Call of Cthulhu RPG: Investigator Handbook
The player's book. Everything about building someone worth losing.
The Investigator Handbook is the companion to the Keeper Rulebook, written for the people sitting on the other side of the screen. It covers character creation in depth — occupations, skills, backstory, and the pulp options for groups who want their investigators a little more capable than the average academic.
Alongside the mechanics there is a great deal on the 1920s setting itself: what things cost, how people travelled, what a private investigator or a dilettante actually did with their days. It is as much a research tool as a rulebook.
Requires the Call of Cthulhu Keeper Rulebook to play.
Perfect for: Players who want more than the quick-start character options.
