Unconsciousness and Death

(Back to Combat)

Call of Cthulhu is a horror game and sometimes it may be more terrifying for an investigator to stay conscious; if the Keeper wishes, a character may be incapacitated rather than fully unconscious. Equally, final death does not have to occur instantaneously, and the light in a character's eyes might not go out until after a particular dramatic moment or once their final words have been uttered (at the Keeper's discretion).
