Hi,

two issues regarding Character creation in Call of Cthulhu 7e Ruleset:

1) when I click on "edit list" to spend the occupation and personal points on skills all the skill names disappear! Here is what I (don't) see: 34528

2) when I use the table to roll dice to generate the characteristics, the results are shown in the chat log, but:
a- they are in a 3-18 scale, when I need to have them in a 15-90 scale: do I need to multiply them by 5 by myself?!
b- is there a way to transfer the results in the character sheet or do I need to rewrite them in?

1) this has been reported before, info here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?51311-Skills-bug

They were running an old version of the ruleset and CoreRPG. What version numbers are shown in the chat window after you load your camapign?

Still unanswered the following issue:

I've forwarded your question to the community developers who built this ruleset.

Hi Galdor,

Sorry for the late reply - yes that is how tables work - they will output to chat and then you multiply by 5. You can drag the info to the charsheet but if you dont multiply by 5 your investigators will not be much fun.

Hi Galdor,

Just as a FYI, my NPC Generator mod available in Forge has a table in it called NPC Attribute Roller that will do what you want for 2). Share it with you players and multiplication will be done when they roll.
