Hunger [ edit ]

As a Ghoul, your diet is comprised of three things, Humanoids, Coffee, and water. Ghouls require 1 Medium sized humanoid per 1d12 + your Constitution modifier days, otherwise, they will attack the nearest humanoid and attempt to kill and eat them on sight. Ghouls usually wear a mask when hunting in order to keep their identity a secret. When your Kagune is out or you're eating or hungry, Your sclera(White part of the eye) turns black and your iris turns blood red. If you fail to meet your hunger requirements, you lose the ability to use your Kagune until you eat, and for every day you starve you gain a level of exhaustion. If you consume food beyond your ghoul diet, you must succeed a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or vomit, and regardless of the outcome it does not count toward your food requirement.

RC Cells [ edit ]

RC Cells are the fuel for Kagune. You have a maximum number of RC Cells equal to the number listed in the RC Cells Column + your Constitution modifier. You regain all RC Cells during a short rest. Eating a small amount a human flesh lets you add your proficiency modifier to your current RC Cells, and eating an entire humanoid gives you double your proficiency bonus. If the creature you eat is considered Large or greater, you add your proficiency bonus again for each size difference.

Regeneration [ edit ]

At 2nd level, ghouls have a natural ability to regenerate. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 RC Cell to regain a number of hit points equal to the amount listed per Kagune below + your Constitution modifier. Spending 2 RC Cells lets you double your Constitution modifier when healing yourself.

Some ghouls are born with two different Kagune, granting you two choices in what Kagune your ghoul can use. They can both be deployed simultaneously, and you must meet the RC Cell requirements for both kagune every turn. Once you use an attack action with one Kagune, you must only attack with that Kagune. If you have multiple attacks you can only use one Kagune per instance on that attack action( E.x if I can attack twice per attack action, I can use my Rinkaku twice, my Rinkaku and my Ukaku once, or use my Ukaku twice). When you gain a Kagune feature, you may gain 1 feature in order from either Kagune.

Kagune have their own separate hit points. Their AC is your AC - 2.

If your Kagune reaches 0 hit points, it retracts into your body until they return to at least 1 hit point. Anytime you regain hit points, you can choose to have your Kagune regain them instead. If you regain hit points by using your RC Cells, and you choose them to go to your Kagune, your Kagune regains double the amount of hit points it would restore. Your Kagune regains all hit points at the end of a long rest. Your Kagune gain any resistances or immunities you have and are immune to psychic damage.
