This next part had me scratching my head for a bit. During the game, players can sometimes get additional clues by spending points from their pool. Their pool? Their pool of what? Investigative points? What in the hell are those?
It took me a few days of lurking in a forum dedicated to Call of Cthulhu games before I could find the answer.
Detective Almonds has a rating of 4 for Cop Talk, ergo he has four points to spend when it comes to Cop Talk.
GM: If you'd like, you can spend a point in Cop Talk to get a little bit of extra info from the snitch.
Almonds: Sure, I'll spend that point from Cop Talk.
GM: With that point spent, you're able to convince Wally the Weasel to give you the name of his employer and purchase some extra firepower, if you so choose.
Detective Almonds still has a rating of 4 in Cop Talk, but now only has 3 points to spend towards Cop Talk.
The example given was fairly bland, but it's just a stop gap until I get more in depth into point spends and benefits.
