The BRP Point-Buy System
The big yellow book also has an optional point-buy system. Every player receives 24 points to spend on characteristics, which all (with the possible exception of EDU) start at 10. STR, CON, SIZ, and APP cost 1 point to raise 1 level (or give 1 extra point for every level reduced from 10). DEX, INT, POW, and EDU cost/grant 3 points. No characteristic can be reduced below 3 and none raised above 21.
EDU is a special case, as there is no given starting base. It is supposed to depend on a character's age, but no formula is given for this. If EDU starts at 10 like the other characteristics, an average CoC investigator cannot even be created in this system as it would require 27 points to bring an EDU of 10 to 13.5, INT and SIZ to 13, and everything else to 10.5. Otherwise, with 24 points spread evenly, an investigator will have 11.5 in every characteristic.
As BRP does state that a character's age cannot be younger than EDU +5 and that the default age is 17+1D6, it could be extrapolated by averages that EDU should start at 15.5. If spread evenly amongst the characteristics, that would be a little more than 12.5 in every characteristic.
As EDU is an optional characteristic in BRP, the standard system allocates skills with 250 occupational points for a normal campaign, 325 for a heroic campaign, 400 for an epic campaign, and 500 for a superhuman campaign. Extrapolating from that, EDU would start around 12.5 in the "normal" campaign setting (EDU x 20 for skill points) of Call of Cthulhu. If spread evenly, an investigator would have almost 12 points in every characteristic.
If the BRP point-buy system is used, with 24 available points, a normal setting (EDUx20), EDU starting at 10, and the points spread evenly, the average investigator will have about 40% in their occupational skills and about 4 hobby skills at 40%.
In a heroic setting (36 points to spend on characteristics and EDUx25 for occupational skills) with those same conditions, the average investigator will have 12.25 in their characteristics, about 50% in their occupational skills and a little over 4 hobby skills at 40%.
In an epic setting (48 points to spend on characteristics and EDUx30) with those same conditions, the average investigator will have 13 in their characteristics, about 60% in their occupational skills and about 5 hobby skills at 40%.
In a superhuman setting (60 points to spend on characteristics and EDUx40) with those same conditions, the average investigator will have 13.75 in their characteristics, about 80% in their occupational skills and a little over 5 hobby skills at 40%. |
