The House of Magnus Ateius Scaro

The House of Scaro is a weeping pustule upon Rome. In each heart lies the blackest venom, each soul conceals a nest of vipers. Each bed births little but the monstrous cancer that threatens all men of moral heart. -Capellus B. Antonius, Admonitiones ad populum Deceased.

The House of Magnus Ateius Scaro is a game set in Pannonia/Dacia, around 208ad, using the Call of Cthulhu 6th Edition and the Cthulhu Invictus 2004 edition rules.

No Cthulhu Mythos to begin with.

HP are Con + Siz divided by 2 rounding up. MP equals Pow.

Use any naming convention you like, but bear in mind slaves generally have only one name.

Default language is Latin, unless you have reasons.

Age is anything from 18 to Edu+3, unless you want to be older. In that case increase Edu by 1 and occupation skill points by 20 for every 10 years older, but also decrease either Str, Con, Dex or App by 1 point for each decade.

Choose an occupation from the list below. Each occupation has 8 skills attached (check your book or message me). You have a number of points to spend in them equal to your Edu multiplied by 20, plus 20 for each extra decade of age. Then multiply your Int by 10 and spend that many points on any skills you like.
