04-10-07, 05:21 PM What a random question. I don't think I've ever seen anyone ask that before. :rolleyes:

They released a Call of Cthulhu d20 game, but I hear its hard to get a copy at this point.
Mirtek
04-10-07, 05:26 PM Yes, he's in the CoC D20 supplement. It has stats for many of the outer gods and great old ones.

04-11-07, 12:48 PM Isn't that game out of print?

It'd probably be more fun for you to just make him from scratch.

Also see the stats for Azathoth below. You will note the similarities to the DDG rules, but also a few differences. That's because these stats were made prior to the release of Deities&Demigods and used the DDG rules of this time, which were still unfinished and some of them changed until the release of DDG.

Note: All of the information below was given as a free preview on the WotC website upon the D20 book was released.

That last amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the centre of all infinity -- the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

-- H.P. Lovecraft, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath

Azathoth is the chief deity of the Cthulhu Mythos, and has existed since before creation. Some say it had a hand in the creation of the multiverse (or at least a psuedopod). It dwells beyond normal space-time at the center of all existence, where its amorphous body writhes unceasingly to the monotonous piping of a flute. Lesser gods and servitors dance mindlessly round Azathoth to the same music.

Azathoth is both blind and idiotic, a "monstrous nuclear chaos." In fact, the essence of Azathoth is part of all physical matter in the multiverse, though he can also manifest as the distinct amorphous mass described here.
Worship

Other gods of the Mythos revere, and even worship, Azathoth. For instance, Great Cthulhu himself is the chief priest of Azathoth, though he serves from afar, and only when the stars are right. The chief instrument of Azathoth is Nyarlathotep (though some say it is Nyarlathotep that controls the idiot deity Azathoth). The urges of Azathoth are immediately fulfilled by the Crawling Chaos.

Azathoth is rarely worshiped by mortals, for the god offers little in return. (In D&D, only a few clerics who serve Azathoth are granted powers from the god's domains.) Usually Azathoth is called by accident, thereby unwittingly bringing disaster and horror. Only the criminally insane knowingly worship such a being. Nonetheless, such worshipers may have special insights into the nature of the universe, its origin, powers, and meaning, insights perhaps understandable only by other madmen. Supplicants who are truly daring may seek to summon the manifestation of Azathoth, though doing so entails terrible risk, lest Azathoth become irritated at the interruption of its servitors' incessent piping.
Combat

Azathoth is never alone at the center of existence. Even if called or summoned, it manifests with one flautist (usually a Servitor of the Outer Gods) to play its music, and 1d4 other gods described in this book.

If engaged in physical combat, Azathoth forms psuedopods from its amorphous flesh, which it uses to slam enemies. However, its favorite tactic against mortal enemies is its Wail of Madness. Only if pressed by enemy deities will Azathoth deign to use its terrible divine blast, annihilating all mortal foes nearby so that it may concentrate its energies against the gods.

Intelligence Drain (Su): Whenever Azathoth hits an opponent with a slam attack from a pseudopod, the opponent is permanently drained of 2d4 Intelligence points (or twice that on a critical hit) as he is momentarily forced to stare into the abyss that is Azathoth's mind.

Wail of Madness (Su): At will, Azathoth can produce a terrible keening. All creatures within 100 feet who have a Sanity score are reduced to 1 Sanity if they fail a Will saving throw (DC 62).

Alter Reality (Sp): The deity can duplicate any spell in this book or any spell of 9th-level or less in the D&DPlayer's Handbook as a standard action. The duplicated spell has no material or XP component. Its saving throw (if one is allowed) is 62 plus the god's Charisma modifier.

Divine Celerity (Su): The god acts as if hasted for 10 minutes (100 rounds) each day. The duration of the effect need not be consecutive rounds. Activating this power is a free action.

Squamous Blast (Su): Azathoth can use this power 24 times a day. The ray created can extend up to 20 miles. Targets the ray strikes take 42d12 points of damage. No saving throw exists for this, but the god must make a ranged touch attack to hit.

Azathoth's blast usually takes the form of a half-melted lump of insane dream accompanied by a shrill chorus of thundering flutes. The damage dealt is divine damage. Energy resistance has no effect against the ray.

The ray destroys any wall of force, prismatic wall, or prismatic sphere it hits (all layers in a prismatic effect are destroyed). The ray itself is unaffected and can strike a target behind the wall of force or prismatic effect.

Remote Sensing (Ex): Azathoth can extend its senses to 20 remote locations at once (and still sense what's going on around itself).

04-11-07, 05:42 PM In CoC d20, Big C was challenge rating 34. He was Colossal size and a Demigod.

When his stats were written out, the designers ran him up against a level 20 party. I forget how many went down before Trap the Soul was successful.
Ye' Cind
04-11-07, 06:40 PM The stats for Cthullhu can also be found in Tobin's Spirit Guide (IF you can somehow get your hands on a copy) :D

It'd probably be more fun for you to just make him from scratch.

Here's my version:

You made him a Magical Beast? That's lame. He's so obviously an Outsider or at the very least an Aberration.
obrysii
04-11-07, 11:47 PM Tadasi (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=396861) would work as Cthulhu, as he's blatantly based off of that ancient horror.

Clearly none of them had a boat.
Kojiro James
04-14-07, 02:32 AM But he just simply reformed immediately after the boat was driven through him. That isn't defeating him at all. That's just making him angrier.

What the hell? My local gaming shops sells a bunch of copies for €10 each. :eek:

04-15-07, 09:25 PM I got mine for about 30$. I was quite suprised when I heard about people only finding it for 75$.
