The Setup Thread

Nosy Neighbor checking in! Hope to get a handle on them tonight or tomorrow.

OK we have one character up already. Copy the details from your private thread into a 7e character sheet, add your name, gender and a little background and submit it to the game.

I submitted my character, please tell me if it is OK with you.

It's great. I've edited the max sanity (this starts at 99 and goes down as you gain Cthulhu Mythos points from learning about the Mythos)

Florence Baker, Landlady, submitted!

One thing I wasn't sure about - in the pre-formatted sheets in our private threads, are the numbers for skills *including* the base stat? I assume it is, but I can't for the life of me figure out then why some of my skills have entries for %'s that match the base amount.

Langston 'Lang' Du Bois, owner of Ex Libris Rare Books, has reported for duty!
I still have some editing to do with his skills.

Yes the skills are the totals. I noticed that as well, I guess thy just carried some base numbers across and not others

Okay, sheet should be good then :) Let me know if I need to change anything.

Looking good

Do you need any help getting your skills in there?

I was going to ask! Yes, please. I couldn't figure out why the editing page made all the skills disappear. :|

The character sheet has default skills but as the skills we are going to insert over ride those, we need to type them all in.

Oh! I'll get on that tonight.

no need, I did it for you

Maybe think about any gear you might carry with you.

The skills on the pregen character show three numbers, these are 50% and 20% of the base skill, giving you a hard or extreme success score. On the GP sheet, it doesn't accommodate those numbers so you just figure them manually as you need.

Thank you so much! :)

Your investigator’s characteristics, like Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence, as well as their skills, have a value out of one hundred. The higher the number, the better their ability. Each of these values is a percentage, so when asked to make a roll to determine how well your character is doing something, you roll percentile dice. If you roll lower than or equal to your value, then you usually pass the test. If you look at your skills, the ones with the highest numbers are the things your character is best at doing.
