Mythos Knowledge

Knowledge (Mythos)

Knowledge (Mythos) indicates one’s knowledge of the great old ones and similarly ancient lore that “Man Was Not Meant to Know.” Such knowledge risks insanity, however.

  • When confronted by some elder evil, you may roll Knowledge (Mythos). Success and each raise gives you a +2 bonus to your Guts check.
  • However, each rank of Knowledge (Mythos) also comes with a Hindrance. These Hindrances accumulate, so a character with Knowledge (Mythos) d8 has the Hindrances Delusional (minor) and Phobia (minor).
Knowledge (Mythos) Hindrance
d4 Quirk
d6 Delusional (minor)
d8 Phobia (minor, some element of the Mythos, like non-Euclidean geometry, or squids)
d10 Delusional (major)
d12 The character goes insane (becomes an NPC)
