Message: <blockquote data-quote="Naoki00_" data-source="post: 5964849" data-attributes="member: 99243">Hey good people of the forums, I've been invited to join a Call of Cthulu game(think I spelled the right >.> ) and since I've never played and only have a barely fundamental knowledge of the game I'd like to ask a few questions on here to get some more opinions, especially since the DM has little experience in the game himself.Firstly I'd like to simply ask if a person like myself would enjoy a game like COC, I'm kind of an optimizer in most things due to how little I enjoy the idea of a character I spend 3-4 hours of time on character story dying, and I tend to not trust a dice roll that often, while I can really enjoy a good horror story and intrigue, I also have a mentality of "so the monsters evil and wants us dead?...why don't we just kill it and be done?" sorta 'big darn heros' thing. You know that Fighter who breaks down the door and lops heads like a boss? that's my guy(even if I love magic too), thus, unsure if CoC will be exciting.Next would be how exactly is it even handled? I know that it doesn't have classes, but I don't have a rulebook yet and am having difficulty finding one, so is it like a d20 modern thing with professions or something?Lastly is that magic seems to be...well worthless from what I heard from the GM. not that he thought so but that if it's true most spells require ability drain I see little point in using them at all. I could send a death wave out and kill 10 guys, but I likely couldn't do it again without very crippling side effects and seeing someone I worked hard on wither away by using their main schtick sounds more depressing then the story, so is that true or am I thinking just too extremely on it?I'm sure I'll think of more questions, but these are the major ones right now, thanks for anyone who answers!</blockquote>
