Avalon

The reason why I ask is because even though I do go combat-light, the combat that is there can have the tendency to wipe people out in a heart beat. I know that CoC is not meant to really focus on combat so it should be IMO a shock to players when they do get in combat... but I was just trying to see if others had a way of making it not so drastic. Actually the Sanity as-is has never been a "problem" for me or the players at all. The reason why I mention using the Madness Meter is not due to some inherent flaw with the mechanics, it is only something to add to the RP of the game. I feel the Madness Meter would give the characters' mental-stability (for better or worse) more depth and make it more fulfilling.

I appreciate the suggestions. I tend to run my campaigns combat-light so that isnt so much of a problem all that often. As for Sanity, I like that aspect of the game, but I was thinking doing something I found while browsing these forums. I am considering using the BRP system for CoC, but using the Madness Meter from UA. I really like it, and would add a little more dimension to the effects of running into the horrible things involved with the Mythos. BTW... I am a massive Lovecraft fan, so not playing CoC is just not possible. Especially since I actually love the game weather or not anything gets changed. And Vile, thank you kindly for the link to the weapons table. Again, thank you for the feedback!

Hey there. Nevermind the above post. I found this in the download sections of this site. They are alternate wound rules for the BRP. I plan on using them for CoC. Squeak at ya later! :thumb:

Hello there everyone! I am new to these forums and have been playing CoC 5.6 for quite some time and absolutely love it and the system. However I have a question concerning how lethal of a game it is.I personally have no problem with this aspect of the game and find it rather realistic. However on of my friends I game with was curious if it was possible to make character life expectancy a bit lengthier. Just so everyone is aware... no I am not complaining. This is not an issue I have with the game. It really isn't an issue. Just curious how to do it if possible. He raised the point that when some people make a character, they really like to go all out with a character concept, background and really flesh out the character and he is afraid that some people may feel that the characters for CoC and the BRP system in general ultimately doesn't really support that. Perhaps I am wrong on that point and it is only a CoC issue. Either way, and information or advice would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time! :happy:
