I run a couple different fully virtual ttrpgs, and I use FoundryVTT for the lion share of the work, along with KenkuFM and Discord. I’ve been limping along with an oldish Dell Latitude that I bought refurb half a decade ago for 200 big ones, and it always running at a billion degrees and having fan issues is getting tiring.

I’d love to not go over $500, I would also love to not get third degree burns while playing Call of Cthulhu. Thank you in advance!

Reading the text of Fist of Yog-Sothoth, the example is as follows:

>the caster spends 5 magic points to hit an investigator 50 feet away. 1 magic point is spent on the range.The other 4 generate a STR of 8D10 that are rolled for a result of 57. The investigator fails a Hard CON roll (since the spells STR is over 50) and so they are knocked unconscious. The investigatorhas a SIZ of 45 and is bowled back 12 feet by the impact.

I understand that it goes cast spell -> allocate mp -> generate spells strength. Where I get confused is would the caster make a STR check using the derived strength score for the spell opposing the target's CON save, or is there a level of success chart based on the relative strength of the spell that I have missed somewhere and only the investigator needs to make a CON save?
