The DM may impose shroud on particular sanity roll
checks, in this instance, you temporarily reduce the
value of the shroud to your sanity ability score.
For example, if your sanity is 14 and the DM requests
a sanity check, a D20 roll of 14 or less would succeed.
However a roll of 15 or more would result in a failure,
therefore reducing your sanity score to 13. In another
instance, if the DM requested you to make a sanity
check with a shroud of 2, your sanity is now 12 (14 -2)
and therefore a D20 dice roll of 12 or less would
succeed, however a roll of 13 or more will fail and so
you must reduce your sanity ability score by 1..
Note that shroud does not permanently reduce your
sanity score, only for the purposes of the check.
If at any point your sanity ability is half or less than that
of your max sanity ability score, you will receive a minor
madness trait as imposed by the DM.
If at any point your sanity ability is a quarter or less than
that of your max sanity ability, you will receive a major
madness trait as imposed by the DM.
Once per long rest you may attempt to reclaim some
of your sanity, to do this make a sanity check, if you fail
you regain no sanity points, if you pass, you regain D4
lost sanity points.

Character Creation
��
In the Cthulhu Mythos, only the Human race is available,
though you may choose to use the standard human race
rules, the variant rules or one of the Mythos human races
as described later.
Allocation of ability points will use the standard array.
��
During character creation, when advised to select a feat,
you may select a feat from the players handbook, when
selecting a feat, the following feats cannot be chosen;
Elemental Adept
Mage Slayer
Magic Initiate
Ritual caster
Spell Sniper
War Caster
These feats are not accessbile as most of the player
characters do not have knowledge of the arcane, though
they may have suspisions of its existence.
There are a selection of new feats as detailed later.
��
Once you have created your character's abilities,
skills and feats (if applicable), you may then select a
class from the following;
Soldier
Mobster
Private Investigator
Brawler
Medic
Librarian
Scientist
4
Human
Humans vastly dominant Earth and so have a wide variety
of subraces, features and traits. As such when picking to
play as a human, make sure to note down your phsycial
description including your ethnicity, religion if any and
where your human is from.
��
It’s hard to make generalizations about humans, but your
human character has these traits.

by 1.

less than a century.
Alignment: Humans tend toward no particular alignment.
The best and the worst are found among them.

extra language of your choice. Humans typically learn the
languages of other peoples they deal with, including

choice increase by 1.
Skills: You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice.
Feat: You gain one feat of your choice.
5
Leng Folk
The folk of the plateau of Leng are distant relatives of humanity that
humanity does not realise walk among us, Being the same size and
shape and possessing the same basic abilities. They are individually
no more formidable than a normal human, have their own culture and
religions, and build villages in their homeland. There the resemblance
ends, however, for the almost-humans of Leng are morally repulsive,
with dark desires and dubious inclinations.
��
Your Leng folk character might resist the base and cruel culture of
Leng and seek a new way of life elsewhere or might pursue
adventure as a means to gain power and thereby rise in station when
you return to your home. You are a humanoid with the human tag,
which might affect how spells and effects apply to you.
Ability Score Increase: Your Dexterity score increases
by 2 and your Constitution score increases by 1.
Age: The folk of Leng have lifespans comparable to other humans.
Alignment: Leng folk are raised in an exploitative culture where they
are expected to make sacrifices for those stronger than them. They
tend to be Lawful Evil..
Size: Leng folk are similar in build to other humans.
Your size is Medium.
Darkvision: You can see in dim light within 60 feet of
you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light.
You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Silver-Tongued: You have proficiency in the Deception and
Intimidation skills.
Guarded: You have advantage on initiative rolls.
Humanlike: You are considered disguised as a Human from the start
and may choose to reveal your true identity at any point, at which
time all other player characters must pass a Sanity check with a
shroud equal to 10 minus the number of weeks you have been with
the same group. Failed sanity checks result in a loss of D6+1 sanity
points rather than 1.
Prehensile Tail: Your long tail can carry objects as easily as an arm
but can’t be used to wield or manipulate objects or weapons. If still
disguised as human, when using this trait, make a sleight of hand
check with a DC12, if the result is a failure, those that can see you
know your true identity.
Tool Proficiency: You gain proficiency with the tool of
your choice: disguise kit, navigator’s tools, or any waterborne
vehicle.
Languages: You can speak, read, and write Aklo and English
6
Tcho Tcho
Tcho-Tcho are relatives of humans that have been altered
by the meddling of the Great Old Ones. They have an
alien mindset compared to mundane humans and several
subtle physiological differences.
��
Your Tcho-Tcho character is limber and hale, but indelibly
marked by the intensely exploitative and paranoid
TchoTcho culture. You are a humanoid with the human
tag, which might affect how spells and effects apply to
you.
Ability Score Increase: Your Constitution score increases
by 2 and your Dexterity score increases by 1.
Age: The Tcho-Tcho have lifespans comparable to other
humans.
Alignment: Tcho-Tcho are raised in an exploitative culture
where betrayal and murder are considered reasonable
tools for getting ahead. They tend to be Neutral evil.

Your size is Medium.
Wilderness Hunter: You have proficiency in the
Perception and Survival skills.
Cannibalize: As an action, you can consume a portion of
humanoid flesh you carry or from a humanoid corpse
within 5 feet. When you do so, you gain 5 temporary hit
points that last for 1 hour. As long as you have these
temporary hit points, you have advantage on Constitution
saving throws. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it
again until you finish a long rest. Any humans that witness
this much take a sanity check with a shroud of 4.
False Appearance: You are almost impossible to
distinguish from a human, one that is somewhat
deformed.
Tool Proficiency: You gain proficiency with one of the
following tools: alchemist’s supplies, disguise kit,
herbalism kit, or poisoner’s kit.
Warped Mind: You have advantage on saving throws
against spells and effects that would charm or frighten
you. You automatically succeed on any Wisdom saving
throw against a spell or effect that only works on
humanoids.
Languages: You can speak, read, and write English and one
other language.

Brawler Class
Usually shirtless, wearing a vest top or at the very most
an open collared, rolled up sleeved shirt, covered in
blood and dirt. The brawler can often be found at the
docks, participating in street fights. A brawler usually
makes a living by working in a manual labour job, this
always assists with keeping the man or woman's
strength in check.
Though many work in the inner cities, majority of them
are found towards the outskirts of cities, away from
law and prying eyes. The hardest of the brawlers are
said to be found on deck, the sea men of the world
have always be known as the strongest but perhaps, not
the brightest.
��
If you wish to pick a fight, picking one with a brawler is
no easy feat, especially if there is coin involved. The
brawler is lethal in close quarters combat and can
usually shrug off even the mightiest of blows.
��
During most brawler's upbringing, they are taught how
to fight at a young age, whether they had to fight for
food or perhaps something much more sinister was at
hand. Brawlers have known nothing else, bar a hard
days graft. Though that can easily be interrupted by a
good scrap on the docks.

Librarian Class
Librarians are, at heart, bookpagemasters and students
of all knowledge. The life of a Librarian, however, is
never dull, for many adventurers seek out their book
smarts to aid in dangerous encounters. On the
battlefield, a librarian often acts as an advisor,
pointing out weaknesses in the enemy tactics, or
using their superior knowledge to aid in tactics of
their own. Some Librarians prefer a defensive route,
knowing they can best serve their party and friends by
utilizing ancient healing potions and constructs to
protect them. The few, rarer breeds of librarian
however, prefer a more ‘hands on’ approach to
studying. These brave men and women become
hunters and investigators of the paranormal; using
their natural fighting ability to quickly dispatch their
enemies before learning more about them, to better
hunt more in the future.
Whichever path a librarian takes, be it book-smart,
hands on or a defensive specialist, each is valued just
as highly as the next. For the life of a librarian is a
dangerous one - after all, as new books are written,
new mysteries are waiting to be solved.

Medic Class
Medics will often be found wandering through a circuit of
villages that are too poor to support a hospital powerful
enough to heal major injuries and diseases, not only do
they heal the injuries and illnesses that they find on their
journeys they will also try to educate villages in hygiene
and basic first aid, then report unusual diseases and
afflictions to major medical institutions. A medical
institution can be found in most cities although few are
independent with most being part of a buisness or
university. Every medical institute trains new medics and
researches new techniques, but some will also work with
the government to try and improve the health of all
residents and some work to thwart villains designing
diseases to cause lethal epidemics.
��
Thought the life of a doctor is a glamorous one, the life of
a medic is quite the opposite. Rather than languishing in
fine banquets in their honour or attending high end
meetings to discuss the finer things in life, the medic is in
the slumps, looking after the poor and constantly fighting
the war against disease. Though lately, the disease of the
mind seems to interest them above all, for something that
stirs in the mind that cannot be seen, is enough to send
those close go mad, and there is only one cure for
madness, it often ends in a short drop and sudden stop or
a needle to the wrist.

Mobster Class
A mobster controls everything from the street corner
drug trade to the highest levels of overnment.,
Hounded by law enforcement officials, marked for
death by their enemies, mobsters live violent and
often brief lives. A mobster at its core is about one
thing, money. Still, there are secret rituals,
complicated rules and tangles webs of family loyalty.
��
First, the potential mobster is told simply to "dress up"
or "get dressed". They are then taken to a p[rivate
place and seated at a long table, right next to the Don.
Other mobsters who are present will join hands and
recite oaths and promises of loyalty. The inductee
must then hold a burning piece of paper. In some
families, the new mobster is paired with a more
experienced mobster who will act as their 'Godfather',
guiding them through crimincal life. The inductee
must promise that they will be a member of the family
for life, and then a drop of blood is drawn from their
trigger finger.
��
The ultimate point of a mobster is to make money.
Families use a variety of activities to accomplish this.
One of the most common is also one of the simplest,
extortion. Extortion is forcing people to give up their
money by threatening them in some way, usually in a
way that 'protects' them, though in reality, it is
protection from the mobsters themselves.

Private Investigator Class
A defining quality of all detectives is their thirst for
knowledge and their excitement for mysteries. Their
inquisitive nature leads them to places many other
heroes would not usually find themselves, a detective
will often not go on a job, if there is not mystery,
intrigue or secrets interwoven within it. Now of
course, there are always exception to this. It is very
likely that a detective owes a favor to another detective,
possibly the job at hand has ties to a long-dead crime
organisation or mystery, the detective had abandoned
long ago. Whatever the reasons, when a detective finds
themselves on a job or completing one they leave no
stone unturned, thirsting for every one of their
questions to be answered and everything within the
job given plausible reason for its occurrence.
��
The reason for a detective choosing this path of life is
because within them they have a strong moral compass.
This compass calls them to right the wrongs
committed by others and quell injustice wherever they
see it. This strong moral right-standing could have been
ingrained within their mind as a child by their parents or
teachers, or possibly, an event of great tragedy or i
njustice may propel them to stop the same happening
to those around them. Because of this, detectives very
rarely have a bad intention and more often then not will
steer towards the rightful solutions to problems

Scientist Class
Society repels those who follow unapproved scientific
pursuits, disbarring them from study at institutions of higher
learning and carefully watching expelled students long after
their education has ended. Already cast as pariahs, it is
difficult for scientists to truly reform and properly become a
part of any community yet to survive and continue their
work, they must befriend others whether to acquire some
obscurity from inquisitors, find esoteric and rare resources,
gather test subjects, or effect a quick means of getting out
of town. After the usually unexpectedly unfair treatment
received at the hands of higher powers it comes naturally to
them to keep these associations a secret, ever watchful for
potential agents of government, religions, rival inventors and
guilds, or any other potential rivals lurking nearby.
The more insane scientists are often wicked souls that have
managed to survive capture and reformation or
imprisonment at the hands of law and order, hidden and
aided by technology much harder to detect and track than
the arcane. Some seek out private sanctums to continue
their research undisturbed, but others join with revolutionary
movements rising against the established order, relying on
their cunning and intellect where others would turn to
strength of arm or flee in cowardice. That is not to say they
don’t appreciate weaponry, however–in order to survive and
ultimately enact justice on the society that has cast them out
for their intellectual pursuits, devices of both defensive and
offensive intent are of the utmost importance.

used the immediate surroudnings to hide your position,
for at dawn, the final push was to be made.
��
Trenches were longer, deeper, and better defended by
steel, concrete, and barbed wire than ever before. They
were far stronger and more effective than chains of
forts, for they formed a continuous network, sometimes
with four or five parallel lines linked by interfacings.
They were dug far below the surface of the earth out of
reach of the heaviest artillery.
Grand battles with the old maneuvers were out of the
question. Only by bombardment, sapping, and assault
could the enemy be shaken, and such operations had to
be conducted on an immense scale to produce
appreciable results. Indeed, it is questionable whether
the enemy lines could ever have been broken if the
enemy had not wasted their resources in unsuccessful
assaults, and the blockade by sea had not gradually cut
off their supplies. In such warfare no single general
could strike a blow that would make him immortal; the
"glory of fighting" sank down into the dirt and mire of
trenches and dugouts
