Byakhee is an investigator generator for the role playing game Call of Cthulhu. In addition to generating investigators, it also prints out character sheets and player handouts.

Other Call of Cthulhu Character software

When an investigator is injured or wounded, subtract the loss from the amount currently shown on the investigators sheet. Unless a keeper decrees otherwise, or unless losing half or more of current hit points from a single attack, an injured investigator function normally until lowered to 2 hit points or fewer, and then goes unconscious or dies. This volume deals with the so-called Classic Era (1920s/1930s) Call of Cthulhu where real world weapons of all sorts are stat’ed for the Basic Role Playing system. Subsequent volumes will address Modern and presumably archaic and maybe Future and/or exotic weapons. From the PDF: Investigator Weapons for Call of Cthulhu in the Classic era is a comprehensive collection of weapons available to stalwart investigators of the Cthulhu Mythos and their crazed cultist opponents. Investigator Weapons covers handguns, rifles, shotguns, submachine guns, machine guns, flamethrowers, melee weapons, explosives, and special ammunition; and gathers together all the spot.
