PULP-O-METER: OPTIONAL RULES

OPTIONAL HIT POINTS

Pulp heroes can take double the amount of damage as a standard Call of Cthulhu character. If you prefer heroes to be less resilient and want a low-level pulp game, add CON and SIZ together, then divide the total by 10 rounding down any fractions.

OPTIONAL TALENTS

Each hero gets two pulp talents, however, this number can be lowered or raised to suit styles of play. For low-level pulp, reduce talents to one per hero, or do away with them completely. If you wish to really pump up the heroes, then allow them to take three talents apiece. Note that the more talents you allow heroes to have, the more adept they become.
