Excellent! Exactly what I was looking for! Many thanks once again Mike.

Brilliant! Many thanks Mike.

Perfect! Many thanks indeed.

Yes precisely. Thanks

Thanks for your reply. It is not a bespoke design but rather a standard third page with specific borders that are in line with the COC7 character sheets that we have. For a better illustration of what I mean, please check, as an example, the pre-gen character sheets provided in The Lightless Beacon scenario. Please note that this is just an example and I have seen this template being used in many of the recent Chaosium COC7 related products - hence my original question. This third page template in its fillable format could indeed be very useful for Keepers to flesh out the generated characters. Hope this is clearer.

Hi there fellow cultists, Was wondering whether the "third" page of the CoC7 character sheet so often found in published pre-gens (the one where the bios and story hooks are written) can be found anywhere to be downloaded? If not, would Chaosium kindly provide one as I think it could be quite useful for the Keepers when creating pre-gens. Many thanks!

You're right, thanks. Looks like we have been applying the skill correctly after all (i.e. both for short and long distances).

Quoted from the 7th Ed Rulebook: "skill allows the user to spot a secret door or compartment, notice a hidden intruder, nd an inconspicuous clue, recognize a repainted automobile, become aware of ambushers, notice a bulging pocket, or anything similar. is is an important skill in the armory of an investigator". The only example there that could I suppose also be construed for longer-range observations is "become aware of ambushers", with all of the other examples hinting at closers eventualities in terms of the distances involved. At any rate, I have also always been using Spot Hidden for both close and long-range encounters (as I suppose we all have) but thought I'd check with you all as well. Could be the name "Spot Hidden" that is the CoC heritage but perhaps a little misleading at times

Fellow Keepers, As we say, you live you learn! I have been GM-ing CoC games for a while now (my game of choice, as I presume is the case for most people here :)), and was thinking the other day about our beloved Spot Hidden skill in a Call of Cthulhu game. I'll cut to the chase and will ask my question first: Do we have any relevant skills in Call of Cthulhu 7th edition (or any other edition for that matter) which would be used for observing or noticing something in the distance? We have the Listen to hear and notice things based on sound, however, do we have anything similar for sight? Now I know that we all (or most of us) tend to ask for Spot Hidden rolls in such cases, but, strictly speaking, Spot Hidden is used to notice/see something at quite short distances (e.g. trying to find that missing note in a drawer, or in a messy room, etc). It appeared to me the other day that there was no apparent skill for seeing something in a distance (e.g. try to see what's moving out there a few hundred metres away in the dark woods, etc). Other RPG games often have skills for these eventualities called Observation or Notice. Do we have anything similar in CoC 7th? Do you also use Spot Hidden? Thank you!

That would be great, thanks. Any clues what this "upcoming project" may be? (I did roll an Extreme on my Spot Hidden just now)
