A selection follows. The GM should feel free to devise relatively minor cantrips whenever they might be useful to the Great Old One. Cthulhu has a -1 bonus to all Alienism spells due to his FX Mastery perk. When Cthulhu casts a spell that causes damage, the spell's firepower is increased to at least these levels depending on his skill: rank 1-6 Good, rank 7-18 Small Craft, rank 19-24 Light, rank 25-30 Medium.

On a Marginal result, he recovers 2d4+2 Stun points. On an Ordinary, Good or Amazing result, he recovers 2d4+2 Wound points. Reintegration: If Cthulhu is reduced to 0 Wound points, he bursts apart into a foul-smelling, greasy green vapour, and reforms in d12+8 minutes with full Wound points once again. Hideous Grasp: Cthulhu's enormous claws can snatch up or crush multiple smaller creatures at a blow. He can strike or grapple all creatures within the listed area of effect, using a single control die but rerolling a different situation die for each target. Morph: In common with all of his kind, Cthulhu's shape is mutable. He can elongate his extremities as if he had Biokinesis-morph, though this ability is not psionic and requires no skill check or power points. He has at least eight different morph forms and the morph control ability as rank benefits. Sanity Loss: Any human who sees great Cthulhu must make a Knowledge-deduce check with a -3 bonus to determine if he can correlate the being's presence with the scraps of myth and race-memory that hint at the reign of the Great Old Ones. On an Ordinary success, the witness must make a horror check with a +3 penalty, and immediately loses one rank in Resolve-mental resolve. On a Good or Amazing success, the witness must make a madness check at +3 penalty and loses three ranks in Resolve-mental resolve. |
