Law (Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition)

Quick answer

A percentile skill rating (0–100) you roll under on d100.

Definition

Knowing legal procedures, rights, and leverage—what’s enforceable and what’s just bluffing.

How to use it
  • This is your Law rating (0–100).
  • When you attempt it, you typically roll d100 and succeed if you roll equal to or under your rating.
Common mistake: Thinking high rolls are good — CoC skills are usually roll-under.
Example: I know what I can threaten (and what I can’t) with Law.
