Archivist Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Do you recommend the (https://www.chaosium.com/malleus-monstrorum/ (Malleus Monstrorum)) for additional antagonists? Any other ideas? Are there any supplements or do you have your own method for creating simplified antagonists? By default, like all BRP systems, antagonists are built exactly like PCs, but you rarely need all of that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Roy Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) The French Call of Cthulhu 6th ed had an interesting mechanic for this. I don't have my book handy but NPC were divided in 3 tiers. Basic NPC would get a name, profession, 1 or 2 line description and maybe an exceptional Skill Ex: Pierre, 26 French pilot, a veteran of WWI, Pierre is a adrenaline junkie (pilot 70%). Moderate NPC have stats (usually average), a description and the stats are given broad percentage for example: Social 50% Influence 25% Knowledge 25% etc. Major NPC would be fully develop just like a PC. If you are interested, I could dig up my book and give you the exact details.

Archivist Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) That's sounds terrific! If you have anything else that would be great. I couldn't find this in my CoC 6e. Edited April 20, 2018 by Archivist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Roy Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Yeah, I think it is something that was specific to the French edition, in all cases, I'm working this weekend, but I'll send you the full details on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Roy Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) As promised, I've done a quick translation of the 2 pages that convers NPCs in the French corebook for 6th editon Call of Cthulhu. Giving you the 3 motheds to create an NPC, a bit of a definition for each of the category. a Table for the Average NPC stats. as well as a breakdown of the French skills category (as the Englich character sheet doesn't use that system). Below is the result, a nice little, easy to use (I hope), 4 pages Word document. NPC.docx Edited April 23, 2018 by André Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
