18.14 Ghouls

Ghouls Lore

Local DV 6: Ghouls are undead creatures that hunger for the flesh of the living. Their bodies are emaciated and desiccated, with no blood or fluids remaining. Although they are sometimes confused with zombies, ghouls are faster and smarter than their lesser kin.

Local DV 11: Ghouls can lay simple ambushes, but lack the capacity for complex traps or schemes. They are commmonly found in the service of vampires. As natural servants, ghouls are weak-willed despite their combat acumen.

Local DV 16: Vampires can create new ghouls by fully draining a creature’s blood shortly after death. Necromancers can achieve the same ends with a ritual. In either case, the newly created ghoul owes its creator no allegiance unless compelled to do so, making the process dangerous for the unprepared.
