Katowice 11-18-07, 04:27 PM	Has anyone written up stats for Sherlock Holmes for use in Call of Cthulhu or Call of Cthulhu d20? There's a PC game with Sherlock Holmes and the Mythos and I was interested in seeing what his stats would be in an RPG.

Sherlock Holmes level 20 Human (Holmes is steam punk era super sleuth) Neutral good (I chose neutral good because Holmes has been known to break the law and let criminals he sympathised with escape) Sleuth 16 (masque of the red death) / 4 Expert STR:12 (+1) DEX:15 (+2) CON:12 (+1) INT:21 (+5) WIS:20 (+5) CHA:15 (+2) FORT: 6 (7) REF: 11(13) WILL: 9 (14) BAB 15/10/5 AC 14 (10, +2 dex bonus, +2 Armour bonus from padded overcoat) HP: 99 Attack: Fist 16/11/6 1d3+2,20x2 Attack: Masterwork Rapier/Sword cane 16/11/6 1d6, 18-20x2 Attack:.45 calibre army pistol 17/12/7 2D6, 20x3 Skill ranks: (* are class skills) *Appraise (Int) 10 *Academician(Wis) 14 *Bluff (Cha) 17 *Disguise(Cha) 12 *Gather Information (Cha) 20 *Intimidate (Cha)10 *Knowledge (criminology) (Int) 20 *Knowledge (cryptology) (Int)10 *Knowledge (local) (Int) 14 *Knowledge (government)(Int)10 *Knowledge (History)(Int) 5 *Knowledge (chemistry)(Int) 4 *Knowledge (Botany)(Int) 5 *Knowledge(Literature)(Int) 8 *Knowledge(Biology)(Int) 8 *Listen (Wis) 16 *Open Lock (Dex)10 *Profession(Detective) (Wis) 20 *Perform (Violin)(Cha) 8 *Search (Int) 18 *Sense Motive(Wis)19 *Spot (Wis) 19 Class features and feats: proficient with all simple weapons and all fire arms Skill focus (criminology) Skill focus (Academician) Concealed weapons (+2 to spot check to find them) Evasion Trap sense Investigator Influence (+5 when dealing with local police, +2 elsewhere) Improvised weapon Pugilism (+2 to unarmed attacks and can do lethal damage) Improved pugilism (+2 damage unarmed) Improved initiative Martial weapon proficiency (sword) Alertness Leadership Perfect memory (visual) Personal Equipment: Gentlemen’s suit Padded Overcoat Deerstalker hat Mahogany pipe and tobacco Masterwork sword cane Army Pistol Magnifying glass Small knife Violin Opium Business cards Leadership was an obvious choice, and Dr Watson was the cohort (Elementary realy! :D) If you want to give him flaws or anyhting like that I recommend somthing along the lines of, Drug addict (opium and morphine), and Nemesis (Proffessor Moriaty).

Giradius 11-21-07, 11:26 AM	I wouldnt say that, The only difference is the mechanics are different, it is d20 based instead D100. Its all still H.P.Lovecraft, the only thing i would say is that the D20 CofC is a lot less detailed (in terms of the magic system, background info and the stats for mythos creatures) but I dont think it would be that difficult to convert some of it to D20, i have kept my standard CofC books for this reason

Sherlock Holmes - The Awakened: http://www.sherlockholmes-thegame.com/en/sh3/index.php?lang=en&rub=lejeu Get this: I have a copy of an book of related shorts stories dedicated to Sherlock Holmes and Call of Cthulhu! Here are it's specs: Title of book: Shadows over Baker Street Edited by Michaek Reaves and John Pelan. It's a fairly recent book, so you can probably find it in a book store or online. Note: I have only completed reading at least one story in this book.
