Ghoul

What is left when hunger outlasts the person. Ghouls keep enough of themselves to plan and not nearly enough to stop, and they hunt in the places where a body will not be missed for a week.

Features

  • Paralysing Claws

    Your claws are a natural melee weapon dealing 1d6 slashing damage. Once per turn on a hit, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against DC 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus or be paralysed until the end of its next turn.

  • Carrion Constitution

    You are immune to disease and to poison damage, and you can eat anything that was once alive without ill effect.

  • Undying Frame

    You do not age and you do not need to breathe. You automatically succeed on death saving throws against damage that is not radiant.

  • The Hunger

    If you go 24 hours without consuming flesh, you gain one level of exhaustion that cannot be removed until you do.
