Elder Sign Bullets

Firearms ammunition carefully inscribed with the Elder Sign. When used against certain Mythos creatures, Elder Sign bullets cause an additional 1D10+1 damage and also work as a magical weapon against monsters who are normally unaffected by non-magical items.

Which Mythos Monsters are affected by an Elder Sign bullet is determined by the Keeper. Note that an Elder Sign normally only works against minions of Mythos deities (e.g. Great Old Ones and Outer Gods). No one has yet confirmed whether magic bullets have had any effect upon the greater powers of The Mythos.

  • To build: requires casting the Elder Sign spell (see page 255, Call of Cthulhu Keeper Rulebook), which allows for the creation of 6 bullets inscribed with the Elder Sign, in addition to a combined Firearms and Sleight of Hand roll. Note that a suitable Art/Craft skill may be substituted for the Sleight of Hand roll (denoting the fine manipulation required to carefully engrave the bullet).
