Void Healing

A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.

Consume Flesh One Action (manipulate)

Requirements The ghoul is adjacent to the corpse of a creature that died within the last hour.

Effect The ghoul devours a chunk of the corpse and regains 1d6 healing Hit Points.

It can regain Hit Points from any given corpse only once.

Saving Throw DC 15 fortitude

Stage 1 carrier with no ill effect (1 day)

Stage 2 3d8 void damage and regains half as many Hit Points from all healing (1 day)

Paralysis (incapacitation, occult)

Any living, non-elf creature hit by a ghoul's attack must succeed at a DC 15 fortitude save or become Paralyzed. It can attempt a new save at the end of each of its turns, and the DC cumulatively decreases by 1 on each such save.

Swift Leap One Action (move)

The ghoul jumps up to half its Speed. This movement doesn't trigger reactions.

Ghouls are ravenous undead who haunt graveyards and eat corpses.

Few creatures are more ubiquitous to sinister locations such as lonely graveyards and ruined crypts than the flesh-eating undead known as ghouls.

Traits

Common

Anything that doesn't list another rarity trait (uncommon, rare, or unique) automatically has the common trait. This rarity indicates that an ability, item, or spell is available to all players who meet the prerequisites for it. A creature of this rarity is generally known and can be summoned with the appropriate summon spell.

Ghoul

Ghouls are vile undead creatures that feast on flesh.

Undead

Once living, these creatures were infused after death with void energy and soul-corrupting unholy magic. When reduced to 0 Hit Points, an undead creature is destroyed. Undead creatures are damaged by vitality energy and are healed by void energy, and don't benefit from healing vitality effects.

Unholy

Effects with the unholy trait are tied to powerful magical forces of cruelty and sin. They often have stronger effects on holy creatures. Creatures with this trait are strongly devoted to unholy causes, and often have weakness to holy. If a creature with weakness to unholy uses an unholy item or effect, it takes damage from its weakness.
