Cthulhu: Rulebook for Investigators - Hardcover
"The greatest mercy in this world is, it seems to me, the inability of the human mind to relate all its internal contents to one another."
In the horror role-playing game Cthulhu, players take on the roles of ordinary people who, as investigators, look into inexplicable incidents. Their inquiries lead them to abandoned places, onto the trail of secret cults, and to truths that can overwhelm the human mind.
The Rulebook for Investigators is aimed specifically at players. It contains all the important rules needed to create your own investigator and face the dangers of the Cthulhu Mythos—without giving away secrets intended exclusively for the game master.
In addition to the basic game mechanics, the book offers expanded options for character creation as well as numerous descriptions of occupations and skills. Rules for combat, chases, sanity, and dealing with supernatural forces help guide your character safely through the investigation—as far as that is even possible in the world of Cthulhu.

Note
The Investigator Rulebook deliberately does not contain detailed information on monsters, Mythos deities, forbidden books, or spells. These secrets remain reserved for the Keeper and are included in the Cthulhu Core Rulebook.
For the Keeper, the Core Rulebook is therefore still required. The Investigator Rulebook is the ideal supplement for anyone who wants to create their own character and look up the rules independently at any time.
