Ghoul race

Race ghoul

Ghouls -- corpse-eaters and fans of all things decaying. Not quite alive, not quite not, but definitely hungry. Long nails, crooked teeth, breath... you get the idea.

What's inside them is hard to make worse -- poison, disease and dark energy are no obstacle. Charm doesn't work on them either, and cold they barely feel. Fire, holy power, bright light and silver, though, are an execution for a ghoul: they flare up like kindling and retreat with a shriek.

They see the living, the hidden, and by infravision; the curse is ever upon them; wounds knit on the move. In battle they go berserk, kick, parry, trip, crush, dodge, and move fast.

They prowl near Graveyard, in Chapel Dungeon and in Old Marsh. They feed mostly on carrion, but won't turn down the fresh either.
