[QUOTE="Zappo, post: 109912, member: 633"] Well, CoC [i]is[/i] a horror game, you know. That's why I hope that in the d20 version they are still unstoppable. Take that with moderation... I don't mean literally unstoppable, only much, much, much tougher than your average human. With decent firearms, good tactics, and numerical advantage, you can kill many CoC critters, even under Chaosium rules (and you might even survive). You cannot kill the various unique monsters. Colonel, we are not talking about a D&D/Cthulhu crossover. The epic level and deities and demigods stuff is not supposed to be applied to CoC d20. Any attempt in this direction would be a house rule. As the rule, I think the CoC characters should never even have the faintest idea of a chance against any Great Old One in direct combat. D&D characters, that's another matter entirely, but it's... well, [i]another matter entirely[/i]. To those concerned about levels... don't worry, you know that 90% of the characters won't make it past level 2. :D Besides, considering the nature of CoC, it is likely that 20th level characters won't be nearly as powerful in combat as an equivalent D&D character. They'll be like very advanced CoC characters - wise, knowledgeable, talented, and ready to flee at the first sign of a monster. [/QUOTE]
