meant to confront those with no hope of truly destroying them and to make the contest more equitable is in a way not true to what they are intended to represent. I will trust those with experience if the mechanics say Cthulu wins and wins easily then it is. Of course perhaps a face-off between Cthulu and the God-Eater(CR90 something templated Tarrasque) would be quite entertaining as long as you weren't there. [/QUOTE]
